Intellectually wars obvs bad and one must comprehend the suffering. War's also kinda cool and many a soldier gets addicted to it, generals love leading, politicians to armchair over armies
The old man obvs took a liking to it all and the power trip it gives him
You think person X had a grand ideological commitment to spreading the revolutionary cause for innumerable ideological reasons but at days end a lot of people enjoy it all for its sake alone.
Mr Trotsky probably believed in stuff but the civil war also just made him a war junkie wanting more
There is really nothing more behind it than the fact the old man loves it and thinks its cool
People talk of shadowy lobbyists and cabals but a lobbyist isn't really a masonic-judo rope puller as much as a cheerleader trying to convince the boss how fcking cool it'd be if he does this
But the final decision really comes down to whatever the big man just kinda enjoys doing it all
Bush Jr was a Bosnia/Kosovo interventionist skeptic to until he found out how cool it is to do internationalist revolutionary wars
"When i won in 2024 for the 3rd time, i had this skinny Yemeni shawarma seller endorse me. Kept yelling "Mahdi! Mahdi!" at me. Told me he'll vote me in Michigan. I said I liked Dune to, great movie, terrific movie"
"They tell me 'you can't do it Mr. Trump, you can't' but I tell them what the hell even does an Ayatollah do? Every time you see one he just sits down and naps more than Sleepy Joe does on a weekend afternoon. Who can't do that? I can go to Karbala and slap my chest a bit to, who can't?"
"I heard Motjaba is running. They telling me Motjaba thinks of running. Limp dick little Motjaba wants a big turban. They tell us an Azeri Turk is a Sayid now. Come on, people!"
"Motjaba is not a Hojjat al Islam, they rigged the vote on that. It was the biggest steal since the 9th century when the Abbassids..."

I'm still half expecting everyone goes to Muscat just bcs very big high ranking people like Larijani, Ghalibaf...etc are still not dead
But if the rumours are true then oh boy lmao. TR will be fine, but Iraq/Syria? Azerbaijan? Armenia? Turkmenistan!?
Its probably an ok strategy for us but we obvs should not meddle in the attempt to trigger the Final Biblical Civil War, and we won't
Anyhow, Turkey needs another border fund tranche from Brussels and Syria an entire frontex deal set up just in case
Telling the people of Dahyeh to go to Tripoli is kinda sick. They obvs know what they imply and obvs meant it as this tongue in cheek bit
Like even 'anti-war' Spanish gov is defending Cyprus rn and can easily go in Gulf to. Italy and France already drawn in
Obviously 'defense' eventually means hitting launch areas bcs its more cost effective
Its more like my point on day 1 that attacks on GCC infrastructure will drag Europeans in a 'defensive' operation to defend energy installations, extraction and Hormuz (we need US/GCC/+ for this)
He's in Doha right now lol
He was defending literal anime feet porn and I get banned!
Yes
@sashotodorov.bsky.social @navidi.bsky.social post it at the moron so he knows what he did to me
I'm fcking losing it LMAO. I got banned for joking with Dev
Signs for who can see them (i did not)
little imho. Maybe a few die-hard PKK factions going to join PJAK
Sure but strong reports he was meeting Israeli contacts. He went a bit fascinating
All off above applies to Canada as well
EU was one of the strongest supporter of diplomatic opening back in the day because the true benefits of the JCPOA was going to be the euro business flowing into Iran, way more than any US investment
A lot changes in a decade though
Many European countries have decent sized Iranian diasporas present and integrated across the political spectrum. Any statements will take heed of that, and like it or not the anti-regime side has strongly outgrew the reformist engagement one
If they get Larijani/Ghalibaf it'll get spicy
