Listen, years ago I rode with Juárez against Emperor Maximilian. I lost many chickens but I thought it was worth it to be free. When Porfirio became President, I supported him – but he stole my chickens. Then came Huerta and he stole my chickens. Then it was Carranza’s term, and he stole my chickens too. Now comes Pancho Villa to liberate me and the first thing he does is steal my chickens.(…) What makes one different from the others? My chickens don’t know. All over the world revolutions come and go. Presidents rise and fall. They all stole your chickens. The only thing to change is the name of the man who takes them.

Or for a more modern version
The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace: They never are.
Reminds me of the irony that the country that turned the tide against Nazism was the country that killed, displaced, and imprisoned almost the whole indigenous population.
... Russia did that? I don't recall
Have you ever seen a map of Russia? You think a country gets that big peacefully? Look up the income disparity between the Moscow / St. P west of Russia vs the vast majority.

Considering the murder of the little Iranian girl for not wearing a headscarf, they seem to have relaxed that requirement. Still a shitty country. But the instigator is Israel and the USA right nowm
It's pretty "funny" the amount of people who imagine this as some "foreign conflict" between "two sides", when it's a direct continuation of USAian imperialism. It's not surprising that brainwashed libs are hating on an "official enemy". Libs and their politicians have supported these attacks on Iran for decades.
Is not like we have only 2 options. Their is some people organized for emancipation and against their own states in both Iran and Israel. Campism forget people in focusing on states. That a shame that somme commies took this path : "the freedom of the workers will be build by the workers themselves " - 1st international statutes
Yah, I have no dog in this fight. I just don't want to get drawn into it. I am over the ME for good. No good actors.
However, I wish my nation would welcome refugees, the innocents who are caught up in this and need refuge and asylum. So... the US sucks too for not offering it. I cared for a young woman from Iraq, a refugee, the other day. She spent 8 years in a refugee camp in Turkey (d/t Trump immigration/refugee bans) before finally coming here. She has 2 children, a worried husband and she is pretty sick now. I hope she can get the surgery she needs.
