  • There are articles about what went wrong, but mostly they weren’t even trying to “nation build”. They often supported the worst kind of monsters. Like people cheered for the taliban because they removed them, the worst kind of warlords, the USA put them back in charge.

    What does work is prosperity, education and peace. Only then can you have democracy. Israel had 70 years to help build up Palestine, they could have had like 3 TV channels with propaganda to build bridges and give them a life worth living. The terrorism would have made that very hard, but if you occupy a country that would have been the way to go.










  • This is exactly like the anti-socialist propaganda matrix. Whatever the enemy does, the imperialists will reframe it:

    Iran seeks to deescalate = loosing control of their wild extremists

    Meanwhile, Israel blatantly commits acts of war / sabotage / terrorism INSIDE Iran! Do we read anything about that in the mainstream? How about you get control over your own extremists in Israel instead of sending them billions in weapons and help them commit genocide?

    It seems a majority of the west can’t wait to bomb Iran back to the stone age and destroying another country. Instead of demanding an end to this endlessly meddling in the middle east and all around the world even the “leftists” are baying for more war. And gen z and millenials are no better than the fucking boomers. Look at what happened in Iraq and Syria, yet they can’t wait to do it all over again!

    I’m not a fan of Iran’s regime but they are rational, have good education programs and 87 million people live in Iran and deserve peace. Constantly threatening them hurts any social progress there - you cannot have democracy if people are constantly scared out of their wits. Same as sanctions hurt the middle class and democratization. And BTW Iran hasn’t attacked or invaded another country in over 200 years!
