Oh, Donny boy, your planes, your planes are falling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The Yanks are gone, and you like rats are crawling,
Itâs you, itâs you, to blame for those who died
You ran like hell when you got hit with some ammo
Your orange face, it turned to white as snow,
Iran will be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Donny boy, oh Donny boy, we laugh at you so!
Iâd say there almost certainly wonât be, and if there is, it will either be brutally crushed with mass executions to follow, or some equally vicious despot will seize power.
I hope you are right, but I canât see it.
The middle class donât do armed revolt.
Youre just making that last bit up. You have no idea how the world would have turned without western interference in the middle east. I doubt it would have ended up much worse.
Ya how could you tell if, propping up the Shah in Iran, then arming Saddam to oppose Iran when their puppet fell, pivoting to the Saudis and giving them free reign to do whatever they want and arming them to the teeth as long as they sold them oil and traded it only in USD, attempting a coup in Syria, backing Israel no matter what, invading the Middle East but not toppling Saddam, going back to finish the job a decade later arming a load of militias all over Iraq with no idea what theyâd do next, arming a load of militias all over Syria with no idea what theyâd do next, signing then pulling out of a nuclear deal with Iran, made the situation in the Middle East worse or better
A senior Iranian official said Tehran is considering 13 scenarios to avenge Suleimaniâs killing, according to the state-backed Fars news agency.
âWe will take revenge, a hard and definitive revenge,â the head of Iranâs Revolutionary Guards, General Hossein Salami, told mourners in Kerman.
Iranâs Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and military commanders have said Iranian retaliation for the US action on Friday would match the scale of Soleimaniâs killing but that it would be at a time and place of Tehranâs choosing.
Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said 13 ârevenge scenariosâ were being considered, Fars news agency reported. Even the weakest option would prove âa historic nightmare for the Americans,â he said.
If you had bothered to read my post, you would know I wasnât talking about the ME, I was talking about the US and itâs support for capitalism. I agree western involvement in the ME has been destructive.
We absolutely do know that the alternatives to capitalism are much worse, we can look at the history of the USSR and every other country that adopted a communist model.
