ttbn,

So much unbiased nonsense from the far right 'Spectator', why not 'Sky After Dark' just as trustworthy!

Hi Paul,

The scoop on Australian university/Iranian drone research was by The Guardian.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/14/academics-in-us-uk-and-australia-collaborated-on-drone-research-with-iranian-university-close-to-regime

It seems that apologists for, and supporters of, 7th. Century mullahs and Communists will need to have throat lozenges ready for more screeching if Donald Trump decides to do over Cuba as well.

Yesterday, Trump said Cuba is “going to fall pretty soon”. He claims that Cuba, obviously aware of what Trump ‘might’ do to their vile government following Iran, wants to do a deal, and he will send Cuban-heritage Marco Rubio over there for a chat.

Rubio is being spoken of as an alternative to JD Vance as next President.

People make their own world. I want to give them information on which I base mine, e.g. Paul claims your story to be far right nonsense, so I point out that it originally came from The Guardian.

Ultimately in this thread I would like people to think about what life is like for people in places like Iran and Gaza and compare those lives to a life in a western democracy. Then they might consider the apparent contradiction of western nations engaging in international terrorism and autocratic hell holes engaging internationally to promote freedom and human rights.

Regime change in Iran, Venezuela and Cuba won't win Trump the peace prize, but it would make him an historically significant president.

Hi Fester,
"I have no idea how the conflict will go, but good on you for putting forward a prediction."

I don't really have any idea how bad this entire mess will turn out, but this M/E thing is not the same as Russia / Ukraine.

This one is a clash of all 3 Abrahamic religions, that could be shaped by some for end times prophecies, and I'm not kidding when I say that.

I asked Grok 'can you explain the different interpretations of gog and magog in end times prophecies and what they mean to each religion'

(Something for me to read up on later)

I watched your video, thanks for sharing.
- Quite repressive, I don't like seeing being treated that way

I may support Russia, China and Iran, but I told you it's complicated.
I never said I support Islam or Sharia Law.
I'm fairly sure I've stated in the past I oppose religious law, I'm not particularly fond of religions that much tbh.
Religious beliefs might get some to heaven but it also gets a lot of people killed, and the good doesn't outweigh the bad.

Some people say ethics come from religion, I'm not sure about that but I'd argue that religion also corrupts real ethics.

My reasons for supporting Russia, China and Iran are bigger than just the smaller domestic issues relating to each nation, it's moreso that I support a multipolar world rather than the U.S. dominated unipolar world.

You know how peeved I got over all the needless Palestinian deaths, Iran s the only one supporting them, they will be taken care of (and not in a nice way) if the current Iranian leadership falls.

At the end of the day, it's probably just as much about America stealing oil, so they can service their massive debts.

I think there's now 5 or 6 aircraft carriers preparing for operations. Not just the Lincoln and Ford, but also the carrier George Bush, Nimitz, and a French and British aircraft carrier.

I'm not certain Russia and China will stay on the sidelines.

Regarding the women of Iran, there are some things I wish to share.
I understand Iran seems to have become a lot less repressive, but how much I couldn't really say because I haven't been there to see for myself.

This is the picture you are drawing

But here's some other info, though I haven't fact checked it.
It seems in some areas Iran puts the West to shame when it comes to women...

http://x.com/AryJeay/status/1602702373327101954
Female literacy rate in Iran is 99.3%
Maternal mortality in Iran is 16% (ref: US=19%)
There are 16,111 sports clubs for women
3,302 medals won by female athletes (internationally)
Unemployment rate of women is 13.7%

Scroll down under the image and there's a lot more facts on that x thread

http://x.com/dlLambo/status/2030201910829936655
There are more educated women in Iran than in the U.S
There are more female doctors in Iran than the U.S
There are more female municipal and local leaders in Iran than the U.S.

70% of Iran's science and engineering graduates are now women.

I've also heard that Israel has been conducting numerous false flags to blame on Iran, trying to bomb oil refineries and such.
(And if you can do what they did in Gaza one would assume they're certainly not constrained by ideas of 'right' and 'wrong')
- Israels ends justifies any and ALL means.

Also, ttbn also often mentions the 'Uniparty'
The thing that makes Republicans and democrats the same is the neoconservatives in each party, so it doesn't matter who wins, foreign policy remains.

So out I curiosity I looked up...

Google? 'Australian Neoconservatives'

AI Overview
Australian neoconservatives are a political faction combining traditional social conservatism, free-market economics, and an interventionist, morally driven foreign policy, particularly focused on countering Chinese influence.
. Influenced by U.S. counterparts, this group advocates for a robust national security stance, strong alliance with the U.S., and a focus on "Australian values".
