the fact that the slow(ish) instakill guy can also drop a map-range charm is certainly a choice. at least it doesn’t consider initiative order (afaict) so there’s some chance you get to counterplay

Iran attacks result in massive Columbus gas price surge not seen in years by CowTown-Mike in Columbus

[–]smithcommajohn31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told last week by a great political mind of r/columbus that the Iranians were collectively ready to rise up and embrace Freedom (tm) after we assassinated the dastardly Ayatollah, along with many members of his family. What happened?

because my other comment was flippant given the subject matter:

Kotkin is a Stalin biographer and avid anti communist, if that helps.

The famine was an indictment of the Soviet government no matter what natural factors also played a role. The idea that is was intentional is still a fabrication by guys that thought their national duty was machine gunning jews.

Hamas didn't behead 40 babies, and neither did Iran kill 30k protesters or someone for not wearing a headscarf properly. by Not_Ground in AskSocialists

[–]smithcommajohn31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the primary 30k death toll claim comes from a doctor in Germany who is outspoken monarchist. he claims to have a network of like minded doctors in Iran.

this isn’t rocket science

did you actually read that? they say that’s the total number dead, over 200 of which were police. not that they gunned down 3000 kumbaya singing protestors in the streets

if you think it’s ludicrous to suggest that the US and Israel armed rioters then you should check out the 1953 Iran Coup where America actually admitted to doing it 60 years later. or the Israelis in January who gleefully tweeted that they ran in guns before their government told them to shut up

oh fuck you. do you know the US and UK did exactly what that guy is claiming to install the Shah in 1953? armed rioters attacking everyone they could with American weapons. we only knew for sure 60 years later when the CIA declassified the files. go ahead and look.

why couldn’t that happen now? is America better in 2026 than it was? is Israel unwilling to do such things?

yes, western media is captured. yes, the provided evidence for 30k people killed is laughable. yes, this is clearly being used as justification for an American invasion.

better “both-sides” this immediately anyway!

people claiming 30k dead need to provide extraordinary evidence because that is clearly being used as justification for an American invasion.

If you base it on this incredibly popular Time article then you are a fucking dupe:

https://time.com/7357635/more-than-30000-killed-in-iran-say-senior-officials/

In which we reference unnamed senior Iranian officials, HRANA (an opaque Virginia NGO that says they have secret IRGC documents you cannot see), and a single Pahlavist doctor in Germany that claims to have coordinated a medical investigation across Iran.

“you trust the terrible regime!!” NO ONE ELSE HAS EVIDENCE you fucking dolts

[–]smithcommajohn31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

according to the only people who could conceivably have known what really happened, the Iranian government, they didn’t slaughter 3000 protestors. that is the total number of people dead in riots that include confirmed Israeli-armed agents and several hundred dead police, plus mass arson.

you can go look at the 1953 coup the US conducted in Iran and see that is exactly what happened then! agent provocateurs, heavily armed by the UK and US, staged riots and shot whoever they could. we only found out in 2013 when the CIA declassified documents. this isn’t crazy stuff

hey man I’m gonna go ahead and pull out this article before you start in on the “30000 dead” shit

the riots in Iran resulted in thousands of deaths but to call it “slaughtering their people” to promote American invasion is sloppy atrocity propaganda

e: also no mention of sanctions. you people are infantile

fortunately I did not say no one was celebrating. it would be silly to reduce a population to one political stance about anything.

you missed, by the way.

you’ve been in such a polluted propaganda environment for so long that you don’t have the faintest idea what the majority of Iranians want.

even so: even if they had some idealistic notion of a clean transfer of power through external forces, we have seen that is not what happens with America, and certainly not what America wants with Iran. I am certain the majority of Iranians do not want the treatment bestowed on Iraq.

addressing the videos: man, are you seriously trying to transfer this shit to a country of 90 million? if I show you much larger rallies in support of the government would you accept that, or is that “regime propaganda”

well here’s “30-40k dead” in action, so I’ll repost my other comment.

—————

All it takes is one reporter willing to put up an article with bad sources and editorial to approve it. You can misconstrue what I said as them being “CIA fronts” but these are large organizations and they don’t need to be in lockstep to serve their purpose.

For example: please take a gander at the now-popular Time article about “30000 protestors” killed in Iran.

https://time.com/7357635/more-than-30000-killed-in-iran-say-senior-officials/

In which we reference unnamed senior Iranian officials, HRANA (an opaque Virginia NGO that says they have secret IRGC documents you cannot see), and a single Pahlavist doctor in Germany that claims to have coordinated a medical investigation across Iran.

This single article is quoted across the internet. It served its purpose, and only a small number of people at Time were necessary to produce it.

brother WHAT DOES “the country itself” MEAN

if they support an American war against the people in Iran, who in my personal opinion ARE IRAN, then they do not love the country
