I think these protests are just ideological. They wont get anywhere. Iran will kill them all if they have to. There is a critcal mass of people in Iran that want to preserve the current system, at all costs. To them, an Iran run by a secular democracy is Iran probably not worth existing. Iran is...
You do know that the current supreme leader of Iran is half Azerbaijani on his fathers side. Iran doesnt have these ethnic problems. The people that run Iran put their religion first, country second and ethnic group probably third.
These groups have shared Iran for thousands of years. I don't...
Don’t forget the Arabs played a much bigger role in downfall of ottomans. While Turks were sending tens of thousands of teenagers to their death to defer the motherland, the Arabs were helping the Europeans. Well you must pay the price for your freedom at some point.
It’s jit good to laugh at...
I dont think this will work out well for your people. What a shameful think to say.
The only ones that have really pogromed jews are europeans, and the consequences can be seen in europe today. Pretty good life, excellent economy, Good roads. Trains that run on time.
Well if they need constant resupply from west, then yes they can be depleted.
Lol, US does not need nato. You think Estonia will shift the balance and US cant do without them?
Germany and France are enemies of Iran, They were never with Iran. Are you serious?
Iran is making its own allies all...
I have said before you dont look at strategic objectives. You seem fixated on tactics. Like the US military. Very good at tactics, very bad at strategy lately when dealing with muslims.
So you probably dont make sense of it, like the US didnt make sense of terror attacks in 2001. The objective...
There are 52+ muslim countries. They are not all free, but the ones that have freedom, they usually had to fight very hard and suffer extreme casualties. Often genocide. Often many genocides. Usually the moderate and reasonable ones were the first to die and what's left is the hard...
I think I do. Saudi will get one supposedly because of Iran. But thats only one reason. They obviously want one to also defend against any threat, not just Iran. They cant name the other threats. But they are real, and they would love to have a nuke.
Let me make a small prediction. Everyone in...
In a similar way, Israel if it acts unreasonably and kills I dont know 1 million Palestinians, it will only lead to a change in the global order quicker. All the regional players will know they could be next at the slightest whim of Israel and will do whatever it takes to preserve themselves...
you brought up Japan, and I think no, America could not repeat the Japan scenario despite its great strength. Primarily because it would lead to a total destruction of its own world order because other players would take decisive steps to prevent America doing what it did to Japan and that level...
The US, whilst very powerful is not capable of subjugating the whole world through destructive force. Simply because there are other countries capable of ending the US as a viable nation state and the first attempt made by the US to wipe out a nation or a people will signal to the rest of the...
Yes they did allow voting and did send some girls to school. This does not change all the crimes they committed against the local population. The mass murder and destruction that created endless recruits ready to fight and die to get the Americans out.
This could not have been accidental. The...
Oh yeah, US went into Iraq and Afghanistan in order to build a jeffersonian democracy. And it was rejected. lol.
Actually they went in to brutalise and kill random people out of a desire for revenge. To destroy the countries and use their natural resources to fund an American led rebuidling...
While this is accurate, it's laughable to think bush w was a competent strategist and leader. Everyone in America will tell you that he started a decades long folly that cost America dearly and achieved no useful strategic aim. in fact it distracted America for decades and it is now facing huge...
Well not really. As you can see they need new supplies of weapons at day 1 or they are incapable of doing much at all. Without being armed and funded by the whole western alliance they are truly doomed very quickly. I think the whole world saw that. Militarily their future prospects are grim...
You will make them change a flag and help them become a global economic powerhouse?
That’s how they deal with Nazis. What’s this obsession with Nazis? Why are they a measure of something?
As you can see Europeans saw the future and engaged is some very effective self defence so they dont have to suffer like this. It was painful because Germans and many others suffered their own minor genocide From air bombardment. Freedom is not free.
Firstly it's very distressing to watch. Second we all know here thats its happening and we all want to stop it. We are preaching this to the converted. We obviously cant stop it. So why not have a thread dedicated to it and keep this for the actual conflict as the heading states?
Iran and various groups have been warning Israelis to evacuate for decades to avoid casualties and yes the calls are always ignored, They even have many citizenships to choose from. People of Gaza cant just go to their summer house in Switzerland. The only option Gaza people have is Egyptian...
