Someone clearly does "give a fig".

People who want to weaken the western world most certainly 'give a fig'.
Their actions are stil nefarious, no matter how they spin it.

Do you really think the Iranian leaders care about international law?

The Israelis bombarded Iran with warnings in Parsi for the population to avoid using trains today, and to avoid being near railway lines and bridges.

Can anyone name one other army in the world that goes to those lengths to reduce civilian casualties.

There's a lot of truth in this. When you think back to some of the truly heinous acts committed in, oh let's say WW2, you do wonder if a country would be stopped present day if it started doing something similar and on the same scale.

As you say a lot of talk, a lot of tough rhetoric, very little consequence for those committing the crimes.

Yep. Its only when certain people are trying to appear to be nice that the subject of international law raises its toothless snout.
When the chips are down no one gives a damn, and understandably so.

Many armies around the world have, as a mission objective, to cause as many civilian casualties as possible.
Or take civilian hostages to use as bargaining chips. Most of which die regardless.
They know how to behave and have good examples everywhere showing prosperous outcomes for those who can act in a civilised manner.
Yet, they continue to behave like animals.
 
It's not very common these days for an army to prepare and execute a plan to destroy homes, hospitals, sewage works and water supplies with the deliberate intent of spreading polio and other diseases among the civilian population.

Diarrhoea is a very effective way of killing babies and children, and vulnerable or older people.

The Israeli army did that, knowingly and deliberately.

They also take thousands of civilian hostages to use as bargaining chips.

It is no secret.

They continue to act worse than animals.

Supporters of racist genocide, such as filly and lirefighter, approve the actions of the murderous State of Israel.

There was some action taken (eventually) when it happened in the Balkans.

This video will show you just how crazy Trumps attacking Iran has now made the world a more dangerous place and equally how Trump has just ramped up the motivation for Iran to produce an arsenal of nuclear weapons even though they never had them.

I've only listened to the first 10mins of that video.
Does the remaining hour or so explain why, Iran shouldn't be seen as a threat to, American, Israeli, or indeed the entire western world's security and wider interests?
He's going to have a monumental task justifying why they shouldn't after that opening :oops:
 
When you are firing live ammunition, mortars, artilary and dropping bombs, it is innevitable there will be civillian casualties which is both understandable and forgiveable. No proffessional army targets civillians to cause mass casualties on purpose, it is against any professional armies principles. Savages and Paramilitaries do it who have a disregard for civillians.
 
It is perhaps a pity that the control treaty put in place by Obama, allowing independent nuclear inspectors access to verify it was being followed, and giving concessions to Iran in return, was ripped up by Trump in a fit of spite,

No he explains how they used the threat of producing nuclear weapons and keeping below the threshold, they had 3 secret nuclear labs that were discovered and their nuclear capability is as any western worlds scientists. They can destroy their labs but they cannot now destroy their ability to produce these weapons, he reckons 2 years put back but they will now go for it after this war. A very inteseting history and insight. You should watch it as it does give a lot of info and puts things into prospective.
