Iranian women in the streets: We want an atomic bomb!

Bad news bro, I saw some advertising copy for a private intelligence contractor specializing in social media, and Mastodon was in it. Trust me. They are here

So you just disregarded the points I made? Ok. Well just to quickly compare. History of a country, even as uninformed as the one you presented, has no bearing on the argument here. China is now consistenly outpacing essentially rest of the world for idk 30 years? It overtook US as largest economy, and is growing far faster. Theyve lifted hundreds of millions out of extreme poverty, without precedent. But again this is irrelevant to their position on iran.

As for russia, ukraine is receiving aid yes? And if we are to compare population sizes for some unexplained reason ok for the sake of it lets do that. Us did not manage to beat afghans taliban, these used to be literally armed goat herders, unlike trained ukrainian soldiers, western mercenaries and massive aid of the west.

Now to actually get to the topic there are bilateral talks and russia holds significant territory, those are just observations. No need to try to predict based on some emotional dogma. But if things are to continue as they are now, significant territory remains ceded.

Again for some reason china which is invested in iran is not relevant. As for russia it has considerable territory in ukraine. Maybe that will change, but note that unlike before, bilateral talks are happenning.

Pure idealism

Yeah they only managed to keep him in charge for over a decade. And china? Also why are you confusing military power with some unspecified peoples claims? You are not inflating 'things' when you assume that ukraine will beat russia?

Iran is a BRICS member and both china and russia are invested in Iran. I dont think that this will be so easy. It will be interesting to see if US gets involved, since it almost never wants to directly fight against a decent enemy all since Vietnam.

Hmm, I didn't know lemmy had Mossad infiltrators.

I highly doubt anything will ever bring it peace

The death of the imperialist Great and Little Satans would go a long way toward bringing peace.

The Persian empire was pretty big, until Alexander the Great (Greece) kicked their asses. This area has had empires rise and fall for millennia. Iran was the dominant power (and sometime colonizer) western Asia for 12 centuries.

I highly doubt anything will ever bring it peace, it's the middle east, nuclear proliferation is a terrible idea. And that goes for anyone, any country.

Israel likely agrees. Not like that though.

Anybody who wants peace and justice wants iranians to be able to defend themselves from centuries of endless imperial attacks. There will never be peace or progress if only the genocidal fascists are armed. They already have nukes and their explicit goal is invading and stealing every neighboring country.

It seems fair since we let Israel have nukes.

Every individual in Iran should get one nuke as a treat

MAD is only a detergent if everyone has Nuclear bombs.

If the US and west get to keep their bombs, despite being the US being the only country to have ever used one, then everyone should be able to have nuclear bombs.

The thing is, the US and west don't actually want to prevent nuclear weapons from being used, they specifically want to prevent them being used against them and their allies, while maintaining the threat of using them against their enemies.
