Na the Ayatollahs I blame sha. If the regime had acquired nukes quietly like Israel did, una for no dey make noise about Iran being "allowed" to have those bombs.

As if Iran as a sovereign country should seek permission from another country before acquiring nukes. So no be your fault.
Iran regime armed Hamas , Hezbollah and Houthis with missiles, rockets and training to finally wipe Israel of the map.
Oct 7 was supposed to be joined by Hezbollah.
The Shia Ayatollahs were after being the good guys of Allah who finally got rid of Israel. That is and was their highest calling as of now. Hey rid of Israel them America.
The scary thing is that they believe they can usher in a end of the world and return of the hidden Imam if they trigger a war. They are just maniacal bloodthirsty suicidal zealots who are in power via force.

Maduro was kidnapped and "not" displayed on TV. Saddam was also "not" displayed on TV. I don't need to be a Muslim to notice your display of hypocrisy inspired by bigotry. Say factual statements, nobody is interested in your bigotry.
He was the target. He is facing criminal charges , similar to what every other prisoner gets.

A downed helicopter pilot , a Prisoner of War or a captured soldier is not to b e tortured and dragged on to TV screens.
Geneva Convention. I'd posted yesterday on the treatment of everyone during conflicts
Treatment that seem alien to Muslim combatants. Suggesting that they are not fully evolved and need to be held to a different lower standard of conduct.

Iran and it fans are truly unstable they must not be allowed to have nukes

It shows they will use it on Israel
And we can see the former supreme leader knew Iran is unstable that why he refused to build nuke

GOD bless putin God bless mother Russia
I get flak here about supporting America.
Putin should be given 20-30 years to control the land he holds after which they hold a referendum if they want to join mother Russia That way both save face and end the bloodshed, Zelensky has no chance of beating back Russia

The invasion was provoked by the liberal EU and Joe Biden desire to station NATO missiles next door to Moscow. Very stupid of them .

Right now they would throw Ukraine under the bus if the Straits of Hormuz is to remain closed. France and UK bases have been attacked by Iran, who expects them to fold up like cowards.

I'm not in the USA first.
I am for removal of a regime that has killed tens of thousands of it's own people. I draw the line there, maybe you like them because they are the west sworn enemies.
An enemy of my enemy is my friend scenario. Not to me when you massacre your domestic opponents.

If I run a country, you cannot get a visitors visa if your religion is Islam.


terrorist attacks were carried out in the USA today, but most mainstream media outlets won't spend much time on covering them

Both were carried out by migrants:

Mohamed Jalloh from Sierra Leone shot 3 people at Old Dominion University in Virginia, killing 1.

A Lebanese man carried out a vehicle ramming and shooting attack at Temple Israel synagogue, West Bloomfield, Michigan. He died in a gunfire exchange with the synagogue's security team before being able to kill anyone. - Visegrad
If I run a country I'd ban Arabic from the mosques and would demand recordings of sermons from certain preachers. The indoctrination happens in mosques, the internet is the sweetener.

China completely abandoned Iran just like Russia, they need the Arab oil since the cheap oil from Iran is gone.

But Trump is putting China in a chokehold.

The objective by Trump is to diminish China global influence.

He grabbed Vietnam from their chokehold. They were selling all their oil to China at a huge discount, around $12-16 per barrel.

Cuba is having riots over fuel, they will tilt to America eventually. The western hemisphere will be rid of China and Russia

Panama ocean ports in both sides of the canal were yanked from Chinese companies control last month too. Trump literally forced this

Iran if the regime is overthrown will be replaced by an America friendly one. Iran sells 80% of it's oil
to China at a discount .

After those two ,Trump will make a deal with Russia, bring it back to the SWIFT money transfer and global economy. Russia trading with Europe means China won't have the discounted oil.

China oppresses those in distress.

Their anti air defences in Venezuela and Iran are now worthless,will be difficult to find a buyer after US breached them effortlessly in Venezuela and Iran

Iranian drone hits Dubai Harbour Creek Tower. The tower is 265 meters 66 storeys
No casualties reported.
This is pure act of terrorism similar to 9/11.
(The twin towers fell after the hire melted the beams ).

It's thought that the IRGC have taken over and are making all decisions while maintaining the Ayatollah figurehead who may be in a coma.

For years Netanyahu kept saying the Ayatollahs are a mortal threat, many were happy they sponsored Israel enemies and dismissed Netanyahu.

Iran savages have banned indian tankers from traversing Str of Hormuz. India is accused of not doing enough or being involved when the Iranian ship was torpedoed off Sri Lanka.
You do our will ,we let you get oil .
Iran ordering their neighbors to close American bases is the height of arrogance and self importance.
All the merchant ships sailing benefit from American protection directly or indirectly.
Ayatollah brothers in crime , the Somali once made global shipping expensive from piracy at the Indian ocean.

⚡Dubai is finished': Expats say they will leave and never come back as tax-free dream is shattered by war and officials begin prosecuting people for posting videos of missiles.

Expats claim they will leave Dubai and never return as they fear for their lives and see their businesses destroyed while missiles continue to rain down over the United Arab Emirates.

Once a tax-free haven attracting influencers from across the globe and thousands of Brits seeking warm weather and crime free streets, Dubai's carefully crafted image has been shattered and residents believe it is 'finished'.
The diversification of the middle east economies was based on stability and peace.
Iran is disrupting that. The Iranians won't be allowed to hold the global economy hostage. It's only the few elites in power,the country doesn't want them.

The world holds them to lower standards.
They are sending cluster bombs to Israel with the intention of causing maximum civilian casualties. Disgusting.

