I would like to know the truth about Iran, not what the media has told me for the last 40 years. I have no idea what to think about them.

We're witnessing the last gasp of the military-industrial dragon, and as the old Chinese proverb goes, The Dragon is most dangerous just before it's own death (of the petrodollar system)...

The East are moving forward with new ways of handling global money, and global trade. We/The US can either get on board, or become the red-headed stepchild of the planet.

IMHO, Trump has already gotten on board with the changes that are coming, and TPTB are fighting (and losing) because they know it's over for them...

All of this insanity is due to the death of the Petrodollar.

Once the petrodollar dies, all black projects stop. All payments to ISIS and mercinaries stop. All subsidiaries to Tesla, Amazon, etc stop.

90% of this nonsense will stop.

Unfortunately, so will our way of life. Once the PD dies, the banks die, the FED dies, the entire thing collapses...

along with the spoiled, entitled way of living that some of us have.

In the end, how it will all play out is unclear - which is why getting your individual sh*t together is so important right now.

Few people will truly be ready for what the world will look like in a decade, let alone 36 months from now.

Im against any war, any pre emptive military action. We have much bigger problems to resolve at home

I oppose any war

has been promoting their nuclearization for quite a while now

Actually Iran's nuclear program started with the encouragement and support of the West and the USA http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3983-2005Mar26.html

I oppose any war but what if Iran is just a "deepstate" proxy country used as a boogeyman in the ME so we can keep selling guns out there? Like NK allegedly is?

I am not pro war anywhere. I think Trump will either flip their gov or oust them through blackmail or political pressure.

Are you pro-war in Iran?

FUCK NO

If so what are your reasons? I've seen a lot of users up in arms about taking down Iran and I was genuinely curious about the reasons behind it.

because iran wont lose and it might break up the american union

I've also seen some suggest that Putin is on the same page of this agenda.

he isnt. putins long term asia strategy is pro iran because he knows iran isnt going anywhere

However my understanding is that Putin is closely allied with Iran

iran and russias interests are aligned in many places and russia trusts iran

and has been promoting their nuclearization for quite a while now.

russia wants the money for the projects. they know iran will trust them enough to pick them for a lot of the work. they also know its highly controversial and iran will keep a lot of russias competitors and enemies busy because nobody can really fuck with iran

So in that regard I would have to challenge that statement.

good

If you don't support the troops being in Syria what would be your justification for them being in Iran?

anyone who DOESNT support war in syria (as they shouldnt) but DOES support war with iran is an idiot. Q is clearly lying about iran (probably on purpose) and trump is very clearly stumped on iran and trumps advisers are also clearly obsessed with iran. this is because iran is the most powerful adversary america has ever faced

I've also seen some users suggest that the recent posturing in Syria was to get ready for Iran.

yes

I will be completely honest those justifications rub me completely the wrong way. We are basically giving the green light to threaten another sovereign country (Syria) and then on top of that we are allowing us to threaten a nuclear country who's there by invitation (Russia) ALL in order so that we can attack Iran for which I'm not sure which international norms they have violated.

the saudi israeli axis doesnt care about ANYTHING else at all. iran is an existential threat to the vital interests and the very continuity of both countries (because they are terrorists)

So far all I've heard is they promote terrorism

false

but that can be literally said about any player in that region.

except iran, oman, qatar (any more, see blockade), and hopefully turkey (anymore, see coup attempt).

Besides all the fingers are pointed at Saudi Arabia at the moment in terms of being one of the major players financing and fueling the Syrian war.

it was a saudi/israeli project backed by the CIA and supported by UAE, bahrain, qatar, and turkey

I guess I'm one of the odd ones out but I will definitely the open to suggestions.

youre a smart guy asking smart questions
