*years in the future, JSDF briefing Room* "Gentlemen, this is Iran's new seasonal rom-com characters." *pounds table* "WE CANNOT AFFORD A WAIFU GAP!"

'Take' is doing a lot of work here that doesn't really make sense in the context of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, 'perfidious Albion' (and France in neighboring places) doing its thing in the aftermath of that with the creation of Mandatory Palestine, and subsequent collapse of the British...

It makes sense in a way. Iran just successfully captured 'Taipei" for their friends in the PRC--something the CCP has wanted since the 50s. Undoubtedly there's some IRGC commander who is very proud of himself because his geography knowledge is a bit...subpar.

Yes, and he shouldn't have been--at least not in such an avenue as referencing 'sites important to Iranian culture'. It doesn't put any distance between the Islamic Republic and Iranian people or culture--and the one is not a good reflection of the other, as years of protests suppressed through...

So, if sporadic and limited videos of the Iranian protests are to be believed, this round seems significantly more violent than the various rounds of protesting the Green Movement has attempted in the last decade (there's alleged video of burning banks and police stations, allegations of...

Oh yeah. Ajax and Boot were shitshow, cowboy operations from start to finish banking on 'we're America! Everyone loves us!' and 'We're Britain, we can't be outsmarted by a bunch of colonials!' that might as well have been headed by Kermit the frog as opposed to Kermit Roosevelt for how much...

I would like to point out--because it's becoming something like my internet...little thing that sets me off (there's a word/phrase for this, but I'm having a brain-fart)...But while presenting the Shah as a puppet is fair, pointing to Mossadegh as 'the legitimate government' isn't really...
