China surpassed the United States in global approval ratings in 2025, with a median of 36% approving of China’s leadership, compared with 31% for the U.S. China’s five-percentage-point advantage over the U.S. is the widest Gallup has recorded in China’s favor in nearly 20 years.
Yawn.
I’m assuming you are off to live in the utopian theocractic paradise of Iran then?
It is amazing how simplistic your world view is; truly it is impressive how little you seem to care to expand your knowledge or world view.
A place being different does not mean you need to ride in on your high horse and foment chaos and destruction in the vague hope they’ll be more amicable to your corporate masters.
Especially being on a .uk domain you should know that YOUR COUNTRY IS THE SOLE REASON IRAN IS A THEOCRATIC REPUBLIC. The sole reason. The literal only one.
If you people would have just accepted not having them as a colonial resource state with a puppet regime and allowed them to nationalize their resources instead of letting BP continue to rape their land and air while paying them next to nothing, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A WESTERN LIBERAL DEMOCRACY IN IRAN STILL.
But no, despite having a stable and developing Iran, you people decided it would be less harmful to install a monarchy and then when that didn’t work you people decided to do another revolution except oops, you failed and now it’s a theocratic republic.
If Western powers had left Iran alone to develop into socialism, yes the UK would be poorer, yes Israel would have actual threats in the region, and yes the oil market in the 1970s would have been even more anti-western than it was; but Iran would be a beacon of democratic socialism on par with Norway.
BUT YOU PEOPLE DIDN’T WANT THAT. Just like your criticisms now ring hollow as you advocate for civil war and revolution yet again despite knowing your false nonsense is the reason you criticize the current government.
You, being a citizen of the UK, US, or Israel have no moral high ground. You are much more immoral than any muslim theocrat in iran. You are worse than any terrorist.
None of this changes the fact that Iran just murdered thousands of people.
Lemme guess, you think Russia were justified in their invasion of Ukraine and Kim Jong Un is an alright guy.
It is a complete mystery how the western imperial mind works.
What does Iran defending itself against Israel have to do with Russia’s Imperialism or North Korea’s defense against the ongoing invasion by the US?
Easy.
You don’t believe Iran is a despitic theocratic regime capable of murdering thousands of its own citizens.
Its not a stretch to assume you believe Russia is on the right side of history as well.
Also, for some reason you think I support the american attacks. I dont. Like I wrote in my first post.
And somehow you think America’s attacks mean Iran is innocent.
The American attacks were the protests, that’s the point you’re not understanding or refusing to acknowledge. They were not organic protests. I doubt most that participated were citizens, especially when 99% of the coverage was prewritten by NED-linked organizations.
Iran isn’t despotic, the word you’re looking for. If it were, then the American decapitation strikes would have ended Iran.
It didn’t, because that’s not what the country is. Its military isn’t linear, there is no single person in charge of the military or the government. There never has been. They have watched the failures of nationstates like that.
Hence why the Iranian defensive strikes have happened no matter what ‘leader’ the US has designated as a leader and has killed. And they will continue until both the US and Israel are out of the region or they get security guarantees from the EU against the US and Israel.
Because there isn’t a party in charge.
There isn’t a person in charge.
There isn’t a family in charge.
This isn’t the UK.
This isn’t the US.
This is a theocratic republic with decentralized authority and control; a set of guiding principles.
It’s why Muslim women are completely free to do whatever with their hair in Tehran and Shiraz, but would be heavily punished for not wearing head coverings in Urmia.
There isn’t a central authority. There isn’t a single set of rules, much to the chagrin of the parliament who have tried to better unify and align the disparate laws.
If you can’t get basic facts right because you have NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE SUBJECT MATTER, because you have NO ACTUAL LOCAL INFORMATION, because you ARE BRAINWASHED BY CIA PROPAGANDA THROUGH NED-OPERATED CIA FRONTS LIKE HRWNA, then you cannot possibly think you have any weight in your words when you incorrectly and plainly falsely throw around nonsense that you want others to take seriously.
This war should have shown you that NOTHING YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IRAN WAS CORRECT, and maybe you should question the sources that mislead you to your current beliefs. But instead you’re doubling and tripling down on your owners’ and masters’ propaganda and pretending you have any possible idea of what’s happening in the wider world.
Feel free to prove me wrong in any way, by the way, with any non-NED linked source. Literally any. If neither Mossad nor the CIA have touched the source I’ll happily concede whatever point, or I’ll point out the direct lineage between those groups and the source you post.
I’ve just been reading along this thread and I think this is the part I don’t understand.
Is the idea here that the protests were Americans? I’m not sure I understand what you mean by ‘The American attacks were the protests’.
Beyond that, if we accept strictly what Iran has released about the number of protestors killed it is still an incredible amount of violence for a two day period. The fact that the Iranian regime released the same number, 3117, for number of deaths on multiple different occasions regarding these protests is odd — it would indicate to me that the number is false and probably higher.
Simply trying to understand what your point is here — I don’t necessarily disagree with most of what you’ve said. Specifically I agree with you that if we’d just left Iran alone things would have turned out much differently and much more positively for them.
Yes. I would look up the history of colour revolutions, the arab spring, and the CIA’s and Mossad’s extensive, ridiculously long involvement in generating these ‘protests’ as NED-Backed organizations call them. I would provide links but anytime I do they’re called propaganda so I encourage you to find your own sources since all of this is declassified; and don’t let ‘declassified’ fool you into ‘they stopped doing it.’
The primary modus operandi is to find anyone in a country that opposes the current status quo and start feeding them propaganda, weapons, and money. Usually directly via agents already in place in that country. They then take the most disenfranchised people to start direct actions, with usually two prongs. ‘peaceful’ protests, i.e. a stripped down version of the extremist ideology they have started to foment that is more palatable to the general public with far less expansive goals, think the modern white-washed version of MLK’s ideology compared to Malcom X’s.
The playbook is then to radicalize larger and larger portions of the mediocre population into the militant population; so that when violence is triggered (usually by getting the radicalized population to instigate violence as we saw in Tienanmen Square) to provoke a response.
If the government does not respond with force, the movement grows more bold until it does, or until all foreign assets are arrested (why hong kong did not turn into a Tienanmen).
If the government does respond with force, this is greatly exaggerated internationally via NED-backed propaganda organizations, all of which either don’t care to investigate the actual cause, or are explicitly directed to ignore the actual cause: violence from extremists against the general public and/or government.
If this all sounds vaguely like what the US government says Al Qaeda does… I’ll let you draw your own conclusions with the hint that projection is the most common form of fascist propaganda.
The new ruler is literally the son of the old one.
Everything else you wrote is nonsense. I’m bored of you.
Love that your ultimate response to any argument is “I’m bored of you” because you can’t bother to try to inform yourself and are simply pretending to know all about world affairs by going off vibes 🙄
Are you talking about the spiritual leader who has as much influence as the Pope does in the US?
