Soroush feels that the lives of Iranians have turned into a game for the country’s leaders and for Western powers. He points to the betting website Polymarket, where many have bet thousands of dollars on a US strike on the night of 31 January.
“Our lives and our deaths have become entertainment,” he said. “A game for others.”
It takes a special kind of soulless degenerate to bet on war and death like this. Western society is rotten to the core.
Saba, 41, spoke of her fear for the future of her eight-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. She also described her frustration with the government’s repression, the self-interest of opposition figures abroad, and the US warmongering.
“What a miserable people we are,” she said. “Our rulers massacre people in the streets. Reza Pahlavi has become the face of our opposition abroad. And our enemy is a fool like Donald Trump.”
Amen, Saba. I couldn’t agree with you more. What a sad state that or so called leaders keep us divided when we so clearly share more in common with each other than we do our own leaders.
