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.

It seems fair since we let Israel have nukes.

Every individual in Iran should get one nuke as a treat

Israel likely agrees. Not like that though.

Iran is a BRICS member and both china and russia are invested in Iran. I dont think that this will be so easy. It will be interesting to see if US gets involved, since it almost never wants to directly fight against a decent enemy all since Vietnam.

russia has enough problems and wasnt even able to keep syrias dictator in charge. i am sure they cant and wont help. see ppl that love patriarchy tend to over inflate things. and regimes are the peak of patriarchy. thats why ukraine will beat russia and israel will beat iran.

Pure idealism

[-] gorikan@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Yeah they only managed to keep him in charge for over a decade. And china? Also why are you confusing military power with some unspecified peoples claims? You are not inflating 'things' when you assume that ukraine will beat russia?

[-] yournamehere@lemm.ee -2 points 3 hours ago

willing to bet on russia?

[-] gorikan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

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.
