Nukes won't stop anything if they come for you.
The only difference is that if you have nukes, they won't attack you directly but you will go down internally. Afterall, you won't nuke your own people, nukes are for external aggressors.
Imagine a country with thousand of starlinks, weapons and rioters start killing, protesting to end your regime while the international news is blasting it loud 24/7 of how you are attacking and killing your own people.
USSR collapsed within despite having nukes.
Constant Insurgency, long years of sanctions will at the long run weaken a country and make the citizens restless, disgruntled and start sabotaging the country.
They are reading and seeing what their mates are enjoying in unsanctioned countries and here they are, mostly jobless or heavily under paid, low infrastructures and next to nothing future. So a political class that is enjoying - looting the small billions on ground while constantly telling the disgruntled youths to keep enduring will be a breeding ground for spies, saboteurs and an impending internal collapse.
That is what happened to Venezuela, Syria, currently happening to Iran and they are already priming Russia and China for this faith also.
For a start, i doubt they will lift the russai's sanctions even after ending the ukraine war. That sanction will be in place unless Russia signs onl God knows agreement again.
Russia and China have all been marked to be weakened and if possible splitted and these vultures i know, won't rest
You know I think last week I wrote something here that China and Russia are not going to outrightly oppose USA any moment from now on and this is significantly affecting the multipolarism movement.

I expected them to take a harder stance after the whole Venezuela invasion and the kidnap of Maduro but you see nothing happened. I think China just released a statement and I don't even think Russia said anything. Also, the whole UN and the western block all made vague statements. Nobody is challenging US, they still can do whatever they want on the global realm without any repercussions.

Russia and China in order to break the hegemony and tyranny of the US should not just wait and see when they are going to be attacked directly. I know the time is coming, like they are coming for them directly but I am quite sure that it's going to be bloody.

On Iran, now building a nuke won't save them like totally. I dare say that it's going to protect the country from external aggression and also, if the whole multipolarism thing was working, they should have been able to circumvent the whole sanction thing with the help of Russia and China. However, the US and the western block are still too powerful.

Meanwhile, Iran is still fishing out spies with the help of its citizens. The US and Israel have done a good job of endearing Iranians to their government with all the rhetorics and genocide.

To be honest, I fear that these monsters are nurturing agents like this in many countries, including friendly ones that they forsee a potential conflict of interest with. We tend to think only China thinks decades ahead but the hegemony is just like that when it comes to foreign policy. Read Trump's comments on Soleimani yesterday:

Trump:

โ€œQassem Soleimani was truly a strong general. If he were to be around, we might not have been so successful in Iran, right now.โ€

As at the time they killed him, it made zero sense. Sure, he was smoking their jihadist friends in Syria but the resultant escalation didn't make sense until now. I'm sure their domestic policies are independently formulated by each administration but it's not Trump, Biden, or Obama that decides their geopolitical moves.

โšกU.S. officials warn Syrian Army may expand military operations against SDF/PKK terror group, risking wider conflict and threatening U.S. interests.

Intelligence suggests President Ahmed al-Sharaa has approved a Turkish-backed, multipronged offensive against the U.S.-allied SDF/PKK that could spread beyond Aleppo, cross the Euphrates, and reach areas where U.S. troops are based.

Washington is scrambling diplomaticallyโ€”senior envoys and Vice President JD Vance are pressuring Damascus to stand downโ€”while warning that a broader assault could trigger renewed U.S. Caesar Act sanctions.
so dem b really believe say turkey just support al sharaa for photos and vibes
erdogan has found a willing proxy for his eternal campaign against the kurds
and he is willing to sacrifice al sharaa to get his demilitiarization of the kurds

and where folks like the persians and iraqis used to view this with arched brows
they are now sympathetic to turkish concerns
because they see that the turks may be one step ahead of everyone

having a completely submissive sub-national hegemonic vassal like the kurds that are a significant demographical and geographical part of turkey, iraq, syria, and iran is a regional nuclear time bomb
the kurds want to unify their regions in all four countries and that is in effect a balkanization move for each of the four countries from antiquity

