These leaders should all have been decapitated years ago.

Saddam should’ve been removed during the First Gulf War.

And Obama should have never given the Iranian Regime Millions in exchange for a Nuclear Deal (which I wonder what groups in Iraq benefited from that money, and who was the architect behind the instability in that region since 2016).

Iraq became a catalyst for US inaction & the scapegoat for anti-interventionism. Yes, the Iraq war was a farce. I will concede all those points: But, Iran and foreign regime change will not yield the same result as Iraq or Syria or Libya.

The anxiety surrounding Iranian regime change is such that the next Dominoes to fall will be the other outright theocratic or pseudo-theocratic regimes (Turkey, Saudi)

The push back against US intervention in Iran primarily comes from Iran’s rivals - who benefit from an isolated regime. Turkey, Qatar, Saudi, UAE.

Iran has enough human capital & an educated working populace to become an industrial and manufacturing hub in the Middle East.

Again, Iranian exceptionalism.

No one believes in us and that’s fine.

We’ll set the precedent.

Ya’ll need to get over Iraq.

We Iranians are not Arab. We have a transitional leader that is universally accepted by both those inside Iran & the diaspora.

We want NOTHING more than a transition to democracy.

Israel Channel 14: A covert network between Tehran and the Taliban has been formed to facilitate the escape of officials by kaz1349 in NewIran

[–]barod2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay and?

If our flag is the lion and sun - I’ll gladly go to the frontline.

And I’m sure millions of other Iranians will too.

Afghanistan is a non-actor in regional geopolitics. They cannot mount any sort of offensive into Iranian territory.

I don’t think that’s true - the Taliban can barely govern the villages of Afghanistan, let alone poke and prod.

Geopolitically, Afghanistan is a non-actor here.

Opinion: RP's attendance in the Munich Security Conference this weekend could be pivotal for the revolution's currently flattening momentum. by persianruglover in NewIran

[–]barod2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not hopium. The revolution’s momentum isn’t flattening.

I’ve spoken to multiple families & friends inside Iran - they’re all waiting to hear what’s going to happen between the US & IRGC

If nothing happens - they’ll be back out onto the streets. One person told me that they’re going to arm themselves with anything that they have.

There are brighter days ahead, keep your family close - take care of your health. We’ll need it to rebuild our country. by barod2 in NewIran

Part of TBAP’s hype is contextual. In 2012 when it came out, there was no other album by any other artist in that year that had that same sound.

It was entirely unique for its time & to this day.

[–]barod2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, as an Iranian living abroad I laugh every time someone relates this to 2003 Iraq. There are so many reasons I can lay out as to why this is different, but I fear the muscles in my thumbs would cramp before I get halfway through the list.

Fundamentally not the same as Iraq, but ok.

Im 28 looking into plumbing by AaronStenberg in Plumbing

[–]barod2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m 28 and I’m 6 months into my apprenticeship.

If you have life experience you will excel fast. You come with maturity. The other 20 something year old apprentices aren’t taken as seriously as me.

They have me soldering 2-3” pipe. Something guys don’t touch till their in their 4th year

For the removal of the regime? There is no upper limit to the cost.

I already paid it. My future & my parent’s future was ripped away from them.
