"I rather pay higher costs in gas as long as it means we're safe!" What I hear on the daily. I'm wondering if the one's saying that lived in fear every single day since 2003? Must be a stressful life
If you don't live in one of the two biggest towers in NYC, you're probably going to be fine.
As an Iranian, I have known this war is coming for 25 years. Iran has done everything in its power to avoid it, but unfortunately it's only a real deterrence that is going to work to keep Iran safe. I'm sorry that makes your acquaintances fell unsafe.
Lmao
It has. I'm sorry that Western morons mistook Iran's patience for weakness. Now the US in particular is going to learn a hard lesson.
It is my hope that in the near future there will be a peace based on mutual respect so that we can focus on the bigger issues for humanity (climate change in particular), but Iran will never bow do genocidal, colonial slave enterprises. It hasn't done so in 7000 years and it certainly won't start now. I do believe that the USA has all of the tools to rectify its course when it comes to colonialism and genocide and I'm rooting for Americans that are trying to take back their country.
Only on Lemmy you can find these fringe losers bending all backwards for theocratic dictators just because of underdog fallacy.
I'm Iranian. I'm opposed to theocracy, and for me and millions of other Iranians that's not just a casual stance, it actually means you have to sacrifice some things. But I'll also defend my country against foreign genocidal aggressors, and I won't apologize for it.
I bet you have zero conception of what life in Iran is actually like so I don't see much point in discussing the good and bad of the Iranian government. I'll say this though: the depiction of Iran as a dictatorship is not only incorrect, it's also a major driver of the failed policies of the West in dealing with Iran. Even if Iran is your enemy, it's good to understand your enemy, and you don't.
It doesn't matter what life in Iran is - Iranian regime is straight up evil and under no circumstances to be defended in any way shape or form. Doesn't mean US isn't wrong just that two wrongs don't make a right.
How did you come to the conclusion hat the Iranian "regime" is evil?
By paying attention. You should try.
You're out of your element. This would have been an excellent opportunity for you to learn had you not been so arrogant. I've lived in Iran for several periods over the past 40 years including over 9/11 and multiple protest movements. I've kept myself informed on Iran's political history since I was a child. Paying attention is the least of it.
Iran is a lot of things, and has many grave flaws, but it is not evil in the manner that Saddam's Iraq was evil or that the United States is evil.
But go ahead and reinforce the brainwashing programming that your media has inflicted upon you. See what good it does you.
