US wages war of sanctions against Iran

[longbrained]

In 1979 Iran had 32% more GDP per capita than South Korea, today it has 4.5 times less GDP per capita.

Thats despite many many hundreds of billions of petrodollars recieved by Iran.

That comparison is not correct. South Korea in 1979 was a different country. A country where the intelligence chief accidentally shot and killed the president and the nation put under marshal law. Besides South Korea in 1979 had a population of 39 million and today has a population of 50 million. Besides they are not under sanctions and have traded their sovereignty for economic progress, having let Americans build military bases there. Also do not forget that South Korea has a alot to thank Japanese for their boom (Flying geese paradigm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Iran on the other hand in 1979 had a population of 29 million and now has a population of 77 million. Iran is also under severe sanctions and had to endure a war and live in an unstable region where war happens after every few years. There was no Japan next to Iran. In 1979, Iran had a high GDP because of high oil prices in 70's with a low population and if you see Iran's GDP from 1960's, you see how low they were. Also I am not sure if Iranians will be able to tolerate to see their little school girls being regularly raped by US soldiers and seeing US bases in their country in return for an economic boom. Iranians want to go their own way and by their own sovereignty. In due time, Iran will surpass their current GDP per capita too as their technology level improves and their economy becomes a knowledge based one rather an oil based one. This is inevitable as Iran has already built the infrastructure and the human resources for it. That is why Israelis are so afraid that they are supporting terrorism in Iran and killing Iranian scientists.

5 minutes ago u bragged how sanctions are great to Iran, now you whine about them.

Besides its not just South Korea.

In 1979 Iran had 12% more GDP per capita than Turkey and 22% more GDP per capita than Brazil, today Turkey and Brazil have about 2 times more GDP per capita than Iran.

Mullah ruled Iran is total failure. Without hundreds of billions of oil dollars they would be like Zimbabwe.

It's also funny how u compare Iranian oil drill workers from 1920 with gas industry manager today.

Here Kansas oil workers in 1922:

GDP explains nothing. Countries like Turkey, Iran have unaccounted economy, let's say Turkey has 40% unaccounted that makes Turkey equal to South Korea considering that they have 100% accounted economy.

And GDP by purchasing Power parity is more important. South Korean pays 5 dollar per kg when buying watermelon, Iranians pay perhaps 0,5 dollar. If you produce your weapons systems, you may build an f16 at half cost.

I did not say sanctions were nothing, you fool. I argued that sanctions have made Iran more powerful and more indigenous. They have forced Iran to go local in technology terms. Turkey is a NATO member. And Brazil is a much larger country than Iran with an actual GDP per capita lower than Iran. You are outright lying here now. Using nominal values are highly misleading since the prices of all goods in a country are usually not the same as Europe or US. Specially in a country like Iran which does not have much market connection with west. We have to use GDP (PPP) to know the actual picture and as you can see Iran ranks above Brazil and just marginally below Turkey: List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iran is still growing. And if Iran was such a fail, your prime minister would not soil his pants every time he hears the name of Iran and would not go around the world literally begging world leaders to protect him from Iran.

Did Kansas oil workers worked for British masters who owned their life and oil? You are only a fool.

In 1979 Iran had 30% more GDP per capita than South Korea, now 4.5 times less, but its more powerful. And more indigenous (still 80% of Irans export is crude oil).

Specially in a country like Iran which does not have much market connection with west

North Korea has closed economy. Iran exports 80 billion dollars of oil each year. Fool someone else.

If you check Wikileaks u will see that its ur beloved Arabs who literally beg US to bomb Iran, while Israel did not give a damn.

No they did not, but still they were hardworking and dirty. Thats why its very stupid and pathetic trick to put pics of oil workers from 1920 with modern manager and say: see how its great now.
