Ayatollah says Iran triumphed in the U.S.-Israeli war and dealt a “severe blow”

you could say the same about Oregon recruiting

What about democracy in Tibet? You think leftards are interested in:

Educating our kids versus a hundred billion$ grift to funnel money to dems and indoctrinate our kids?

Reducing CO2 emissions while giving the chicoms a pass and funneling hundreds of billions to the chicoms for metals and minerals?

Ending homelessness and crime while funding sloth and refusing to punish crime

Caring about the American middle class private sector or having open borders and turning the US into the world's welfare magnet

Etc. People are to be used for an agenda rather that finding solutions that actually promote the US and their citizens.

Palis will be the Kurds of 2024/2025

Tossed on the dust pile of oppressed people passed down from generation to generation.

Nothing is really going to change with the Islamic Republic until they are folded inside out. The right wing (don't twist) theocracy there is not going away any time soon. Yeah, their nuke program has been set back (my condolences to buck and the other anti-American trash on this board), but they'll come back and be a problem in no time. Still funding terror, still pursuing nukes, still hating the US and trying to thwart its interests at every turn.

There is a liberal contingent in Iran. Not like our resident retard liberals, e.g. bucktard and the girls, but tuff classical liberals; people who can read and know the earth isn't flat. This is a pretty good piece, albeit from 2021: https://www.institutmontaigne.org/en/expressions/what-does-iran-really-want

A couple of relevant excerpts:

While the Vienna negotiations have been led by Iran’s liberals over the last eight years or so, the so-called "Endurance Front" was working to extend the Islamic Republic’s influence outside its borders, taking advantage of the increased fragility of Arab regimes grappling with domestic unrest. Whether Iran is out to implement a Grand Shia design, or crafting a defensive sectarian shield for itself amounts to one and the same.  In the aftermath of the 1979 revolution, those who were seen as advocating openness were violently purged before resurfacing under Presidents Khatami and Rohani. They are in favor of more peaceful relations with neighboring countries, which would imply abandoning the military-sectarian shield that Iran maintains throughout the region at great expense. Their vision appeared to be consistent with the population’s demands as expressed during the 2017-2018 protests. From then on, the representatives of this group within the ruling elites became an existential danger and an enemy to crush for the conservative establishment. Their influence on any major policy decision has now been all but eliminated. (emphasis added).

…

Iran’s support for the Palestinian cause and its rhetoric of an ongoing war against Israel should be read in this context. If it was up to the Iranian people, a large majority would be in favor of normalizing relations with the Jewish state. And if seen from a sectarian perspective, Jerusalem is mostly a holy site of Sunni heritage and is not central to the Shia tradition. It is true that Ayatollah Khomeini was an early champion of the Palestinian cause, but in retrospect, that stance seems to have served more as an alibi to hide the narrowly Shia nature of his project. Iran’s anti-Israeli militancy serves multiple purposes, the most important of which is to argue that the Jewish state’s military power and behavior justify Iran’s own military and nuclear program. As to Iran’s arming of the Sunni movement Hamas in Gaza, it serves to maintain an indirect presence on Israel’s southwestern flank while driving a wedge into the Sunni front of Arab countries. 

The Palis oppressed themselves. Please. Who else gets waterfront property and still manages to fuck it up? Israel let their people live in Israel, become citizens of Israel and before 10/7 had more than tripled the number of work permits issued to Gazans. Any single Arab Palestinian who wanted to live next to or in Israel was free to do so. He or she just had to agree to stop, you know, blowing up school buses and cafes. And even then, Israel would (stupidly) release them from prison only to have them turn around and keep trying to kill Jews. See, e.g., Yahya Sinwar.

Oppressed indeed. Pfft. That is the crazy af US liberal go-to line. Are you a Columbia student? If not, I recommend not using it.

I hope you are right.

Thanks, Obama.

Maybe the ongoing policy is full sanction, prop up Israel and periodically bomb the ever loving shit out of strategic targets.

I can get on board with that.

I just need a break from the Steve Bannon/Tucker Carlson "you said you more forever wars!!!!" kermit the frog handwringing girl scouts. It's unmanly and it's unrealistic. We have interests around the globe. We are going to protect our interests as long as we have a man in the White House.

God help us when the pendulum swings back hard to American Liberal Theocracy.

We have a window here with a guy in the chair who is willing to swing the dick. Let him swing.

Let me ask you this: what would you have Trump do if the Iranians started getting cute with Hormuz? I think I know what the gals would say. What would you say?

I also want to add one more thing in true triple shit poast form:

when Israel bent Hamas over in Gaza, every fucking liberal POS in the US said (after screaming "war crimes! war crimes!") that the REAL problem was Iran and that instead of pounding the poor Palis Israel should instead deal with Iran.

those same liberal POS people then screamed "war monger! war monger! another forever war! oh no! end of times!" after Israel grabbed their balls and threw the punch and then screamed it louder when Trump trumped with the bombing. fuckin' A.

after more than half a century of winning on this planet, if I have learned only one thing it is this: you simply cannot win with some people and there is no point in trying to meet them half-way. as both @UW_Doog_Bot and @RaceBannon remember, I used to be quite the centrist and I would go OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY to see things from the liberal side of things only to have it shoved back down my throat with thinly veiled and often not veiled at all accusations of racism, misogyny (well, that's mostly true, but whatever) and xenophobia. eh, some people just cannot get through their boring lives without having a perceived oppressor about which they can bitch, complain and cry.
