Comment 1: The BBC is not caring about Iranian lives
My reply: Here’s an article where the BBC reports explicitly on Iranian deaths
People seem to be trying to assign a moral stance to the BBC in this article, but it’s a pretty straightforward summation of facts on a strike that occurred today. This is standard conflict reporting with no real moral stance being added.
You’ll never hear the BBC state with sufficient clarity that this war violates international law
They’ve gotten pretty damn close
Iran war shows norms of international conflicts have been overturned
Can’t find any reporting that the war is legal and completely okay.
If we want to delve more into my personal opinions, most Western nations do not want this war. I think they care more about the oil than the lives, but they still don’t want it. You are right though most will not distance themselves from the US over it. Germany and the UK particularly love the US military since its foreign bases bring a lot of revenue to local economies. I applaud Spain for being brave enough to say what needs to be said and hope the rest of the EU follows