a major component of the quashed insurgency in iran was iraqi kurds crossing the border into kurdish areas where they blend in before spreading across the country to cause mayhem
the americans will find that after iraq, syria, turkey, and now iran has suffered directly from a kurdish conspiracy, there will be overt and covert support from everyone of note in the region to bring the kurds to heel
and the kurds will have no one to blame but themselves

nukes is how they buy sufficient time to work out a solution for their economy

sanctions are no joke
but on top of that and unlike north korea
they are now looking at expensive wars every 6 or so months
that would feed a death spiral

fixing the economy will take a long time for two huge reasons
structural issues like fuel subsidy (they subsidize gasoline for iran, pakistan, and afghanistan with total population of around 350m people while producing as much oil as nigeria). the last time they tried to remove it in 2019, there were deadly riots
and especially panda's lethargy to creating an alternate financial system
but the us is not going to wait, they'll keep poking and pushing

so they absolutely need a nuke like yesterday
whomever in the security establishment convinced the hierarchy that missiles were enough deterrence did not consider the impact of multiple rounds of war and insurgencies with even more sanctions added every quarter




it is true that nukes did not save the soviet union
but nukes saved millions of lives in the soviet union over its lifetime and even at its dissolution

otherwise the hegemony would have pushed the europeans into recurrent hot wars with the soviets
as well as internal insurgencies until they collapsed anyway
and the final hot war that'd trigger the collapse would have been a bloodbath for both sides
while the yanks sit in their new york, san francisco, and miami high-rises unaffected
think ukraine but with number of casualties in the tens of millions
only it will be worse without nukes, like the current war will be worse if russia had no nukes
and the best part would be that the hegemony will steal territories and resources from everyone during the entire conflict, from the soviets and the europeans
like the way they're planning to steal resources from russia, ukraine, and europe (greenland) over a conflict that no true, patriotic eurasian wanted

all told, nukes are a net positive
sanctions or no sanctions
ambitions or no ambitions

[quote author=WriteerNg post=138164579]โšกU.S. Forces seen withdrawing from Dayr Hafir in Northern Syria earlier tonight, shortly before the announced withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) from all positions near Aleppo, to the east of the Euphrates River.

we said last year that the yanks peaked in the region in 2025, the ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿคก were besides themselves in anger

near everyone want the yanks out
but their so-called allies and partners have to be very sneaky about it and not betray their true intentions
they also have to fluff the yanks from time to time to keep them from crystallizing around the idea that their previous partner is now a foe that needs to be brought down a peg

turkey is going to offer to give up the s-400 and buy the f-35 for a chance to brutalize the kurds
likewise saudi arabia would keep the yank arm tax flowing while building a sunni alliance

erdogan knows that after the last coup
if the hegemony wants to Bleep turkey up again, they'll use a kurdish insurgency like they just attempted to do in iran
and they were somewhat successful with in syria

saudi arabia has always had their doubts
but the syria, yemeni, and somalia schemes moved those doubts into the certainty columns
just because you are an ally does not mean the hegemony would not set up rigged explosives in or around your country that they can push at any time to either keep you in line or get something they know you would ordinarily reject (see greenland and canada)
it is not enough to have so-called air defense systems that can be turned off against threats to the gulf (qatar) but will be turned on against threats to the hegemony (israel)
they also had to try to install an insurgent yemeni puppet state on the saudi border that could be the next kurdish iraq on iran's border
this is after they refused to defend against houthi attacks on saudi oil fields
with friends like that, who needs enemies

everyone is waking up
whether they'll succeed in their gambits is a different issue
because they're all hopelessly infiltrated

After the failed war in Iran, the warmongers are breeding another fictional war in Syria!!!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

The same Syriaโ€™s President Ahmed al-Sharaa who issued a decree on Friday formally recognising Kurdish as a โ€œnational languageโ€ and restoring citizenship to all Kurdish Syrians

The decree which for the first time grants Kurdish Syrians rights, including recognition of Kurdish identity as part of Syriaโ€™s national fabric. It designates Kurdish as a national language alongside Arabic and allows schools to teach it

There was an agreement brokered by the US between the Kurds and the Syrian government which allowed the Kurds to withdraw from the city of Deir Hafer!!


