There are three possible outcomes:

  1. Best: The Islamic Republic survives this war.
  2. Bad: Iran is broken up along ethnic lines.
  3. Worst: The racist and violent puppet monarchy is restored.

I want the IR to survive but if the Persian chauvinist monarchy comes to power then it will be hell for minorities in Iran and it is better off broken apart.

It looks bleak at times, specially after what the West did to Gaza, but Iran isn't Gaza and if Afghanistan survived a regime change so should Iran.

Are the Kurds masochists to trust a betrayer again like this?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 days ago (4 children)

That has to be harder after they armed and then betrayed the Kurds in Syria, right?

I would think so, but ze_squirrel thinks they’re just mercenaries.

the fact is that in Syria, Iraq and now Iran Kurds have played the role of willing mercenaries for the CIA and Mossad. Scum like this are not actually motivated by any desire for national sovereignty, because they know that does not come from the CIA-Mossad. They're doing it purely for money, greed and lust for chaos. The only response they deserve is utter annihilation. Destroy this cancerous Zionist enclave wherever it exists, from Syria to Iraq and Iran. Eliminate it.

to be clear this is the various Kurdish militant groups that are propped up by CIA-Mossad cash and intel. They're the equivalent of narco-terrorists. They just want to capture oil fields and sell it alongside the bounties they gather from Tel Aviv and Washington. Wipe them out

how much money did these Kurdish narco-terrorists larping as epic anarchists steal from Syrians when handed oil-fields by the CIA/Mossad? How many billions did these mercenary scum stash away in Cayman island bank accounts? There is nothing here but mercenary greed and bloodlust

Their leaders are highly likely compromised but they have a lot of useful idiots under them.

Not the first time, and the Kurds always came back for more.

Yeah this keeps happening since at least since the first Gulf War, when Bush Sr. encouraged them to rebel, telling them the US had their backs, but then did nothing and allowed Hussein’s forces to mow them down from helicopters.

If I were the Kurds I’d simply take the arms and then just keep them without trying to launch an uprising in Iran.

It's like Charlie Brown and the football.
