davelTrump says he mulls 'winding down' the Iran war, even as more Marines head to Mideast
N0t_5ureI hate saying this. And I want to state I’m uneducated on Irans ideologies and culture, but Iran looks like boss right now. And America’s culture is pretty shitty in terms of how the abuse of it basically became its draw for evil people to utilize.
In short: Iran’s government sucks and probably deserves it, but a large portion of the citizens are highly anti-government and generally innocent and peaceful. The supporters of the Islamic state are basically just their MAGA cult. If anyone has a more enlightened view, let me hear it

Not to imply that Iran’s government is utopian, but everything you know about it came from imperial core states, corporate media, and NGOs (which are funded by corporations), and the imperial core has wanted regime change in Iran ever since their comprador government was booted from Iran in 1979. Not as large a portion of Iranians are anti-government as we’re told, and almost none want to get bombed and then have their current government replaced with another comprador one like before.
The mafia comparison is actually spot on, that’s what we have the IMF for. “Nice country you have there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it. Why don’t you take out some exorbitant loans with my friend here, slash your social services and open your resources to corporate pillaging to pay for them, and I’ll park this aircraft carrier nearby to keep an eye out, make sure nothing unfortunate happens to you.”
