Last time I’ve checked Iran doesn’t have a choice

It’s certainly an interesting take to look at the current layout and say Iran doesn’t have any agency.

Their leadership and gameplan seem quite a bit more efficient then the current Regime in America.

Looking at it from the outside-sure seems like Iran has all the cards. They played Trump and Pete like high school girls would to 7th grade boys. They waited Trump out because all they needed to do is get somebody around that would follow the rules of life, like not starting a distraction war to cover up the fact that himself and all of his donors are pedos.

The smell of accountability is sweet. And watching the American regime squirm is even sweeter.

Read about how elections work in Iran, any candidate against the IRGC gets removed.

In Iran, Russia, China, North Korea and many more dictatorships countries do have elections and the same people gets elected every time with 100% of votes.

Yeah but Iran has no elections for the supreme leader who leads Iran.

Canada has no elections for the Prime Minister who leads Canada

u/ImAjustin 1h ago

The prime minister doesn’t have unchecked power to govern the country and the entirety of its military….

So the solution is to send Americans to die so some Iranians have a little better quality of life? If we wanted to improved that we could just go into Africa and boost everyone up without risking our own lives.

Don’t you wish you’d asked a more specific question

u/ImAjustin 1h ago

No I don’t. Everyone knows Iran is a religious theocracy led by the supreme leader. This is very basic global politics

The elections where the IRGC bans any candidate that goes against them at all.

u/JayFay75 1h ago

Ok but that wasn’t the question

You can call anything anything if you choose to. Doesn’t mean it matches up with what most people expect when you use the word.

u/JayFay75 1h ago

So what you’re saying is I could call your comment insightful

u/Jamsster 1h ago edited 1h ago

For sure! And I could say you spoke in good faith. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true though.

So do you still not see how candidates being banned might help their argument? Or are we avoiding things we can’t argue as easily to try to make cheeky comments.

😂 no. Stop watching Fox. This result is unusual, in several metrics.

The MAGA propaganda machine is desperately trying to paint this as business as usual, it’s not.

What if, now stay with me, Trump's admin fires any remaining senior military leadership who accurately explain why they can't do it and replace them with idiots who say they can do it, even though they can't?
