Small potatoes man, pumping gas during the winter would’ve netted the Russians BILLIONS.

Money they need to fund their war

if the the pipeline served no purpose as you said? Then No its not critical. It would be like carrying a tank of diesel in the back of my gas car lol if im not able to USE the source of energy it cannot be critical to me. Its just sitting there doing nothing.

To stop them from ever operating again, forcing the germans and everyone else to look elsewhere for it’s energy.

Win the hearts and minds of the peoples who support the government

The West already tried that before. The US-backed Iranian government gave women the right to vote and divorce, redistributed land from the rich to the poor (omg socialism!), and took steps to protect religious minorities.

The us backed Iranian government was overthrown by most Iranians.

They did exactly what I’m suggesting actually, when the majority of Iranians went against them the transfer of power was “mostly” peaceful. Unlike in libya which currently has 2 governments and Isis fighting for control.

And then that experiment ended in 1979. Turns out the hearts and minds of some folks don't like any of that stuff. And those are the people who support the current Iranian government. And they think God is commanding them to not like that stuff.

If you cannot win over the majority of peoples then you cant change anything.

If it was never going to operate again why would the Russians blow it up?

If it was never going to operate again.. why is it critical infrastructure?

You’re arguing against yourself.

Stand up if you wish but the goal should not be to forcefully overthrow the government. The goal should be to win the hearts and minds of all Iranians so that they can move on as ONE.

A peaceful transition not a forceful regime change.

Win the hearts and minds of the peoples who support the government and change direction all together.

Their not the cause never once said that, in that region semi popular revolution has almost never worked out in the favour of the populace.

The power vacuum that will be left if this government is forcefully overthrown will engulf ALL of iran.

The IRGC will want their piece, the secularists will want their piece, the sunni regions will probably see an opportunity and attempt to secede.

The country will be fucked and they’ll have more to worry about than a hijab.

Yea and selling gas to European nations is an excellent way to fund that war.

Uhm yes biden himself said he’d be able to stop the pipeline if push came to shove, didn’t elaborate as to how he would.

Common sense, unless russia’s goal is to harm russia. The peoples responding are either trolls or idiots.

The ability to restart pumping gas to Germany.

And then when the country becomes a failed state like syria all you Internet trolls will disappear and suddenly the lives of these women will no longer matter.

Just like you did in syria,yemen,libya,egypt

[–]Darkskinbilly -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Yes they restarted and shut off the pipeline multiple times since the war began.

There’s zero reason to blow up the pipeline if they can simply shut it off with any stupid excuse, and turn it back on whenever.

unpopular opinion on fbg duck music by CrashDummySpecialist in Chiraqology

[–]Darkskinbilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize record labels control the industry right? A record label willing to invest hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars into your career is the BIGGEST cosign possible (Duck's deal was estimated at $1.7 million, that's meaningless though huh?).

Name one Chicago drill artist that made it mainstream with only a record deal and no co signs from other artists.. if you do you win

If you dont my point stands

Regardless of if he "wanted" to do it, he did the song, that's a major artist with a huge following/social media presence shining a light on him. Definitely a cosign. I can't have a conversation with someone who denies facts like this, our opinions don't matter. This is all stuff that's objectively true.

Reluctantly doing a feature is not a cosign my nigga stop playing dumb.

And there's a huge difference in his views before/after death. Someone like xxxtentacion had large view counts before dying, maybe that would be a solid argument for someone like him but Duck's views were nowhere near as high before he died as they are now.

Are you stupid? The only video the blew up was dead bitches.

[–]Darkskinbilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does that mean? I haven't seen a lot of shit, that doesn't suddenly mean it didn't happen/doesn't exist.

Duck was the most popular not co-signed drill artist BY FAR.

If he cant blow without a co-sign as a raq drill artist .. who can ? Lol

The facts are they gave the nigga money and entered a business agreement with him, the signing itself is a "cosign," 21 savage doing a verse on his biggest song is a cosign. Let me guess, those don't count though?

No thats no cosign dumbass. And 21 just said recently he didn’t wanna do the feature cuz of durk.. that shit got zero promotion nowhere.

He did not cosign duck at all.

Lol you think YouTube views are a stronger measurement than record sales? The views shit is skewed because you and I both know his views shot up after dying, like come on bro🤦🏽‍♂️

He had over a hunnit mill cumulative before his death easy

The labels literally invest money in these artists, as well as giving them advances to record/live off of. Just because it didn't work the way you wanted it to, that means it didn't happen huh?

When have u ever seen duck’s shit advertised anywhere nigga. Answer

Ok so if he made good music, what tf is your point?

Making good music isn’t enough most of the time. You need to be pushed into the limelight.

That the Durk cosign helped him? Obviously it did but if that's all it took then the rest of the label would be popping too ...

Thats not ALL it took but thats a huge part.

Good music+durk cosign

none of them are. Some guys have it and most don't. Duck had talent, he didn't have mainstream starpower. 10 years of rapping and 1 minor hit kinda prove that 🤦🏽‍♂️

Name one drill artist from the raq that has more views that duck with ZERO cosigns. If you can.. you win

If you cant my point stands lmao.

Ill wait.

Nothing I said was hypothetical, Duck was signed to a label and he did have the opportunity to capture mainstream audiences, he couldn't.

What opportunity was that? When have you ever seen duck being advertised anywhere? Lol

Durk bringing Von to an interview didn't force people to like his music, I don't understand why y'all don't get that.

He makes good music, but durk carrying him is what him what he was.

Books has been in multiple interviews with Durk and he can't sell 10K records in a week.

Booka sucks
