Encouraging Iranians to tweet out #IranRegimeChange is tantamount to having them commit treason. You'd have to be insane to do that if you actually lived in the country. These are all the old ghouls and their families who tortured people for the Shah.

Theoretical Iranian regime change would probably not lead to a government that the United States/Salafis want. The diaspora Iranians I know are left-leaning but also extremely nationalist.

That thread's degeneracy from late 2016 into barely veiled contempt for non-Jihadist factions in the country is pretty cool.

US 'concerned' about possible Assad operation in southwest Syria

quote:

The Trump administration late Friday voiced concerns about an "impending" operation by Bashar Assad's forces in Syria that it says will fall inside the boundaries of a U.S.-enforced de-escalation zone.

wow weird. why is the us concerned by a sovereign government conducting an operation in its own nation???

Good tip for everyone if you start discussing this war with family pointing out Assad is the sovereign government and can ask Iran and Russia for help it doesn't go down well

volkerball deserves a lot of poo poo but i respect him for just out and out saying "syria has no sovereignty" that was real cool to just say outright, like that. too many people who definitely believe that tiptoe around the issue in a gross pantomime of diplomacy. nah. gently caress that nation. it looked at me funny.

i'm being serious.

The sovereignty issue isn't even that relevant, because it boils down to international rules lawyering. The important thing is that one side wants to restore the state, and the other side wants warlordism. It's like trying to lecture the Kuomintang/Communist alliance for the Northern Expedition.

Sovereignty is a reactionary as gently caress idea that basically only works if you are a liberal idealist. Nation-states are a fictional entity dreamed up to support capital, they have no rights to hold their population. The idea that authority is bound to territory and nationality makes world revolution impossible.

Nationality (and hence national sovereignty) is a innate value judgment that cannot coexist with true democracy.
