Actual Iranian women vs. Imperialist pinkwashing.

These villains are driving us crazy! These villains spent a year and a half killing half a million people, and now they’re attacking! We want an atomic bomb!

Rania Khalek/BreakThrough News 📺 Iran’s Anti-Imperialism: Where It Comes From, Why It’s Not Going Away, w/ Prof. Nina Farnia

Why is Iran under constant US attack? Is it really about women’s rights and democracy? Or is it because Iran, since its revolution, has been a staunch supporter both ideologically and materially, of resistance to US imperialism across the Middle East? To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Nina Farnia, Assistant Professor of Law at Albany Law School, a longtime activist and a scholar of Critical Race Theory, with a focus on US imperialism and its impact on domestic law.

    Anybody who wants peace and justice wants iranians to be able to defend themselves from centuries of endless imperial attacks. There will never be peace or progress if only the genocidal fascists are armed. They already have nukes and their explicit goal is invading and stealing every neighboring country.

      The Persian empire was pretty big, until Alexander the Great (Greece) kicked their asses. This area has had empires rise and fall for millennia. Iran was the dominant power (and sometime colonizer) western Asia for 12 centuries.

      I highly doubt anything will ever bring it peace, it’s the middle east, nuclear proliferation is a terrible idea. And that goes for anyone, any country.
