In reply to paul.

Paul, which country do you come from? Is your government blameless?
If not then you, by your logic, share their guilt.
People are kept in the dark by their media – when it is controlled by the government. Today, we have both the government and the media controlled by the same forces and they are not on the side of the people.
Are the people still to blame? Are they still to blame when the voting system is corrupted? I could go on….

In reply to Charlotte Ruse. Optimism, such a curious think.

In reply to Pnin. I guess, it was optimistic on my part.

In reply to crispy.

Russia stopped their ‘imperialism’ some time ago, whereas the British are still at it, using the same formula. The Iranians were invited into Syria by its gov’t, so they are hardly troublemakers.
Does that cia rock you live under have an internet connection? because the facts of the matter are freely available.

Stepping away from the historical crimes against Iran, does anyone know the Iranian psyche? There have been a whole series of simply disastrous decions. Are they gullible children, do they think the west are honorable boy scouts, do they believe in fate to the point that they dont ponder decisions, what? How can the following be explained?

1. How could they leave their centrifuge computers open to viruses from the net?
2. How could they buy an off shelf cryptographic programming “from the Swiss” giving access to western intel to state decisions (is this true?)?
3. How could they choose not to defend their own, invited, troops in Syria from Israeli attacks? Being a defenseless target is bad psychology.
4. How could they claim to have proof of western involvement in ISIS creation and control, and then say they were withholding that info for strategic reasons? That only makes sense on other planets. Plus it invites the other side to attack first, say with genetically engineered and targetted biowar.
5. How could they allow a top general to waltz in and out of enemy held territory?
6. Accidents waiting to happen are stopped by accident prevention. How could they not declare a nationwide no fly zone the night of their missile “demos”?

More?

Anyone?

In reply to Objective. Nor do I normally, but I make an exception for them. They have rampaged across the planet for 7 decades, slaughtering, butchering, starving and immiserating hundreds of millions. I want to see them suffer as they have made others suffer. I celebrate the deaths of every single one of them. I would like to see them watch their children starve in front of them and die for lack of basic medicine. All of them. Nothing will change and they will never stop until this happens. If this COVID was genuine and wiped them all out, the world would be an immeasurably better place.

In reply to jakob. You're an idiot who needs to take a reading comprehension course.
