LordAdam16:
nah, i'm just a persophile

and as every persophile is aware, iran has a very dark history
so the deaths of khamenei i, his generals, and scientists feel like a gut punch
adds to a list that extends to infinity

from the decline of the achaemenids (one of the best dynasties in the region after the dynasties of the old and middle kingdoms of egypt)
to the decline of zoroastrianism (easily my fave middle eastern religion)
to the loss of historical persian lands to the ottomans and russians
to the shia heritage, the tragedy of karbala, the assassinations of the eleven imams
and the many brutal interceding wars with rivals that led to the sacking of cities, deaths of shahanshahs, princes, generals, and what not

persian history is a revolving door of tragedies
and they need to be a stabilizing force if multipolarism is to take root
nukes will provide a level of calm that's alien to persian history, and it is stupefying that they would not take that leap

-Lord

I get your association now.
Perhaps stability is now alien to Persia, as it can be argued that tragedy is now an integral part of their genetic make-up.
Only intentional and deliberate strategies can deliver the stabilisation she needs and also set in motion firmly the wheels of multi-polrarism.
Unfortunately, with the reformists in government deliberate strategy to deliver stabilisation is beyond them.
They'd rather cozy up to West, have Persia violated mercilessly, then turn around and sell that as rapprochement and it's dividends.
When a people needs deliverance, they get sent leaders who are, first-and-foremost, lovers of their own people; when they need dismembering they get sent treacherous leaders in the mould of Araghchi, Ghalibaf and Pezeshkian!
God punish those three musketeers who are hellbent on trading the gains Persia secured via a bloody war for peanuts that are now being withheld from them as well!
Useless human beings!

LordAdam16:
i think the assassination of khamenei i is the biggest strategic blunder in the short history of isn'treal

iran, under khamenei i, had grown soft since the 2000s
the crucible of this is that even after all the assassinations and attacks of the 12d war and prior, khamenei i was willing to offer very steep nuclear concessions without any noteworthy benefit to avoid the 40d war

his martyrdom awoke the civilization
there is no line these evil c888s will not cross
post-khamenei i iran is a very different iran that will have very different permutations with likeminded folks and frenemies in the region

this current crop of neoliberal ingr8s in the government is not representative of the mood of the country
iran has not even started cooking
the genocidal ghouls should ask saddam

-Lord

LordAdam16, are you Iranian?

I've been wanting to ask you this question since you declared yesterday that you were "somber" this funeral period.

Or you have any deeply personal relationship with the Iranians, possibly a wife or something?

Unlike other regions on earth, you seem emotionally connected with Iran and/or the entire Levant, perhaps you're Shia.

I know some foreigners contribute their quota here and it's quite enlightening.

We had an Indian back then who gave his own candid opinion of what transpired during the brief Pakistan-India war, different than the stories we read on mainstream media.

It's refreshing to have other nationals come here and give their candid take on events in their own locality.

To all Iranian supporters here and supporters of multi-polrarism and anti-imperialism, I say condolences on the death of the Supreme Leader.

He was a man; he died not bowing before a fellow man!
He lived on his own terms, above all he loved his Persia!
Those are virtues we can all learn from and imbibe!
History will be kind to him.
Adieu, Sayyid Ali Husayni Khamenei!
You will be sorely missed!

LordAdam16:
without ambiguity, the mou is good for iran, the axis, and the global south

my skepticism and criticism have always been directed at the timing
the difference between vietnam/afghanistan and minsk i and ii is timing
vietnam/afghanistan/minsk i and ii are all excellent
but while vietnam has been holding for forty years and afghanistan is iron clad
minsk i and ii were broken within years

as such, the question for iran and every other global south country when dealing with the hegemony
is do i have a vietnam like agreement or a minsk type agreement

---

i will be sharing more thoughts on elements of the mou and related developments
in the coming days

a lot is happening that can't be condensed in one comment

a word of prayer for the more than 10,000 souls who have perished in these avoidable wars
this victory is for them
may their ultimate sacrifices not be in vain

-Lord

Amen to your prayers!
I'll be waiting patiently for your thoughts on this MOU.
Thank you!

