    Literally the only way the Iranians were able to throw off the imperial yoke was to establish the theocracy. That’s the historical reality. The Iranians already went democratic and they got fucking owned by the imperialists. Why do we think it’s going to be different this time when the US just fucking bombed them less than 12 months ago?

    The Iranian missile program is one the most efficient in the world. It is completely indigenous, not relying on foreign governments to keep their deterrence systems in place. Each piece of material produced in Iran is produced by Iranian workers, and can be up to 90% cheaper than equivalent munitions of their adversaries. The idea that missile production is why Iranians are in trouble is ridiculous. It’s literally one of the key reasons Israel and the US don’t feel confident enough to go for a full frontal assault on the country. The job of the government is national defense and Iran was doing a good job at that until last year when Israel dealt a devastating blow, and the only thing that stopped Israel going further were the Iranian’s missiles.

    If you think Iran is helping Israel in order to create the political theater they need to control their people, you are lost in delusion.
