The whole reason why we are in this situation is because Russia completely mismanaged the southern Caucasus theatre. It has sold out Armenia to Turkey and Azerbaijan, with the CSTO missing in action. No wonder Armenians are turning against Russia and cozying up to the West. Russia is a dying...

Only one with no honor and a twisted sense of Iranian nationalism would refer to his fellow female compatriots as sluts. But then again, ardent regime supporters are known for their classless behaviour and poor nationalistic pedigree. You can thank the state for fanatically using Soleimani as...

Missile 358 in Yemen:

An influx of 300.000 undertrained and underequipped conscripts is not going to turn the tide, especially not without a competent officer corpse and persistent logistical problems. And the partial mobilization is already causing an exodus of military-age males from Russia it seems.

Our women are being harassed and killed. Our younger people are being robbed of their future. Our political system fails to allow any dissenting voice or alternative ideas. Our economic situation is dire, with millions of people living in poverty. Our social freedoms are nihil, with no hope for...

You may be right. But the current situation is untenable and unsustainable in the long-term. So with this mind, what do you envision for the future?

I'm very well aware of the consequences of such an upheavel. But it is exactly the route we are going to if the political system and elite won't budge and continues ignore the pleas and concerns of its citizens. Blame the Islamic Republic for this possible reality.

That is not what I'm talking about. And these Syrian and Libyan examples are completely misplaced. There has been no strong national identity in these countries, and its internal dynamics have always been a reflection of this. I'm talking about the old Iranian route, as the historian Michael...

The political system is entirely rotten, corrupt and old-fashioned. By its own design, it is unable to provide channels and platforms for the plurality and alternative ideas and perceptions of tens of millions of Iranians. Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that it isn't possible to...

Seriously, who cares about the domestic dynamics of American society. You really want to hold a country with a history of genocide, slavery and segregation as an example and yardstick to decades of human rights infringements of the Iranian state? When it comes to political dissent, there is no...

Shocking numbers for a historical unique storming of the Capitol, after the very same police let them gather in front of the very same building for hours. Would Iran allow protests in front of its parliament and other political bastions?

You are conveniently leaving out that the US is infested with high crime numbers and a lot of intra-gang shootings in black communities. While not condoning any unwarranted violence against its black citizens, it's therefor only logical that the police is involved in a lot of incidents taking...

Never underestimate the dynamics of life and your fortunes. The same fire burning your adversaries, could very well one day bring your own house down. One or two generations.

Indeed, Iranians know very well the propaganda spread and broadcasted by the regime. But despite all the censoring, control of media and banishing of alternative political parties and media, they know the simply truth: that they are governed by a brutal dictatorship that doesn't respect their...

And any regime that tramples on the human rights of its people will see growing anger, frustration and resistance. Now go cry to your dictator.

The guy is just a frustrated incell who desperately tries to inject some meaning in his life with his endless sermons and lectures on this forum. Now he's just mad that the mods have grown tired of his constant reporting and little feuds. Best to ignore the clown. Let him resort to pushing...

It was Herzliya. But you know them Jews, too stingy to hand out prizes...even to a great asset like myself. Who cares. People are free to quote whoever and whenever they want to. This isn't the Islamic Republic where you can shut people down.

Such a good boy! They should give you the Pakistani equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize for your great behaviour. Even counting the likes of other posts and analyzing them by their users! My man, you must really be a spectacle at parties.

Forget about his stance and religious bigotry; the moderates should just save himself and us from his endless monologues in every thread. Dude can't get laid and has way too many time on his hand to bother us with his sermons and lectures. Imagine arguing that Malcolm X, who was a great and...

Crying to daddy because you have been exposed as a hypocritical misfit who preaches religious bigotry but lives comfortably in the decadent and liberal West. Where I come from, people who report others to the authorities are honorless and loathed. You seem to fit these criteria as our resident...
