"The problem is that they are too stupid to know they should be scared of me." - Trump

No, they aren't. The problem is that they are smart enough to know how stupid HE is.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

They're certainly smart enough to know he's scared stupid of them.

Israel was still launching missiles during ceasefire talks btw.

Including women and children, they killed more than 300 killed and 1,150 injured people.

In case you thought for a moment Zionists will let US leave their war.

But did he even say "thank you" to the Iranians?

[–] desiccated_event@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago

"Spiritual leader" is a huge stretch, dude was their dictator.

[–] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 30 points 2 months ago (5 children)

So, no. that's not how any of that works.

He was the head of the Shia sect of Islam. i.e. he was essentially the pope.

He was not the head of state and had limited power beyond his role as spiritual leader. The head of state would be the president of Iran, or the Prime minister. Both of whom did consult him, of course as it's still a theocratic republic, but he had as much power as the pope has in Italy.

Repeating far-right propaganda like you are does nothing to help anyone. Change cannot be brought about by objectively false analysis and propaganda; hence the current state of Afghanistan and Iraq.

[–] AnalogJack@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So no, that’s also not how that works. The Supreme Leader directly appoints and can dismiss at will 6 of the 12 members of the Council of Guardians that decides who can and cannot run for elected office. The Chief Justice appoints the other 6 but he is also directly appointed and can be dismissed by the Supreme Leader. Opposition candidate are routinely prevented from running. The Assembly of Experts selects and can dismiss the Supreme Leader but those members also have to be approved by the Council of Guardians so they’re all loyalists. The supreme leader is legally considered "inviolable", with Iranians being routinely punished for questioning or insulting him. Oh, he’s also the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian armed forces too. He is not just a pope-like figure, he is the highest authority in the country with effective control over every government position and policy. Effectively, a dictator.

Got literally any non-NED sources for that little buddy?

Because this sounds like some 'Kim Jong-Un used AA to kill his uncle' level nonsense that goes against literally all knowledge on the subject.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ll do it for the other guy.

If you call your debate opponent anything like "little buddy", "sweetheart", etc., you instantly lose the argument.

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Huh, til. Thanks!

[–] S491@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He was not the head of Shia Islam he was a grand Ayatollah, think of that as the head judge of a Supreme Court, an Ayatollah can be thought of as a judge who has spent their whole life dedicated to the study and application of religious law. Any time he makes a legal decision called a fatwa it is for people who choose to follow his, for lack of a better term, legal philosophy. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was arguably the second most important grand Ayatollah in Shia Islam, he just also happend to be the Supreme leader of Iran. The most important Ayatollah is Ayatollah Sistani in Iraq.

Less power than the Pope since the Vatican is its own city-state.

Eta so extremist, he's the one standing between Iran and nuclear weapons, just like his father, peace be upon him.
