In regards to your last point Reparations is a joke and firmly against it on every level especially towards AA community. Societies since the dawn of man have been massacred and pillaged by the victor.Reparations are slippery slope towards an apologist defeatist nation. Furthermore, in case of Iran today if it’s people were to receive reparations who today has connections to those massacred over a 100 years ago? You aren’t fixing a wrong you are just throwing money ambiguously and hoping it makes the problem go away.
A Muslim should never embrace social darwinism ie the law of the strongest with blanket acceptance. Nor the moral relativism that comes with it. Monotheism and Islam in general, Shia Islam in particular are all about (social) justice. We should never become fatalist towards the regrettable fact that victors have throughout history committed injustice and oppression. Hence this cannot serve as a justification for anyone's policies.
As for reparations, well, they are in fact a common feature of both civil and international law. I'm not convinced that in and by themselves they will demotivate their recipients. Here the example of the zionists is telling once again. There are not many political entities as combative and domineering as them, yet they also top the list of those requesting and obtaining reparations, don't they?
However when I argued that Iran should ask the UK for reparations, I didn't have in mind the financial gain at all but rather the principle itself. I see it more as a political tool than a concrete objective.
A huge crime was perpetrated against the Iranian nation in modern times - I do think contemporary Iranians can realistically and legitimately feel a relatively close connection to the generation of their grand-parents (grand-grand-parents at most). Justice wasn't served and the regime and oligarchy responsible for this crime is still plotting to cause further harm to the Iranian people. And this actually sets Iranians apart from the zionist regime which continues to receive reparations after 75 years despite the fact that Jewish people are no longer threatened by the countries responsible for the persecutions they suffered during WW2.
Therefore, I believe Iran can't afford to ignore the WW1 genocide and act as if nothing happened. Especially because political passivity on this matter is not without effect on the image of the UK in the minds of contemporary Iranians. Considering the power of the enemy's propaganda apparatus, some segments of the Iranian population have been brainwashed to the point of imagining that their existential foes wish them well - and this in turn is dangerous. A proper memorial policy by the Islamic Republic with regards to the WW1 genocide of Iranians at the hands of the British empire will go a long way countering and neutralizing this propaganda. Here I'm not so much concerned about the past per se but about the present and the future.
Iran will be able to stay indifferent towards financial reparations once the UK regime ditches its deep hostility against the Iranian nation. Until then, this should be used as a diplomatic instrument against London. But in line with what I suggested in my previous comment, much more important than requests for reparations are things such as properly informing the Iranian public about what occurred, building memorials, encouraging research and discussions on the matter and so on. This is not centered on reparations at all.
The reason blacks are having trouble receiving reparations today is because no African nation on the planet is powerful enough to impact the white led Zionist order. It would be a whole different story if the superpower in today’s society was Kenya or Sudan. Rules would be a lot different.
This is true. Power does play a decisive role. But with power should come responsibility and it should never be a final goal onto itself. It should never overshadow moral precepts. If Kenya or Sudan were to be the superpowers of tomorrow, and if they behaved in a similar fashion as current imperial powers, then those at the helm of these states will also have to answer for their actions sooner or later - if not in this world, then in the afterlife.
Even China who has immense power on global stage hasn’t collected their dues from Colonialism and Japanese invasions. Tho one could argue serving as the West’s economic production factory is a gift beyond anything reparations could have done for China.
Look at political discourse in China: repairing the injustice committed by western imperialists during what is known as the century of humiliation is a constant and recurrent theme impacting the minds and driving the actions of Chinese decision makers, at least to some extent.
Even more than western investments which helped kick start China's economic development, surpassing the US in terms of power will be what will make the west and Japan get their dues in the eyes of the Chinese.
Lastly, the world is dominated by the White man and colonial powers led by Zionist deep states. Thus the court of law where right and wrong are decided in their favor. Iran dominated the world for 2000+ years and had this power, various countries at various times held this power (judge, jury, executioner status).
While today countries have to be more PR image friendly and talk in “norms” that should be followed and respected....underneath that fake skin is still the same powers that have blood on their hands of millions of “brown” people and “yellow” people. Push comes to shove and they will do it again if it means defending their way of life.
Yes, however history has not ended. And the first precondition for a change of status quo is realizing how it is not permanent and how it must be challenged for the sake of Haqq, no matter how desperate the odds. I would add that the main issue with this imperial political order is not the racial background of those who control it, but its oppressive and tyrannical nature. We say no to the Ahrimans and Yazids of our time. To this effect, we will fight, fight and never give up.
. I know they fire 2:1. If you remember an older video of the PAC missile malfunctioning, their were nearly 5 interceptors used to attack 1 incoming RV. My point of that post is simply the smaller target and terminal speed increase of a separable RV is pumping this ratio of 2:1 much higher for the reasons you stated above. They are performing well against low range/speed missiles, and as you mentioned basic Scud class missiles.