LordAdam16,
In your usual brutal candor, what do you make of this, presuming these texts are in fact the exact wordings Iran and the US will sign and seal.
How does it benefit the ordinary people of Iran, the IRGC (who, I must say here, have shown that they are more than a match for any adversary), the conservatives, the reformists, the hardliners and the Supreme Leader?
How has it elevated Iran in the comity of nations?
How can the Global South leverage and take advantage of this momentum?
What lessons are there to learn for us all, especially for those of us who do really care about the absolute sovereignty of nations and are just as eager to get these bloodsucking parasites, called the West, off our backs and reclaim our lands and it's resources from their deadly iron-fist grip?

Russia should save us all the trouble and quit this charade called "SMO".

Since they do not have red lines to enforce against the other side, the best tactics should be return aura with more aura by taking out the regime in Kiev.

Putin is fighting a war with his soldiers' hands tied behind their backs because he wants to be seen as righteous and not as vile as the US.

Whether he likes it or not, the West have sold themselves to the rest of humanity as the "good guys" and the Russians/Chinese as the "bad guys". It's a toga they'd wear whether its who they are inherently matters not as what matters is how their image has been bastardized by the demonic Western media.

The US fought Iraq and destroyed it, including their ally in Saddam Hussein!
Gaddafi was seen as an ally too but he took was killed like a mere church rat - no hard feelings!

The monarchs in the ME are all on the US side not out of choice; they know firsthand what it means to stay out of line.

If the US chooses to bomb Cuba today, they'd level the place and destroy everything/everyone in their path - past, present, future.
The MFA in Moscow/Beijing spokespersons would issue "strongly worded statements" and that would be it - nothing anyone would do about it.

The US won't even dignify such condemnation with a response! So, why this nonsense Putin is putting up with in Ukraine?

You don't choose to go to war to prevent NATO from camping on your border and then you pretend you're fighting according to some code of honour!

I tire for Putin and him SMO abeg!

Since the school was bombed and Russian kids killed, I did not expect zelensky to still be alive. Remove the guy, and send him somewhere after here to be judged for his misdemeanors, install an ally/puppet/vassal in Kiev and go home!

No one would cough!

The US would only rally Israel to protest at the UNSC and issue a statement of condemnation and that would be it!

Putin is fighting like he's got some factory in China where Russian men of military grade are manufactured and it's all automated!
So he doesn't care if they die in their numbers or not.

You're losing men, Putin!

War is coming to Europe.

You'd need your men!

Why waste them in one useless war over your border when you've got oreshniks and co.

Go on in unhinged and allow the weapons live up to their reputation so London, Berlin, Paris & Brussels would take notice and dial down on their rhetorics!

You're making them believe the weapons are just hyped-up systems lacking substances.

Or, you yourselves have been seduced by their names - ORESHNIK, Iskander, SARMAT, The White Swan, etc, so the mere mention of the names and y'all begin to uncontrollably orgasm to the sound!

Either those or you guys are is just unserious human beings, which would mean that it's been more than 4 years of wasting everyone's time!

And that would be some shame!

⚡US, Philippines deploy anti-ship missile system in Batanes near Taiwan for war games.

Philippine and U.S. forces on Saturday showcased the NMESIS anti-ship missile system in Batanes province, near Taiwan, during annual war games, as ​tensions simmer over the self-governed island that China views as its own territory.

The Philippines' northernmost province, with about 20,000 residents, sits around 100 ‌miles south of Taiwan, along the Luzon Strait, a strategic corridor on the frontline of the great power competition between the U.S. and China for dominance in the Asia-Pacific region.

Small yansh dey shake.

This twerking on America's fully erect gbola has only one outcome. If in doubt, they can ask Ukraine.
As usual the Yankees are looking for proxies who love to die for and on their behalf.

She should be made to face the consequences of her mischievous deeds in the Pacific and all around the world ALONE!

He's hoping they'd be mad enough to come to his backyard to attack him.
He's still not noticed that he's already under attack on all sides - Russia, Venezuela, Congo DRC, Iran. And that since the attacks have been largely successful for the time being, there isn't the urgent need to take the fight closer to his home where he is comfortable providing a response.

We're here.
We will see how this "long term" plan of theirs comes into fruition.

Perhaps we quit the panda label and brand them ostriches, for exhibiting characteristics akin to that of an ostrich!

