Herstory Begins Now posted:Yes he is a real guy and he has been calling for sunni shia rapprochement for quite a long time Yeah, Sumaidaie seems to be one of the more Iran-friendly Sunni clerics - not to say he never criticised them, but his default state is friendliness. He's also not immensely popular with Iraqi Sunnis.

1994 Toyota Celica posted:there's a wonderful phrase coined by limousine lib historian Barbara Tuchmann to describe how Austria-Hungary stumbled into the first world war: "the bellicose frivolity of senile empires." That's a good quote. Pithy.

Operation Ajax is one of my favorite examples of blowback due to US incompetence and hatred of democratically elected leftists. Also the whole thing was about oil at the end of the day since the leftist government was going to nationalize the entire oil industry in Iran.

what the gently caress is it with the US and murdering medical personnel, it's like all of their guided munitions have a built-in doctor-seeking functionality the invasion of Grenada lasted like three days and was against a microstate the size of Fort Lauderdale with no military whatsoever, and the US still managed to firebomb a hospital

They blew up the wrong car either because they're incompetent or because they have such contempt for Arab lives that they decided a 50/50 shot to either blow up some guy we declared a terrorist at lunchtime or some medics was worth it

The genuinely terrifying question, though, is how Trump would handle a serious military defeat. He can escalate harder than anyone else on Earth, and I'm not sure there's anyone willing and able to talk him down.
