  1. You enjoy those Belgian waffles hey? Moules frittes you know what i mean.
  2. Pros and cons of Israel and Iran war Pros Maybe they can delay the nuclear program for years or decades. Maybe more freedoms through leadership change. Will the men be able to finally wear shorts? Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc. getting less weapons and support. Will take away Iran from supporting Russia against Ukraine. Cons Death and destruction. Could end in more refugee crisis in Europe which will make populists stronger. If they can’t destroy Iran they will just make them more angry and paranoid and make a nuclear attack more possible imo. Could end in a bigger conflict with who knows involved. Bibi will stay in power longer. Maybe it will make the Iranian people support their authorities, govt, regime more.
  3. Do you think the US should help Israel wage war on Iran?
  4. This is going to be the thing that brings the right and left together.
  5. I think for Business the US is better. Few days ago I overheard a conversation by a few Europeans about how they are going to the US and going to make money money baby 🤑 as making money is better in the US.
  6. Probably gaza was always a thorn for them because it’s quite nicely located at the coast. Also strategically.
  7. Because they want more land obviously.
  8. About the woman asking for the bomb. And Jeffrey Sachs thinks they don’t want the bomb.
  9. Ok i see. That makes sense.
  10. Also at 1.46 he says Iran doesn’t want a nuclear weapon. And Russians don’t want them to have a nuclear weapon. Which i think is more absolute gullible hogwash. I think they want the bomb and i don’t blame them for it. Jeffrey Sachs they said they don’t want the bomb lol
  11. At around 1h30 he talks about how the war in Syria destabilised Europe because of the refugee crisis and how “not 1 politician in Europe said, America maybe shouldn’t wage those wars because it destabilises us here” But i think i remember hearing some European politicians talk about that. How it’s Americas fault basically. But they should have talked about it more.
  12. Listening to this Jeffrey Sachs on Iran, Russia and so on. What irks me about this guy is how one sided he is though. For example he says how Putin is so pro US and pro European. When in fact i think Putin lies all the time. He is KGB and also manipulative. Whike Sachs seems to believe him everything.
  13. What i like about you is that you make same horrible threads like me. Makes me look less bad.
  14. I hope All those regimes fall together like dominoes. And then it’s world peace ☮️
  15. No shorts. That’s wild. I‘m going to wear shorts today for the Iranian men. What’s also wild is that places like Iran have one of the highest amounts of plastic surgery, nose etc. Which makes no sense, no shorts but plastic surgery? Also when i was in Istanbul saw a lot of Arab women getting nose jobs.
  16. Ok so do you think the Iranian people should be freed from the religious loonies?
  17. Ok so? I agree and the Middle East had a lot of knowledge from Rome and Greece. And where did the industrial revolution start? And look at them now.
  18. GPT Project Ajax (1953) — Overview What happened? The CIA and British intelligence orchestrated a coup to overthrow Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized the British-owned oil company (Anglo-Iranian Oil Company). Why? The West feared losing control over Iranian oil and worried Mossadegh’s government might tilt toward the Soviet Union during the Cold War. How? They used propaganda, bribed officials, organized street protests, and supported military officers to stage the coup. Result: Mossadegh was removed, and the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was reinstalled with strengthened authoritarian powers, ruling until 1979. Connection to the Ayatollahs Who are the Ayatollahs? They are high-ranking Shia Islamic clerics, spiritual leaders with significant influence in Iran. After Project Ajax: The Shah’s regime became increasingly autocratic and Western-aligned, promoting modernization but also repression. Many Iranians, especially religious conservatives and clerics, grew resentful of the Shah’s secularization, corruption, and ties to the West. Among these religious leaders was Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who emerged as a vocal critic of the Shah’s policies and Western influence. Rise of the Ayatollahs: Over the next two decades, opposition grew, blending nationalist, religious, and anti-imperialist sentiments. In 1979, this culminated in the Iranian Revolution, led by Khomeini and the clerical establishment, overthrowing the Shah and establishing the Islamic Republic of Iran. This revolution marked the rise of the Ayatollahs as political leaders, turning Iran into a theocratic state governed by Islamic law. In summary: Project Ajax removed a nationalist leader (Mossadegh) and empowered a Western-backed Shah. The Shah’s authoritarian rule and secular reforms alienated many, especially religious figures like the Ayatollahs. This set the stage for the 1979 Islamic Revolution, where the Ayatollahs, led by Khomeini, took control and reversed Iran’s Westernization, emphasizing religious governance.
  19. That’s fine i don’t care. But then don’t tell me that the middle east was western habibo, like the other guy did. I know all that stuff relax. But what about for example Iran. So there was a democratic election which tried to take the oil from companies and make it state owned or something, was regime changed by the US project ajax tonhave a puppet Shah. But then the Ayatollah came and was supported by the people. So the people there supported religious lunacy also. And if you say it’s always the wests fault. And Islamic countries and leaders and people are so weak and always victims and never the perpetrators and so easily and always manipulated. Then you just make islamic people look a bit weak and dumb imo.
  20. I heard that’s overblown. There are pictures of many women without headscarves and swimsuits etc. in Afghanistan for example. But this was just rich and upper class. Who lived "western" but not most people it wasn’t the culture. Or so i heard.
  21. Without Islam, the US and Zionists it would be maybe very kewl. fixed it for you
  22. Do you know her? She’s funny
