Comment on Iran attacks Oracle as retribution for sacked employees
BoJackHorseman@lemmy.today 1 day agoThe reason Iran has a dictatorship is because America overthrew a democratically elected leader in Iran and installed and a brutal dictator Shah in his place.
Still Iran has never initiated a war.

We hit Cambodia again from 80-95!?
Krono@lemmy.today 1 day ago
I’m guessing this is a reference to unexploded ordnance in Cambodia, which has killed 20,000 and caused 45,000 amputations since the war ended in 1979.
That war ended 50 years ago, and there is still 700 square miles of land contaminated by unexploded bombs.
At least one child will lose their hand to a US bomb this month in Cambodia, you can bet on it. And next month too.
