Because that never went horribly wrong before, right ?

Indeed, didn't the Orange even sent Kurds the weapons for Iran resistance only for Kurds to keep them?

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe that was also after the kurds got betrayed a few times too.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And in fact part of thatwas due to Trump favoring yet another dictator scumbag Erdogan of Turkey who waged war on the Kurds.

Oh didn't know that.

It couldn't go worse than continued IRGC rule.

A while back Tankie complained to me about taking Ghadafi out (which is kind of the same problematic tactic of not supporting a resistance capable of replacing them) because now Libya is stuck an anarchy with human slavery...

But the thing is, Ghadafi started the human slavery trade in Libya.

Couldn't go worse? Pinochet, Branco and all the other dictatorships the US put in place would like a word. America helped the Mujahedeen, which led to the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS for fuck's sake. They are magnitudes worse than the Islamic Republic, it's not even close.

Yes, and? I can't see this as anything other than a defense of the IRGC?

It's like "we have dictatorship, which kills hundreds of thousands, yes, but other dictator could be worse you know?"

Like bro

Wut

Your point was that it can't get worse than the Islamic Republic, and I provided examples on how it can actually get worse ?

"Islamic Republic" oh please, the Islamic Revokutionary Guard Corps are haram 7 days a week and theres not a fucking trace of a Republic burried anywhere in there.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not arguing on the label, whether it's a Republic or not. I'm arguing that it can, in fact, be a lot worse than the Iranian regime.

Nah, fuck em. Same with all the other Autocrats.
