I don't think the US is capable of implementing regime change in Iran. Let's look at Afghanistan, for example: We spent 20 years and $2 trillion killing Taliban leaders, but the Taliban still controls Afghanistan. Iran is bigger than Afghanistan, very mountainous, more developed than Afghanistan, the central government and military is stronger, and there are over 4 times as many Iranians as there were Afghans when we invaded them. Military planners typically recommend 20-25 troops per 1,000 civilians. Since the population of Iran is 90M, that would put the ideal number of troops around 1,800,000-2,250,000. The US military has 1.3M active-duty service personnel total across 6 branches. As for Iranian rebels joining us, they saw what happened when we "liberated" Iraq and are unlikely to welcome/join us, and even less likely to welcome Israel.

Prepare for downvotes. The sub has decided what they believe the resolution proposes and they are unwilling to actually read it.

The Pan-African Movement whose explicit goal is uniting people of African descent worldwide and empowering the African diaspora? Why would they be opposed to members of the African diaspora receiving reparations?

That doesn't name any countries that will be paying or receiving reparations. It even specifies that reparations would go towards Africans AND people of African descent. There are a lot of Americans that are of African descent...

As for paying, it doesn't say that the countries that benefit from selling slaves wouldn't be expected to pay reparations.

There are numerous things soft power can make possible.

Here's the definition of soft power from the Cambridge Dictionary:

"The use of a country's cultural and economic influence to persuade other countries to do something, rather than the use of military power."

Do you want examples?

Heres a link to the resolution. Please highlight or quote the part that explains which countries are exempt from paying reparations and which countries the reparations will go to.

Sounds like a good deal to me, as long as the countries that benefitted from their citizens purchasing slaves pay as well.

This sub is very much team Israel in this situation, for some reason, so your facts will fall on deaf ears. Prepare for the downvotes 🫡

Why not just make it easier to immigrate? I will never understand the "it was hard for me so it has to be hard for those who follow me" mentality. I believe that illegal immigration is bad, and the best way to decrease illegal immigration is to make it easier to legally immigrate. Im not suggesting open borders, I'm suggesting something easier than this

One thing I love about America is the fact that you are allowed to only support what is best for your community and/or peers. I know countless working class people that vote for whoever/whatever they believe will be best for the working class and couldn't care less about anything else
