I noticed so many Israeli/Zionist bots on X were promoting the creation of The ballroom after that weird joke of an assassination attempt. Is it really just a ballroom or a Zionist control and command /Ai data center beneath the White House? |
..and we did it until 1865. Again, pretending that we are good and moral just because we didn’t something a little longer ago or on a smaller scale bizarre. Many of our Middle East “allies” practice defacto slavery right now in construction and other industries and we suck up to them like it’s our job. |
You explicitly said we were less moral specifically because we engaged in slavery and they did not. You were blatantly wrong on a factual basis and can't have it both ways. Iran/Persia have never been global Mother Teresa's. That doesn't mean that this war was a good idea but it does mean that your anti-American moral bs, which is eerily similar to the anti-Iranian moral bs, is bs. |
DP. This is disingenuous. You know perfectly well that the scale and scope of slavery in Persia/Iran was substantially different from that of chattel slavery in the Americas (millions versus 100s of thousands, large scale economic dependence versus domestic workers/warriors, permanent/hereditary/race based status versus non-inherited, legal system that explicitly defined slaves as property, designed to keep them enslaved versus legal system that provided ways out, and some protections, etc.). I am not saying Persian slavery was okay or acceptable, just that they are very different things, and the scale and scope of what we did was substantially worse than what they did. |
Castration and religious based slavery were not better. I am no fan of Russia but they had to fight a war against Qajar Persia to put a stop to the slave raids. Both American and Persian slavery was bad. Pretending that one was morally superior or has anything to do with this stupid war is asinine. |

Iranian Vice President for Strategic Affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif:
“President Trump seems to have an insatiable need to be the center of attention. International relations are a serious matter; they concern people’s lives and the stability of entire regions. At times, it feels as though the whole world is being forced to take part in a multibillion-dollar therapy session to compensate for the attention he may not have received in childhood." |
Israel is by any definition a terrorist state. If the US is attacking Iran because you say Iran is a terrorist state that means Israel must be attacked because it is far worst vs Iran in every matrix. Also the pp was not having a conversation. Just posting nonsense about Iran being a terrorist state. Like it or not Iran has a right to self defense. Iran has not been the aggressor in 47 years unlike Israel. Though it does not matter. The US will be out of the ME and Europe within a year or two. Europe without American in NATO will sanction Israel. This will crippling Israel. China and Iran will be the main player in the ME. The gulf states are already in discussions with the Chinese. China unlike the US does not give a rat’s ass about Israel. Israel is in an untenable position going forward. From now on any Israeli attacks against Iran or its allies will result in the shutdown of the strait and/or strikes against Israel. The world is not going to stand by and let Israel wreck the world’s economy. Israel will have to at minimum rebuild Gaza, remove all West Bank settlements and Jordan will be turned in to a Palestinian state that annexes the West Bank. Israel really f’ed up this time. |
Iran will keep this up through November. Iran is letting about 1/2 the Persian Gulf oil get to market. A few weeks before first absentee ballots go out in the states, Iran will destroy the Saudi pipeline and stop all tanker traffic through the strait. This will be another 10 million barrels a day gone from the market. It will double gas and diesel prices within days. Trump is the next Carter. |
And after slavery was outlawed, the USA switched to defacto slavery which was called sharecropping. A sharecropper not only indebted hisself for life to the landowner, but also his wife and children. They had to farm the owner's land and live in the shacks (former slave homes) on the land of the landowner, purchase their food and clothing from the landowner. All the expenses were deducted from the sharecroppers meager wages and for some reason the sharecropper always owed a debt to the landowner. So technically, slavery in the USA continued well into the 1950's, 60's of this country. I remember my late grandmother telling me the stories about growing up on a sharecropper's farm and having to fight off both the the owner and his son. She was born in 1922. She ran north during WW2, but her father and one brother remained to pay the family ongoing alleged debts. |
No, he is not. Please do not denigrate President Carter like that. Trump is in a league of his own, and is below the dirt in which Carter is buried. |
That's absolutely horrible but was unfortunately a very common experience throughout the world and is still a common experience in developing countries. It's the exact reason why Marx and Communism have held such an allure and why so many people emigrate. The world needs to be a better place. |

While you are arguing, 29 billion spent on a pointless war nobody wanted and 3.8% inflation caused by it.
This sucks. |
Carter called Israel an apartheid. Trump on the other hand is obedient and subservient to Zionists. |
Nobody will complain if it was that low. |
|
$29 billion and the strait of Hormuz is still closed.
Iran has agreed to nothing. Inflation is at its highest in 3 years. Gas is close to $5/gallon. We are paying for an arch and a ballroom. We are definitely winning!! |
