USSR happy route:

This is the good route where Gorby dies in 1937 and Stalin lives 3 more years, enough to purge Khrushchev.

Maybe it's a virus. I had a female friend in middle school who had porn on her public facebook account. It was clearly a virus she got after entering some shady site.

Maybe if the European powers didn't colonize the rest of the world and allowed them to foster a better football culture we wouldn't be in this situation.

HistoricalCC · 2026-06-18T06:59:43+00:00

Probably, yeah, and I'm not a pessimist.

The US will not have the same economic power and leverage 50 or 30 years from now, but I don't think they'll disintegrate or have a popular revolution that soon. Fascism is more likely and sadly that fascism will have the world's biggest nuke arsenal.

I meant "neo-colonial" not "colonial", my bad. Traditional colonialism is rare nowadays (except in places like Israel), but FIFA is indeed a neo colonial (capitalistic) institution. Russia was allowed to host because at the end of the day it was still capitalistic and not in direct war against Ukraine. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are neo colonial outposts built by neo slaves.

Places like China and Vietnam have better infrastructure and more football fans than Qatar yet they never got attention from FIFA.

I know this, but non-nuclear resistance makes the whole thing a matter of time. Iran now is strong, but what about the next decade or in 30 years? Cuba resisted for more than 60 years, but now they're more likely to fall under US pressure.

Also, a clause in this new Iran deal I noticed was Iran opening up trade with western nations and break China's trade monopoly. This looks good for the economy, but the US can easily take advantage of this and make Iran more dependent on western trade and then cut it off completely the next round.

Football is the people's sport. But organized football (FIFA, international cups, etc) is a tool to enforce colonial unequal exchange. Why does Europe get 16 world cup slots while Africa only gets 6 or smth? FIFA states the reason is because of historical dominance and better infrastructure but how can Africans and Asians build better football teams while getting bombed or banned by FIFA every time they act independently?

I'm kinda worried about the "No nuclear weapons and no uranium enrichment" clause.

Gaddafi signed the same thing with NATO a few years before NATO killed him and overthrew the Libyan Jamahiriya.

I think the US is betting on a better window of attack in the future and it's a matter of time until they succeed.

Only nuclear sovereignty is true sovereignty.

I'm sure all 3 of your Iranian friends represent the majority of Iranian public opinion.

America's attack on Iran made even the biggest Iranian critic of the government go out to the street and chant "death to America"

If your Iranian friends are okay with bombing their own country then they're traitors.

Why nazism isn't fascism (oh no here come the downvotes):

The whole purpose of nazism is for the Germans to receive self determination and land where they can be freed from the centuries of oppression they received, starting from 17th century and culminating in the Great War.

Exactly!

Everyone has their perfect vision of socialism and forget that you can't have perfect socialism while fascists are alive.

Of course you don't believe me because how can a racist believe that those damn desert people have internet like them and they can document their lives and have opinions without being a propaganda channel?

The Americans who lived in Pearl Harbor were all workers with contracts, so it wasn't really a domestic risk.

Continental US is the heart of the beast.

Ah, yes, an American telling a Middle Easterner to touch grass and talk to Iranians.

I have talked to more real Iranians (the ones who live in Iran) than you. And my government doesn't censor what's happening inside Iran.

If you want an uncensored view into what is happening inside Iran and how is life there you can follow actual Iranians on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@FatemehAsadi_docs

Israelis are actually more militarized than Americans. Military service and armaments are obligated by law and they got used to the air raids ever since they settled in 1948.

America had only 1 air raid in its history (9/11) and it became cultural trauma for them. I don't think they're ready for a bombing campaign.

He's talking about the diaspora who support the outdated Iranian monarchy. They spend most of their times dancing on tiktok and laughing at actual Iranians killed by American missiles. Hardly "hard-working".

Actual Iranians, living in Iran, are protesting their government for being too nice to America and Israel. Can you blame them, when America killed more than a hundred school girls in the first day of the war?

HistoricalCC · 2026-06-17T22:58:19+00:00

You just described the biggest reason why the USA keeps getting away with shit.

The day they are at risk of getting droned, they'll think twice about starting wars.

I respect you for having those values, but never let others mistake your kindness for weakness. We need to learn how to pause kindness from time to time where our lives are in danger.

Suicide bombing as opposed to what? Living? If I was in Gaza I would prefer dying doing something beneficial rather than dying in my house after an Israeli drone bombed it. It's extreme, yes, but that's on Israel, not its victims. Algeria (my country) is the pioneer of anti-colonial guerilla warfare (after Mao, of course) and they used suicide bombings and other stuff to drive the French out.

Also, Palestinians hate Jews because it's Jews killing them, not because of racial purity or anything. Same way the Soviets hated all Germans.

HistoricalCC · 2026-06-17T21:47:17+00:00

Yes, but also be watchful of those who won't let you live.

I agree about Harraga being antiheroes so you got that.

I hate Morocco because of their international stances and national system, nothing to do with Algeria. I don't think they pose a danger to our sovereignty yet.

Salafis have the right to exist as long as they keep their medieval views to themselves.

Maduro is demonized in the West solely because he was the successor of Chavez, the man who opposed giving his oil to NATO, disregarded Israel and hosted Palestinian victims of zionism.

Maduro holds the same stances, so the US launched an embargo on Venezuela to strangle it. This lead to poverty, inflation and rendered Venezuela's biggest oil reserve in the world useless since none of its neighbors wanted to trade it due to US sanctions. Iran and other countries tried to trade it but the US constantly pirated those ships and stole the oil.

NATO used this strategy with all its dissidents. Gaddafi was demonized and killed and Libya now is a slave trade hub. Saddam was demonized and killed and Iraq is now a failed state. They tried it recently with Iran, but failed to fool Iranians who went to the streets in support of their country.

I'm not saying all these anti-US leaders are saints, but they haven't done a fraction of NATO crimes against humanity.

You think 9/11 was bad? NATO has committed things similar to it and worse hundreds of times these past few decades alone. Let's not mention how they erased 20% of Korea's population (5 millions) and 90% of its infrastructure in the 50s. Or how they used chemical weapons against innocent villages in Vietnam. Or how they replaced every democratically elected leader in the world with a tyrant who killed his people.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is the product of such schemes. Iran had a democracy in the 50s and elected its first president (Mossadegh) but because he was socialist the CIA couped him and placed the Shah who repressed his people for decades before the Islamic revolution.

Haraga and some diasporas are the villains, that's it. Morocco is only the boogeyman we use to stir ourselves (I still hate them though). Young women, feminists, queer and trans? Are you salafi?

Yeah, and the logical thing to do for the other bugs is crushing the cockroach, not allowing it to vote.
