Tehran “is the principal source of regional instability and terror,” declare G7 leaders in a joint statement.

The leaders of the G7 countries on Monday issued a joint statement saying Iran should not have nuclear weapons and affirming Israel’s right to defend itself.

“Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” declared the statement, issued by the leaders of the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan, along with the EU.

They pledged to “remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.”

    The world would be a safer place if not only every country had nukes, but also every adult citizen had a farm of combat drones.

    I personally don’t want to hear of NATO&allies lecturing everyone else morals. Tired of that. And I understand why in ex-USSR the perception of them like some global good guys was common - the reaction to very invasive and obnoxious and irritating Soviet propaganda.

    I don’t understand how people in the west can believe that.

    Anyway, no intelligent person from the west I’ve talked to did, so … kinda as it should be.

      Imagine giving every potential madman (including school shooters and what not) destructive weapons thinking you’re making world a better place. Unhinged take honestly.

        School shooters usually use it as their last resort. Bullying of autistic kids is the main problem. Them finding such an exit is a secondary one.

          No, school shooters aren’t using it as a last resort. They are physcopaths who feel slighted and can’t process emotions.

            This is wrong. Psychopaths feel themselves just fine in the society and usually don’t become school shooters.

            Shooting up bullies is a very crude solution, one that a psychopath usually doesn’t need.

            In any case most of school shootings I’ve read about were connected to bullying, and bully lives don’t matter. Don’t bully, don’t get killed.

            A psychopath usually plans their murders, so they’ll do just fine with a heavy sharp object or a reactive not intended for food getting into food. A psychopath will also be on the convenient side of any socially approved action.

            I’ve recently fully realized that I’ve met a high quality psychopath once.