Iran has zero business with negotiations, including the last one in Islamabad.
What the "mightiest military in the history of mankind" couldn't achieve on the battlefield they want through negotiations.
Everyone knows this.
Well, everyone except the guys who are treacherously committed to sabotaging Iran's gains on the battlefield instead of seeking to MAXIMISE those gains both on and off the theatre.
Let's unpause this fake truce and have the IRGC deal a fatal blow to USRAEL!
Then, if they have the sense, come for the reformist and hasten their appointment with the afterlife!

⚡ JUST IN: Iran has declined to participate in the second round of negotiations with the US, according to Iranian state media.

the reformist politicos would not have struck the us installations and interests in the gulf countries

earlier in the war when pezeshkian was apologizing and suggesting the attacks on gulf countries will stop
the irgc had to hurriedly push for mojtaba to be installed

now that the politicos control the negotiation process
they are doing their damn best to cripple iran from within
and then later they'll feign surprise about the outcome or be adamant that their very deliberate acts of treason were their only choice

the reformists are co-conspirators in the slow-burn death of the republic

-Lord

Can't the IRGC just round up the politicos and do Iran and all of us clamoring for a free Global South a huge favour by speeding up their appointment with the afterlife promptly?
And then take over the whole politics just like we have in Burkina Faso?

Why the tantrums?
You won the war, according to you, just take your victory and go plaster over your badly decimated political career.
Even a kid would be charged to be civil when the occasion demands.
I used to admire him a lot especially after reading Trump: The Art of the Deal and Why We Want You To be Rich (co-authored by Robert Kiyosaki, an author whose books armed me with knowledge as I was just stepping into the business world then).
This iteration of him is virtually unrecognisable or is it?
I read those books about 16yrs ago. But I now have a different worldview and better understanding of the world and how it functions, could it be his presidency has stripped him bare and made us reckon with the man himself without all the makeups and image-laundering facade?
I think I now know better!
Epele, Trump.
You're just another white supremacists who feels entitled to the earth and all that therein is, who is so used to getting what he wants and is now shell-shocked by having to deal with a third party who quietly whispers a "no" to your demands.

I'm happy for Iran but they MUST improve if they want to survive. There's no room for complacency.

They're not fighting against Iraq or Syria, they're fighting against highly sophisticated, dangerous and powerful enemies. There's always a need for improvement.

No be lie, everything you post here.

Iran will fight according to her strengths - and boy is she giving us a blast.

They're facing, not one, but two of the most formidable militaries in the modern era.
But she has adapted to her strengths and has fought gallantly so far.

Me and you dey this Iran Whatsapp Group even if na LordAdam16 be our Admin for the group.

All I'm saying is, if there's need to call out incompetence or a lackadaisical approach to anything they might be failing at, do that within the context of what they've been through since 1979 and how they've been coping.

I said what I said earlier because you did refer to them as being "primitive" for them not having night vision equipment.

LordAdam16 clarified that and appropriately linked such failures to the consequences of being heavily sanctioned for 40+ years. Naturally they'd fail at some things because they'd have to get their priorities right.
Economists call it opportunity cost.

They have carried themselves well so far, so when you want to criticize do so at will but never discard where they have been and are coming from. Only then would you be able to truly appreciate how far they've come.

Sanctions is not the reason. North Korea is also under sanction.

Please cut Iran some slack.
You and dvkot never gave Iran any modicum of a chance in this war.

You've always pinned Iran's survival of any war with USRAEL on her ability to acquire nukes. Now Iran is performing more than anyone here could've imagined and you still want to pick holes in their execution.

They can't and won't get everything right.

Even the mighty US + NATO can get everything right all the time.

Iran has lived under sanctions for 5 decades.
You do not know what living under sanctions look like.

They deserve our commendations as they've earned it.

They're also fast learners and would fix whatever shortcoming they've experienced as this war progresses to the more defining stages with the imminent invasion.

If Iran survives that - you're sure USRAEL would throw the proverbial kitchen sink at her - then that heralds the dawn of a whole new era in geopolitics and world affairs.

We're here cheering for her because victory for Iran would embolden other states in the Global South to stand their ground against the oppressive rules of the Hegemony.

I want to be here shouting, "Babylon has fallen...", when the moment USRAEL is soundly defeated arrives.

This is to the chagrin of those who wished her swift capitulation.
