| I'm trying to imagine the kind of response the USA would inflict on a country that wiped a girls school stateside. |

| Extrapolate from the response to 9/11 but with 2026 technology and imagination is the only limit. |

| Yep. And when it happens, I'm not even going to be mad. We deserve it for making such a grave mistake. |

| They'd probably go all in, kill the leader of the nation, kill some of the successors in line, bomb the daylights out of a bunch of civillian sites, wipe out a girls school, sink a few ships... oh wait. |

| What about a company that killed 20000 to 30000 protestors with machine guns? |

| If Iran managed to get an American incel to shoot it up, the US regime would just shrug, "oh well, what can you do"... |

However, it's ""forbidden"" to point that out or suggest restricting the supply of firearms to internal enemies of the US in any way. |

| USA is fortunate to have the power to respond. 9/11, Pearl harbor are examples.
When Iran blew up a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires on the other hand... It took 32 years to arrange a meeting with G-d for those who are responsible. |

| ▲ | mdni007 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Yes thank god the US was able to retaliate against the countries directly involved with 9/11... Hypothetically, imagine if it ever comes out that one of our greatest allies was involved? I wonder what the reaction will be from Americans? The craziest is thing is that nothing would happen even if it were true | |
| ▲ | igleria 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Menem, the president at the time, and many more made every effort to cover up who was responsible. Only in Argentina you get such an attack with no group taking responsibility. Justice system in Argentina is corrupt as hell. | |

| ▲ | thyristan 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yes, but Germany isn't the US. We do believe in the "rules-based international order", meaning that there will be a strongly worded letter, some discussion in the UN security council, ending in a veto by China or Russia. Followed by years of nothing at all, a memorial and yearly speeches at some day of rememberance. I'm not sure if this is any better. | | |
| ▲ | myth_drannon 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | West Germany's response to Palestinian terrorism was horrendous. But again, it's all about power. When Arabs have the most important resource in the world, you have little choice and have to submit.
Lately Germany improved by much and grew some spine. |

| This site has really turned into tankie heaven. What happened? Why are you excusing this hack and why is your comment top voted on HN, a place for IT and devs? What happened to this site? Can we get a flag feature? |
