Khamenei, the dad, did seek martyrdom. Allegedly he had prostate cancer. Khamenei, the son, is allegedly in a coma. At this point, it sure seems like someone in the IRGC is flexing their muscles and taking advantage of the chaos inflicted.
On top of it all, this boomer leaves out the Soviets involvement in the revolution. They helped, then were shot or expelled for their efforts. To the point the Soviets also helped Saddam in the Iran-Iraq War. How fucked up in the head do you have to be to get the USA and Soviets on the same side in a war when Hollywood is starting to pump out nuclear war movies?
This boomer also overlooks that Iran was 2nd world and near 1st world under the shah. It sounds like, from what I've read, the shah was keeping the crazy twelvers in check. I know, I had a boss that took part in the revolution. He told me in 2010ish, whenever the Arab Spring was, that he thought the revolution was a mistake. I never could get him to talk about it much, but I tried. I wanted an insiders perspective. He really matured; let and encouraged his daughter to visit and experience different religions.
And yes. The twelvers are insane. Go look up what they believe. It's insane.
I'm against the war, not only because the kikes forced us, but the shia twelvers think their messiah is that much closer to revealing himself. To add to this, American evangelicals believe they are creating the conditions for Jesus returning. The kikes think they are creating the conditions for their messiah to arrive. There's a problem here, I believe everyone here is smart enough to see it. All three are likely the anti-Christ.
America won't win this war without ground troops and administering unhealthcare to every shia twelver. The American public doesn't have the stomach for a genocide. Iran is going to win because we don't make enough weapons to replace what we are using. The shahed drone they are using costs around $7000 to make in the USA; and we're firing 2 or 3 multi-million dollar missiles to knock one out of the sky. We currently don't make enough, and to keep up with what everyone is firing, we'll take about a year to catch up.