While the Syrian president is making plans to unite his country while also moving to bring inclusiveness to the minorities..our clowns are busy clamouring for war simply because the SDF are US allies!!

It must be tough being an axis supporter, raking in loses is now the new normal!!

โšกIran's National Police Command announced on Friday the interception of 60,000 weapons at Bushehr port coming from abroad and headed to Tehran for use in riots that have gripped dozens of cities since early January.

Two suspects were arrested, and officials called it a major blow against terrorists and rioters.
Netanyahoo and CIA regime change expectations have completely crumbled.

I must salute the Iranian counterintelligence efforts on this occasion.

Netanyahoo will be banging tables right now in Tel Aviv. They spent millions putting this together only to end up I. Ruins.

Well, we still have to wait because the US usually love to strike on a Friday when the stock markets have closed. It's Saturday today, so let's see how it pans out from here onward. There is always another Friday.

However, one thing is clear: the attack was called off because, without ground troops, the Zionists/CIA cannot succeed. The continuous destruction of the Kurds and weapon caches infiltrating the borders has ruled out any chance of establishing ground control in Iran. A bully will not start a fight if he knows he might get hurt.

They should have a second option on the table, even as we await further action on the ME chessboard.

Meanwhile, this could be the right time for Iran to move from being reactionary to proactiveness. They should escalate on the intelligence frontier--establish a huge but sophisticated network of agents and saboteurs in enemies territories, including in surrounding countries where US aerier and standoff strike platforms are stationed. They must upgrade to the level of the enemy's intelligence sophistication in armament and planning to ensure that such conditions do not reoccur in the future without being able to inflict similar damage on the enemy from the inside.

That way, the enemy will understand that no one has a monopoly of violence.

every independent superpower needs nukes

iran needs nukes as much as any major power for two unimpeachable reasons

1. they've tussled with every major historical power in their neighborhood, the greeks, turks, arabs, russians, and now the hegemony
they have no natural ally
2. they're the protectors of shia islam. if christians, hindus/buddhists, and sunni islam have nukes, iran needs nukes because they're in a terrible neighborhood and no one gives a flying f*ck about shia muslims
not the hegemony. not russia. not china. not india. not africans. not south americans. no one.
in fact this reason alone is good enough for the ayatollah to void his "no nuke" fatwa




without nukes, china would not have been able to bide their time until their wto ascension without worrying about an intervention
they were poor and they literally had to fight a proxy war with the hegemony almost immediately after the end of ww2
let's not forget about tiananmen square of 1989, literally two years before the fall of the soviet union

likewise india
who did the hegemony back during the pakistan-india war?
there're still provocations from time to time and they still have a 50% tariff on them for their russia trading relations




in high-stakes geopolitics among the major powers
the maxim is if you want to remain independent, get nukes and ask questions later

Only individuals handpicked by the regime will be given access. Iranians who have security clearance or have undergone government checks could surf on a filtered version of the global internet, according to the report.

โ€œState media and government spokespersons have already signaled that this is a permanent shift and have warned that unrestricted access will not return after 2026โ€

from sanctioning ICC judges to un officials like the rapporteur to even authors like jacques bard

everyone in europe is a hostage
when you're in a position of authority, your personal interest is in navigating the minefield for career growth, help members of your family/clan get excellent economic and career opportunities, and retire to a nice fat pension

every other thing is secondary

only the french can even utter rhetoric that appears to be anti-american
the rest can think it but can't let the words escape their lips
hostages. the lot of them.

-Lord
It is finished... for Europe!
