US Strikes on Iran (Operation Epic Fury)

[Ivan Denisovich]

I don’t really like your choice of words. I will give some shorter answers.

That's tough. I had chosen my words deliberately.

You seem to be tired too

Only of your ignorance and obvious and distasteful sympathy to murderous regimes.

 

I meant that Iran would not have backed down at the Cuba missile crisis.

So you're time traveler? You believe that Iran wouldn't have backed down but your belief isn't reality.

They would have started WWIII already (because they think they would go to paradise for that)

It's only your conjecture. You clearly have some animus against Iran which colors your perspective so obviously I'm genuinely amazed you can't see it.
 

I think you are misjudging me. It’s just that I maintain a degree of critical mindset at all time.

You sure do. Examples of this critical mindset are praising SU for irrelevant shit like first astronaut in space and ignoring that it was guilty of genocide and helped to start WWII? Or perhaps you show this allege critical mindset by saying that you start to like trump?

If anything I judge you far less severely than I perhaps should.

Many of you seem to be rather worried about the MAGA movement. I also have my dose of worries about my own authoritarian government. But as I said, populist leader can sometimes be right and the opposition movement can sometimes be wrong.

trump isn't a populist leader. He is fascist but for some reason you can't bring yourself to admit it. Quite curious I must say.

Opposition obviously can be wrong, but opposition to trump being wrong is, let's just say not really probable.
 

We may discuss the USSR in future posts but you will have to watch your mouth a little. We cannot have an intellectual discussion if you decide to lose your temper like this.

Get some education and then I might deign to explain a few things about SU to you. You flatter yourself shamelessly if you think that you're a partner to discussion about USSR to someone who wrote his master's thesis about USSR early history (and it's influence on Poland independence) and then studied it for years.
 

Communist regimes in the world tended to be very corrupt from the beginning. Lenin + Stalin + Mao were people who were ready to sacrifice people in order to erase all traces of the previous feudal social order and create something new: a modern socialist society.

Since communism is end stage of Marx dream, a stateless, classless and moneyless society there were no communist regimes in world history. There were regimes that claimed that they will build it but that's something quite different.
 

Personally I don’t like Trotsky that much. But I know about the friction between Trotcsyism and Stalinism. I also know about the Prague Revolt in 68 and how this all ended in a bloodbath.

Good for you. You have knowledge on the level of 14 year old if I remember correctly how things were taught in Poland schools.
 

Still you cannot say that Communism is not a part of Human History and that communists did now achieve anything in this world. If they did nothing, they defeated fascism. Doesn’t that count for anything?

I can say that communism is not a part of human history because there never was such thing as communism. Lenin supposedly wanted to build communism, hell it was official SU doctrine till Khrushchev but it was never built.

USSR did defeated fascism. With help of western allies which you conveniently forget. It also helped fascists to start a WWII which you also conveniently forget. Quite telling I must say.
 

As a specie we like experimenting stuff. Sometimes we have to try things and it simply does not work. That’s how I see communism. + I believe that a more equalitarian society will be possible in the future. I believe in universal healthcare + free education and other socialist approaches like that (while still believing in democratic values, secularism and supremacy of law).

That's nice. Experiment with practical realization of Marx ideology ended with criminal regime.
 

So I would advise you to not misinterpret some of the things that I write in this forum.

Or what?

I advise you to get some actual education before you will start to yammer on the subjects you know less than nothing.
 

All of this was to say that the Soviets were still a rational element. Just like today’s China if you want. I mean you can talk to them when you have to and you can find solutions by simply talking to them.

Great Terror sure was rational. Or Holodomor. Or sending millions to GULag instead of using them in productive work. You have some peculiar definition of rationality it seems.
 

Now it was D. Trump who walked away from the nuclear deal with Iran. So all of this is basically his fault yes. But this isn’t 2018. We’re in 2026. We need to find solutions to today’s issues. Right now we have no nuclear deal with Iran since 8 years and they already have 60% enriched Uranium already.

If I would live near (relatively) israel a known genocidal regime with nuclear weapon I too would like to have nuclear weapon.
 

Besides Iran was a more rational element in the 2010’s. It seems to me that they are getting even more fanatical as the years are passing.

Yet it is them who are only defending themselves.
 

If I am correct most people here believe that this is different: So explain yourselves. Maybe you are right and I am wrong

That you're wrong is beyond question. I don't owe you any explanation. Educate yourself and maybe you will grasp why cheering for imperialist attacking sovereign countries isn't thing to be proud of.
