Sorry are we not still in Iraq?

The year is 1991, the US goes to war in the middle east. The year is 2002, the US goes to war in the middle east. The year is 2026, the US goes to war in the middle east.

You seem not to know history. Mossadegh wanted to nationalize the oil fields so that the people living in Iran could benefit financially from them. The CIA murdered him and then installed the Shah, for the express purpose of letting Western corporations exploit the oil fields.

This exact story line has played out in countless countries for decades. The CIA or some other group has been doing this to the third world for a loooong time. Any time any of these people try to assert themselves to fix their homelands, the CIA has them killed.

These humans are just cogs in a machine. Khomeni did alot of bad in the world but the CIA coup in 1953 is what created the conditions that lead to the 1979 revolution and the Ayatollah assuming power.

Killing Saddam Hussain didn’t fix Iraq. Killing Bin Laden didn’t fix Afghanistan. This will not fix Iran.

The US blowing shit up without careful consideration creates a cycle of violence that has been the history of the middle east for the past century. Doing this one good thing will had to a thousand bad things. The US has created all the terrorists that want to destroy it, and this situation is no different.

The problem will always be capitalism. The 1953 coup was motivated in response to the nationalizing the oil fields. As long as we are beholden to the profit concerns of rich men, these cycles of violence will persist.

Man if only there was a way to design society so that people could walk more.

I tried out Lemmy.ml for a while but then I kept getting accused of being a tankie, so I gave up. Piefed showed up in my reddit feed and feddit.online was the first one I saw.

The last time they installed a regime in Iran they created an enemy for generations.

I’m an Aleve guy

What about all the times the DNC gently massages preferable primary candidates?

They can’t kill each other without involving us. Also our stuff.

That’s funny I got through so much of the game playing flush builds.

They won’t call it World War 3 until after it’s over.

They’ve been doing that for decades.

Cool I guess it was inevitable, but I didn’t think I’d wake up to World War 3 officially starting.

How can the corporations get out of the way to stop letting corporations run the country?

China would put most of these guys to death

Why is it the collaborators with the West are always the family of rich people?

Hi from Piefed

Fair enough

Yeah but calling Zionists terrorists is so much more appropriate
