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.

      Again for some reason china which is invested in iran is not relevant. As for russia it has considerable territory in ukraine. Maybe that will change, but note that unlike before, bilateral talks are happenning.

        i am sure stupid countries win stupid prizes. i mean china is shit stupid for thousands of years now. nobody but stupid countries wants to be friends with them, birthrate decline, no growth in housing sector, the list never ends. but they have always been that stupid; like that time their regime failed to grow crops and blamed birds forcing their goon citizens to cull all the birds. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kwURhByIOuw and you cant even talk about it with them…they are goons. same for tibet, tiananmen square, uigurs, hongkong… like if you can make a stupid choice china will do it. same for russia…cant talk about basic history of the country and yet they think they are a strong country. 180million ppl cant beat 50million ppl for over 1000 days now… what a sad sad shitshow. why would anyone think russia will win? delusional facists.

          So you just disregarded the points I made? Ok. Well just to quickly compare. History of a country, even as uninformed as the one you presented, has no bearing on the argument here. China is now consistenly outpacing essentially rest of the world for idk 30 years? It overtook US as largest economy, and is growing far faster. Theyve lifted hundreds of millions out of extreme poverty, without precedent. But again this is irrelevant to their position on iran.

          As for russia, ukraine is receiving aid yes? And if we are to compare population sizes for some unexplained reason ok for the sake of it lets do that. Us did not manage to beat afghans taliban, these used to be literally armed goat herders, unlike trained ukrainian soldiers, western mercenaries and massive aid of the west.

          Now to actually get to the topic there are bilateral talks and russia holds significant territory, those are just observations. No need to try to predict based on some emotional dogma. But if things are to continue as they are now, significant territory remains ceded.