When the 165 children were killed , which was definitely a regrettable mistake and oversight , they are crying the loudest. Backed by western media who are ignoring the true purpose of the cluster bomblets .
They are also targeting civilians hotels, ships, airports , condominiums etc .

Muslims are held to lower standards.

He did the usual copy and paste without ever knowing what Charlie Kirk was debating or talking about.

We discussed one point, I gave him the full context, he agreed and said if you add that to other things he said... Blah blah bla. I told him to pick another for discussion, and he ran away while calling me derogatory names.

This is the same person who would cry if a white man called him the N-word.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated while holding an outdoor Q&A.
He was taking questions from everyone and answering them. Through email, through campus "prove me wrongs", in townhalls and he was also very active on X .

NEEDLESS to say, you will fail to notice that I already robustly did so. I dont have the appetite for the sort of merry go round in which a discussant will simply claim that evidence is not evidence an demand that further proof is given. I listed many raycist statements of Kirk. He said none are raycist. I know very well that even if Kirk were to have called his parents apes he would say its not raycist. There is nothing I can do about that but leave him to his devices.
Don't chicken out. Pick out one thing he said that made him a racist.
One thing.

Geneva Convention are international treaties that form the core of international humanitarian law (IHL). Their primary purpose is to limit the barbarity of war by protecting people who are not, or are no longer, participating in hostilities.

The Four Geneva Conventions (1949)
The modern framework was established on August 12, 1949, universally ratified by 196 countries.

First Convention (Wounded and Sick on Land): Protects wounded and sick soldiers, as well as medical and religious personnel in the field. It mandates humane treatment without discrimination.
Second Convention (Wounded, Sick, and Shipwrecked at Sea): Extends the same protections from the First Convention to naval forces and shipwrecked members of the armed forces.
Third Convention (Prisoners of War): Defines the status and rights of Prisoners of War (POWs), establishing standards for their treatment, including food, medical care, and the right to communicate with family.
Fourth Convention (Civilians): Specifically protects civilians in times of war, particularly those in enemy or occupied territory. It prohibits acts like collective punishment, deportation, and torture.
Common Article 3: A vital provision shared by all four conventions that provides a "mini-convention" of fundamental humanitarian rules for non-international (civil) conflicts.

Additional Protocols

Protocol I (1977): Relates to international armed conflicts. It strengthens protections for civilians, restricts certain means of warfare (like those causing "unnecessary suffering"wink, and prohibits attacks on civilian objects like dams and nuclear plants.
Protocol II (1977): Specifically covers non-international armed conflicts (civil wars). It provides fundamental guarantees for those not fighting, such as humane treatment and the collection of the wounded.
Protocol III (2005): Adopted the Red Crystal as an additional distinctive emblem for medical and religious services. This provided a neutral alternative for nations that found the Red Cross or Red Crescent emblems religiously or politicall

Why do this now?

Do you think those female footballers are broke and can't leave Iran whenever they want?

Don't you know they get paid by FIFA for every participation in any tournament? They get paid in thousands of $$.

You're just too dvvmb to be able to differentiate the truth from lies.
Well they were called traitors or something for not singing the national anthem.
For a country that has painted American and Israel flags on entrances of govt buildings it's ironical for them to demand respect for national symbols.

The animals running Iran .

🇮🇷 Iranian women’s footballers had their passports confiscated upon arrival in Australia for the Women’s Asian Cup – officials reportedly did this to make any potential escape more difficult.

Each player was also required to provide a large financial guarantee to the Iranian government before departure and disclose the identities and locations of their family members.

The players’ phones were also taken away, and after they refused to sing the national anthem, they were banned from using the shared hotel showers or sitting in the restaurant.


The Ayatollahs are just a level below humanity.

Sorry, when Corporations are talking about meeting diversity quotas, it begs the question.

FAA mandate: Airlines must prove they don’t hire based on race or gender
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Transportation announced that all airlines must formally certify that pilot hiring is merit‑based only, after allegations that some carriers were using DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) criteria in pilot selection.

Airlines must sign statements confirming they do not consider race or sex in hiring.
Failure to comply can trigger federal investigation.
Delta publicly stated it has always hired based on qualifications and merit.


Southwest Airlines case: Accused of discriminatory DEI practices
Southwest was the subject of a federal civil‑rights complaint alleging unlawful DEI‑based hiring. The company later agreed to abandon the practices identified in the complaint.


All he was saying is, if merit is not the criterion they are following, then it is safe to wonder if the pilot is the best pilot they picked based on merit, or they picked him to meet their diversity quota.
Not sure which airline had made a target of having a certain percentage of black pilots or female pilots I'm not sure.
That's DEI

US kidnapped a whole president of Venezuela and start demanding ransom from them.
They hijack ships steal all the oil. So what are you saying?
Would your life have been at risk of you were in Caracas when the raid occured. Or if you are in Tehran , would you be afraid of losing your life from IDF and USAF bombs?
Conversely if you are in Israel or the middle east would your life be at risk from Iran bombs, drones and missiles
Iran regime is a terrorist nation. Their actions are no different from Osama bin Laden or ISIS. Using sheer terror they have ruled over Iranians, majority of whom do not want them.
They also want to spark a religious war, by saying Israel shouldn't exist. Poor Iran , the neighbours targeted love their luxurious lives more than they hate Israel.
The world generally disapproves cluster munitions as tending to a war crime when used on civilians.

Don't know whether you are happy if civilians die from Iranian attacks, I would not be surprised if you are happier when it's the Joos dying.
