Iran preparing to attack US bases if US joins Israeli attack, with Iraq first target: Report

Iran has positioned military gear and missiles to strike US bases in the Middle East in preparation should the US join Israel in attacking the Islamic Republic, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

The US is already defending Israel from Iranian strikes and supplying it with military gear, but is not yet believed to be engaging directly in offensive operations.

Tehran is widely expected to retaliate to any US strikes by attacking American military bases.

The US has thousnads of troops in the Arabian Gulf, but the NYT says Iran is likely to start with attacks on Iraq.

Iraq is home to thousands of fighters who belong to pro-Iranian militias.

'China almost never interfere in the affairs of countries that doesn't share a border with it in its 5000 year history' this can be applied to any country or civilization ever. international affairs didn't really exist back. i don't think they were criticising dengism or anything

sorry, but that first sentence took me out if it. would've been better to say 'armenia brought it upon themselves' rather than what you went with considering the ethnic cleansing that occurred

"Well, I got him outside, just the two of us, and suddenly his history wasn't so fine, was it?"

The logos of major leftist parties within the imperial core are meant to compete with the logos of (other) parliamentary parties

Didn't think about it that way, makes a lot more sense now

 

I don't want to bash orgs like PVDA-PTB in Belgium, their logos look good visually but... they just don't have the same flare y'know? I wouldn't be willing to die for the PVDA flag, it just doesn't click in the same way Hezbollah's does. Maybe it's just that Arabic is an objectively superior alphabet, or something. You could never have good Latin text on a flag, only thing that came close was the RSFSR's flag and that's fucking Cyrillic. I hope someone can prove me wrong
