  • Discontent only turns into Revolution when enough people voice it and act on it, as they feed each other’s confidence in changing things eventually turning into a critical mass for change.

    An external enemy that attacks for no reason, more so one which is so murderous and immoral that they would mass kill children, will make a lot of people not voice their discontent with the only structure capable of unifying them in defense against the external agreessor, much less act against it.

    Then on top of that, that murderous foreign aggressor has actually voiced their the desire for said Revolution.

    If before in Iran voicing opposition to the regime might actually inspire others to also voice their own discontent, now it will inspire others to attack that person for doing what that foreign aggressor wants.

    So what before was growing into a critical mass for change amongst the general population has now been rolled back into what is most small groups of like-minded extremelly anti-regime individuals surrounded by a general population that sees them as working for a foreign aggressor which is so evil that they blew up a school full of children.


  • In that racist muck of how you expressed yourself one does find the bright jewel of a point that in the West (especially America, IMHO) there’s a overwhelming tendency to “blame the foreigners” in some way or other (be it “immigrants” or “foreign states”) for things which are first and foremost the fault of 100% local people, the 100% local system that puts them in power and the 100% local citizenry who went along with all of it for decades.

    Specifically on what America is doing now, none of whatever Russian influence (much less, the far, far, vaster Israeli one) would at all work if the quality of the local politicians which people kept putting in power for decades (all the while going along with the stupidly obvious nationalist propaganda of how special America) wasn’t so abysmally bad.

    Americans in general are first and foremost to blame for this shit, mainly for their cheerleading of a system which started flawed and got increasingly broken over time without them doing anything to fix it (when was the last time there was a General Strike in the US???!).






  • I think American support for the Far-Right all over Europe has been ongoing and pretty openly so for a while now: some years ago Steve Bannon even came to Europe with money to - as he himself said - grow the Far-Right in Europe.

    Israel being an ethno-Fascist country are also very interested in the growth of the Far-Right in Europe as plenty of warm welcome of European Fascists in Israel attest to, including some who have often openly made anti-semitic statements.

    I suspect the horse of CIA + MOSSAD support for Far-Right parties in Spain (and the rest of Europe) has long bolted from the stable, in which case it won’t be any worse if leftwing and even centrist European leaders cut off support for those nations, maybe even the opposite since those nations are already actively supporting their political adversaries.

    PS: Whilst I’m not in Spain, I am in next door Portugal, and you can be pretty damn sure that America as a nation are total buddy-buddies specifically with the mainstream Portuguese supposedly center-right party (only not really center anything, plus they have been drifitting even further rightwards in the last decade or two) which is the equivalent of the PP and is currently in government in Portugal (which is why Portugal has been supporting both the US and Israel, including in the slanted coverage - very much using the same tricks as the BBC and NYT - of the Genocide and the this war in the local Media aligned with that side of politics).





  • Any nation using nukes and getting away with it would trigger a massive nuclear race in the entire world as everybody tried to nukes (either to defend themselves from those with nukes since the possibility of nukes being used offensivelly had become a reality, or to themselves engage in wars of conquest using nukes against nations without nukes) and in a World with many more nuclear armed nations sooner or later other nations too would use nukes, in an escalating fashion, ultimatelly leading to nuclear war all over the planet and the end of our civilization as we know it and possibly even Humanity.

    This is why EVERYBODY, allies included, would turn against any nation that used nukes - it would be the only way to stop an escalation that would innevitably lead to a nuclear holocaust.

    For all their threats to do so, it’s not by chance that Russia did not use nukes in Ukraine: amongst others the Chinese made it very clear that any use of nuclear weapons was a hard red line for them.







  • The other option is that this was done by Israel, and we know from Gaza that they actually target children for the Terror effect and because they see Muslims as “vermin” so don’t really care that they’re children.

    I could totally see the Israeli military doing this on purpose “to break the spirit of Iranians” - I mean, the rest of the World has not punished Israel for doing exactly this in Gaza multiple times, so from that side they would get no downsides from committing more of such attrocities, whilst on the side of Israeli Public Opinion, given how widespread and normalized Racism is there (especially Islamophobia, with Muslims commonly described as “violent” and even “vermin”), they will probably get an uptick in public support from this.

    My personal theories on this are that it was either some American military person choosing a target based on satellite imagery and mistakenly picking the set of “buildings with a large patio” which is the school rather than the IRGC base or the Israelis purposefully doing it because they can and for them all Iranians are “vermin” hence the young ones too are just more “vermin”, not children.

    I don’t think the American Military is quite to the point of chosing to murder a school filled with children (though they have quite the track record from way back when they were droning Afghanistan of not caring all that much about large numbers of civilian casualties), but the Israeli Military have a lot of recent practice with purposefully targetting children of “vermin” races and are pretty much veterans at it.
