chaos215bar2 And what is this going to get them? Two possibilities: Either nothing happens, in which case the threat is shown to be empty. Or something does, in which case the past few weeks of destruction will look like a cute joke. Of course, that's what you get when you start a war by eliminating any possibility of rational negotiation. Reply
Notton The FBI got hacked by Iran, so it could be hacking. microslop has major data centers in Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Not sure what the other companies have in the Middle East. Seeing as those companies are profiteering from this conflict, I think they are legit targets. Reply
hotaru251 Strikingly, the IRGC warned employees of the named institutions, which also include J.P. Morgan, to "leave their workplaces immediately to save their lives." giving warning is actually shocking given other groups attacks who just do it and innocent people are killed. Not supportive of war at all but i do support them trying to avoid needless deaths by giving heads up. chaos215bar2 said: And what is this going to get them? pressure. The one thing that corpo hates is lost profit…and destruction of their property & product is VERY costly. That can motivate those in powerful positions to push gov's to stop as again big corpo is one of the few ways to put pressure on a gov to change how it behaves. (same way corpo lobby's gov's to get what they want) chaos215bar2 said: Of course, that's what you get when you start a war by eliminating any possibility of rational negotiation. they didn't start it… Reply

Generally speaking, bowing to pressure from threats by a foreign adversary to commit war crimes isn't a path the US tends to take. It's hard to say what an administration with zero principles but which also can't stand to be seen as "week" might do, admittedly. hotaru251 said: they didn't start it… "They" most certainly did. Unless you think I was talking about Iran here. Reply

3ogdy Given the threats coming from the IRGC, wouldn't it be fair for the companies that are being threatened to aid the American government in achieving 100% of its objectives in Iran? The IRGC just gave them the motivation and reasons to do it. They should all come together. Reply
