Or maybe because the Bush administration literally plotted a coup on his government and had him detained by the military in 2002?

u see u don’t understand Khomeini bribed Bush to do the coup decrease US relations so Khomeini can later come and be part of the “anti-imperalist” powers and increase his influence over Venezuela

I promise you the world doesn't revolve around the ayatollahs lmao

The world revolves around US foreign affairs. A vast majority of the f***ery US does is in the middle east. The Ayatollah plays a big part there. So the world largely does revolve around that actually.

To be fair. I never even mentioned Iran here like that. I gave a perspective and two examples on why landslides dont mean s*** and why there are low turnouts. You guys never even tried to argue with those points and my first comment and instead decided to play identity politics. you gonna make it far as a leftist bro.

But I love it. Like the direction you took the thread. Some spectators might learn some new things.

Venezuela so full of violence and poverty I have a lot of compassion with the people that live there.... They need to get rid of the entire political establishment and opposition and have a real peoples revolution. Too much corruption and blood has been spilled.

(Obviously that would just result in more violence but dam idk how it gets better)

Hey bro I can't make threads anymore, can you make one in this section about the french convoy going to Niger

It's trucks shock full of weapon. Protesters from Burkina Faso have stopped it for a whole week in multiple cities, then it was stopped again by protesters in Mali and now it has been stopped again by protesters in Niger. Multiple protesters in each countries have been shot and killed by the french soldiers trying to pass through, the situation is getting more and more tense and things might really pop off at any moment now.
