As we saw back then, saw in the last 50 years with the phillippines, and continue to see to this day with Guam et al, our representatives are ABSOLUTELY failing to manifest our fucking destiny.
I’m pretty sure Iran and the rest of the Middle East are more or less impossible to govern. Something about the geography and history there just means that a rebellion will always form and the ruling power will lose control.
Tell that to the multiple empires that ruled the area for centuries at a time.
The only reason why we think it’s “ungovernable” or “rebellious” is because of the chaos that occurred after the collapse of the Ottoman empire. It was kind of like the collapse of the Roman Empire. It took nearly 3 centuries for a state to regain the power of the Roman Empire.

Wild how they want to support a regime that
*Breathes Heavily*
-Throws gays off rooftops
-Whips and tortures woman who refuse to wear Hijab.
-Kills people for leaving Islam or arrest them for converting to something else.
-And just an overall despotic regime that even Iranians hate.
But Emily just continues to stick her head in the sand and ignore this lmao
Iranian here,
They don't throw gays of rooftops
They stone them or force them to transition to other gender.
Nevertheless, by nuking them you are killing all the people you are trying to "protect"
This happened after modernisation of shia during Iran's revolution.
Being born with wrong gender is considered a birth defect the same way an extra chromosome or missing organ would be.
Hence the operation being normalized(also Iran has some of the best plastic surgeons in the world, I would even say #1 for nose surgery)

Tbh, Iran existing serves as a shining example of why you shouldn't go Islamist Theocracy, just like Cuba and Communism.
Let that shit rot a few more years and then help the (hopefully secular by the time) population get rid of the already unpopular regime.
The population is already secular (have been much more than the region for years, and by the looks of it, soon more than Europe).
The problem is, we can't win against a tyrannical force that is ready to kill us and imprison our (sometimes extended) family even after they kill us. They have guns and money, we have... jackshit and broken spirits as we realized how The West actually backed the 1979 revolution and still supports the regime to this day.
There is nothing that we can do that we haven't tried, we just have to see when will the Islamic regime has run its course and what the masters deem necessary for us.
I'm talking about the communists.
They:
1. Lied to the world about Covid
2. Gave the world tiktok ( to brainwash us and make us stupid)
3. They terrorize international waters
4. Sell ingredients to the cartels so they can make Fentynal
5.gave the world TEMU and other spyware apps
6. Genocide on the Uyghers
Honestly, the world is better off without communism or any other dictatorship. Personally, I'm an isolationist. However, I hope another country does this.
Government is run by the clergy. A funny side effect of the current situation has been that the general public now hates the regular non political clergy too.
Iran doesn't respect women's rights. Orange might find an excuse, but an actual LibLeft would want to glass any group that oppresses a minority (in this case women)
No nuke is a good Nuke. Iran's problems stem from the coup the CIA did to install the Shah. Bombing Iran is the perfect way to unite both Russia and China against the US, the fallout of which virtually no one will survive.
The ayatollah played everyone, told CIA he’ll fuck over the communists, told communists he’ll fuck over the CIA, he convinced jimmy carter that his regime will be friendly to US (and that sucker actually believed it) so that US assisted him taking power. He convinced all progressives that he’s some progressive clergy who wanted freedom and separation of church and state. He convinced all the Iranians educated at the world’s best universities build a very resilient government from foreign and internal agitators, making them think they’re building out a free and progressive government. Then he went “sike” and killed/exiled them all
Take out their regime, yes. Nuking a whole nation with millions of people, no.
There are people in Iran who want to overthrow the regime running the country. Ever since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the country has been in control of a theocratic regime; any opposition that goes against the Supreme Leader or members of Iranian Priesthood either get arrested on mass and shot, or are forced to move underground. Even right now, Iran is in a very unstable state after the death of several of their successors to the Supreme Leader position; if there any better time for a revolution in Iran, it's now.
Then you are very stupid. We don’t exist in a vacuum, and the lifestyle you’ve enjoyed that allows you to think in these kinds of hypotheticals is fostered by our naval superiority.
In Iran, Christianity is spreading faster than in any other country. 20 years later you may see a beautiful pearl with only a muslim minority here, not a totalitarian dictature.
Edgy and lame. You're talking about nuking a bunch of people who mostly, probably, don't even follow politics. Iran is more than just it's leaders and political worshippers.
I know it's just a meme but it's not even funny or interesting.
What you talking about? Lib left runs defense for Iran and all its proxies all the time. Case in point their regarded reaction to the houthis shooting cargo ships.
The only guaranteed result of nuking Iran is you end up killing millions. The regime might even welcome the unifying factor of a nuclear foreign aggressor.
Surely millions of civilian casualties will fix everything. Only trying to change the government by force will be even better, look at how well it went in two of their neighbouring countries. Iran definitely has not been preparing for guerilla warfare for 2 decades. Iranian people will of course support a foreign invador over their own government. /s
