I also know there's something about a Mountain of Gold appearing after the Euphrates River is dried up sooo... we're possibly headed into an interesting time.

How is it that a government like the islamic republic that oppresses it's own people got apologists and supporters in USA's top universities? Why does the NIAC try to normalize what an oppressive regimme is doing?

Inevitable? Really? You think if the western secret agencies didnt interfere with the education process and the development of middle east... that this many fanatical religious people would still exist?

Are you from afghanistan?

I was raised in Afghanistan and my family was extensively involved in the government. And yes, inevitable. If you thought there was any chance the Taliban wasn’t gonna steamroll an unpopular puppet government the second the US left then you’re sorely uneducated regarding the topic

The reason they have supporters is because the US is an imperialist hegemony and there’s a clear abuse of power balance in one side.

The entire reason the Middle East is the way it is is because of direct American involvement in the past and Iran has been the only state able to stabilize and protect itself from American interference.

You think if US didnt intervene with afghanistan in the 80s afghans would still be in the situation that they are in now?

Do you really think that if US didn't invade afghanistan and put in charge a puppet corrupt government that failed to bring stability and educate the people properly that afghans would be in the situation that they are in now?

Dumb uneducated (or perhaps Hawza "educated") people join the taliban .... that's a fact.

Why USA wants dumb uneducated people in charge over there? It is because they don't want a resourceful country like afghanistan to prosper. They much rather put exteremists in charge... sanction them... and then make bank doing back alley deals with em.

Them supporters live in USA though.... some are even white caucasians

You support Iran supporting Taliban?

Anyways

Cant mossad the Assad baby

born in iraq, i support this thread

No but I’d rather local politics come to play than American imperialism

shouldn't really include obama in this, hes a failure of a president and an embarassment all around, but he was re-elected and served both terms fully and maintained an approval rating of around 50% stably with a better personal approval rating, hes not in the same boat as the others who were hit by the assad curse lol

Lebanon looks like its gonna pop off 👀

I’m surprised it hadn’t popped off sooner given the people’s situation over there. No electricity.. no petrol.. no food. Praying for the people of Lebanon.. an amazing people. They deserve better.

Agreed Lebanon is the most beautiful country geographically in the middle east imo

Kinda confused about whats going on tho I'm seeing a lot of clips of firefights in the street and one of the groups fighting is apparently Hezbollah but idk who the f*** they are shooting at cuz it's definitely not the lebanese army or police force... just looks like a fight between two militias

NYT article also has something about a hezbollah link to the beirut explosion from last year wtf is that about?

western media ignoring lebanon for the past like handful of years tells you just about everything you need to know lol

whats been happening

economic crisis
food crisis
fuel/energy crisis
fragmented government issues in part pressured by western powers
targeted US sanctions exacerbated most of these especially the fuel/energy stuff

ohh thought a new event happened like type 9/11

nah it's an ongoing set of intersecting issues, nothing hyper-specific individually

Basically Hezbollah and the Amal group were protesting against these court hearings that are trying to implicate Hezbollah in the Beirut blast but the Lebanese army had snipers set up and started shooting into the crowd thus warranting a response from Hezbollah

Lebanon is next. Hizbullah is destined to take over.

In for Grand Ayatollah Hassan Nasrallah to become the supreme leader of Lebanon. The hidden Imam needs more custodians on Earth to rule in his absence until he returns to fill the world with peace and justice.
