I would characterize them more as a burgeoning middle class from what I've seen and read. The country definitely had a better chance of modernizing under Pahlavi, who wasn't interested in a rigid Muslim society (quite the opposite), but he didn't stand a chance against CIA glowniggers at the height of their power. Once the Iran's shot at a petrodollar collapsed in 1974 (I think that's when William Simon struct a deal with Saudi Arabia) it's just been a perpetual humiliation ritual.
I like that Congress is only allowed to declare war.
This was only 10% of the country, and within that 10%, they were in Tehran. Iran was more religious under the Shah than the Ayatolla. Only Persians who left in the 80s who later became shitlibs say it was this free country where women had on bikinis 24/7 when in reality most girls had either a hijab on or dressed conservatively
Nobody has actually declared war in a long time. If Trump does air raids, it still won’t lol.
I'm not saying the women wore bikinis or that the country wasn't religious. What I'm saying is that the government was less rigid about Islam and had a better hope of integrating internationally. Even Khomeini was less interested in conflict with the United States over time and seemed interested in similar reform to what Pahlavi was after, which would have done wonders for the entire Middle East. Instead we get Saudi Arabia, who the Anglosphere could rely upon to be retarded with their newfound petrol wealth.
Makes a lot of sense if you understand Stalin, his foreign policy, and the history of the CPUSA very well. Stalinists have always appealed to nationalism, outside of their own countries, because that's what gains traction among communist parties. It also plays heavily into their popular front strategy.
None at all. Too many Zionists on both parties. The Israelis would just excuse it as an incident of friendly fire. Then everyone forgets about it and moves on.
We'd wipe them out in a day, but they'd fire nukes at us out of spite. We'd lose a few cities, at least.
If it happens, you can take it as a sign that the system is beyond broken, and you're not vooooting your way out of this. Make of that as you will.
Which sticker do I use to rate this as a fed post?
You know if Trump "has to" listen to jews, I'm glad he's listening to this one:
Miller was around in the first administration but at a much lower ranking role. I distinctly remember the kvetching.
Thank God, complaining works
fucking Jews.
its truly a wonder how Republicans support Israel despite Israel having immense LGBT rights and Jews pushing transgenderism in America
Israel must be protected.
