Wow, way to try to sound educated while just pulling stuff out of your ass. Under investment in agriculture? Lol. Afghanistan is the major supplier of saffron that Iran should learn from? How about Iran being the producer of close to 90 percent of the total global production. Spreading fake info poisons the information on Lemmy for all. Truly pathetic behavior.
Why are you confidently spouting nonsense all over the place? When has Israel bombed an Iranian nuclear site, ever? When you say “every time they make progress Israel bombs them”, you should be able to at least name a couple of times that has happened, right? Come on, look it up, you should be able to find at least one case. No? Stop spreading info you’ve pulled out of your rectum, people like you are the reason nothing online can be trusted. It’s poison, so please stfu when you have no idea what you’re talking about. This doesn’t make you sound smart, it makes you a nuisance.
Ahh, ok, got it. So it’s out of an extraordinary callous attitude where bombing of people is shitty when and only when they impact my life.
How does the attacked country being a “paper tiger” influence your judgement of whether it’s shitty or not to attack it? Is it less shitty to attack a country because it’s perceived as being weaker? Is it only shitty when the attacked country is able to defend itself? Why? That would make the Israeli genocide on Palestinians “less shitty” too, since you know, “Israel has been beating the shit out of them for years now.”
It’s an interesting moral compass you’ve got there.
They had the same situation in Iran 1979 for example, and the military refused direct orders from the king to fire on the crowds. However, Iran had a conscript military and not the ‘professional’ thuggery of the modern US volunteer military.
Commenting “fuck ACAB nonsense” on a post that clearly demonstrates ACAB is kinda wild. Did you not read how the local PD enabled the ICE thugs by arresting people for “laying hands on federal agents”? Those Cs aren’t Bs?
Where are all those brave Americans chastising the cowardly Russians for not standing up to Putin’s bullshit? What happened? I thought you were all armed to the teeth, and brave as fuck? But now somehow everyone suddenly has become so damn sensible in assessing the threats to themselves personally. I wonder what changed. No longer gong ho about revolution when it comes with personal costs, are we? Who would’ve thought…
I’d say geographical size has very little to do with it, unless you think Canada is more diverse because of its size? Population size would probably be a better marker for this purpose.
“If that’s not the crisis, nothing is,” he closed.
The writer’s almost there: nothing is.
Ok, thanks for clarifying. So neck beards basically? That’s a different type of “beard” altogether, they’ve always been more reactionary than anything else:-) feel better about my beard now, got a little worried for real.
Wait, beards are right wing now? WTF? I thought beards were the sign of soy hipster feminist men, what happened? I was much more comfortable being labeled a bearded soy hipster than I am with a right wing loon label. Being of middle eastern origin, the hipster label is the only ‘acceptable’ way for me to keep the beard. The distance from a label of conservative right winger to being deemed an islamist terrorist is not very far. Fuck.
I think it’s one of my all time favorites. I think people here live in the tech literate bubble who know how to use specialized software for the different things excel does, albeit clunkily. But average people are intimidated by those more advanced tools, and there are a lot of average people in decision making positions who benefit greatly from being able to use excel.
Well, the Brits still retain a large chunk of the arrogance that came with the Empire they no longer possess. So I wouldn’t hold my breath. #1 baby!
He’s getting the Trump Gold Card that was announced, not getting deported. That card is just a call for the world’s shadiest people to relocate to the US. Perfect, what could go wrong?!
Let’s just not mention that the “whichever new faith” we’re speaking of is the very rapey evangelical Christianity, while making sure that we randomly emphasize that Islam is rapey, which is then expanded into Muslims being rapey. All in a post that has nothing at all to do with Islam or Muslims or refugees or whatever other bogeymen we regularly like to demonize.
Iran got involved in Syria to fight IS, the same people that rebranded as HTS, the leader of which now has put on a suit, changed his name and rules the new Syria. One of the first thing they did: started massacring minorities in Syria by the thousands, just in the last week. Also, Syria is in the Middle East, next to Iran. Iran isn’t involved in military operations in Mexico. If IS wasn’t stopped in Iraq and Syria, they’d be massacring civilians in Iran, since Iranians are Shia and therefore heretics to be killed.
Your view unfortunately seems to have been influenced by the classification of nations as axis of evil that I referred to above. It’s confused and incoherent, and lacks a whole lot of nuance. That’s what happens when nations are classified as “evil”, which is a metaphysical religious term making nuance impossible. You say “if Palestine were suddenly freed from the Zionists”, thereby implying that you consider this a worth while goal, while simultaneously vilifying the only forces in the region working to achieve that liberation, namely Hamas, Hizbollah and Ansar Allah in Yemen, as “proxy armies” of Iran, completely delegitimizing their agency and the fight for the very liberation you seem to support.
Finally, it’s absolutely wild to state that a Palestine under the influence of Iran would be “the same shit all over again” as the almost century long oppression, occupation, dispossession and genocide carried out by the Zionists against the Palestinian people. Absolutely wild! I urge you to take a step back and consider that statement, and why you would make such an absurd and outrageous claim to begin with. Because I feel like you’re doing that without thinking about it a whole lot, and would reconsider that position if you thought about the comparison you’re making. Iran has zero designs on dispossessing or occupying Palestine and its people. To compare that with what Israel has been doing is just not a good look.
Comparing Iran to Russia and the US is strange in every way. Iran has a very defensive military, geared towards defending Iran. There aren’t exactly private military contractors from Iran everywhere just murdering anyone that isn’t snow white. Iran hasn’t surrounded the US with military bases. People just completely swallowed that axis of evil horseshit.
“Axis of evil” was a phrase coined by W in order to justify his highly illegal “war on terror”, and we’re still paying the price for that. Just adopting a propaganda concept this stupid as a viable way to categorize nations is not a good move.
He’s just thankful that Jeffrey was the man who introduced his brother Kimbal and his girlfriend. So Elon’s sister in law is from the old Epstein stable. Keep it in the family.
Kinda like what they did to Sadat in 1981.
