Trita Parsi spoke of this a while back. iirc he said around 10% of Iranians in the US supported some form of actions against Iran back in 2010 - and that now at the start of this conflict it had increased to around 25-30% (from good polling). So this is still a minority - and that is only the Iranian diaspora in the US. So it is definitely NOT a majority position even outside of Iran, but of course it is elevated in the propaganda as if it is 99% of all Iranians inside and outside of the country lol.

What? Fascist propaganda in my racist newspaper?

Anyway -- I wonder how soon the western media will start referring to Hitler as a "divisive nationalist figure"

This will in many ways make or break India in the coming decades - hopefully it forces good changes since it will have lasting effects on many parts of the world if central Asia becomes inhabitable. I guess only the future will tell.

As the Swedish idiom goes "Kärt barn har många namn" ~ "A dear [loved] child has many names"

We have much the same here in Sweden - do you think there is any ground to take considering the state of our societies? I find myself just contemplating moving out of here, which is a bit defeatist of course but it is tiring to permanently fight against the broader conscious of your country. Every news segment, every headline, every opinion article is just constant and constant ill disguised fascism, chauvinism, amerikkka-simping or something else.

my country (Sweden) had mandatory sterilization of trans people until the big 2013 - but worry not, we have come a long way and it is amazing how much can change in 10 years (we are worse now)

I agree that in material costs the US is in a better position to wait it out - however, most of the wars waged by amerikkka throughout history have ended due to mounting domestic political cost. What is interesting now is that alot of former alies of the US regime are turning against it publicly, so it might be that even if they could win the game of chicken in theory - it is too high of a cost politically.

I agree that Israel seems to have accelerated their expansionist project, it is very interesting to see politicians in my region (EU) continue to try and justify it. I wonder if this will be the final nail in the coffin for the perceived "humane & liberal values" that the broader western conscious still attributes our states. (obviously most organized people now it's a sham, but you'd be surprised the shift that has occured in the minds of the general un-organized populace these last few years)

What do you think guys? After yet another week of thruth social posts and back-to-back statements from both parties - will this be the week where we see either an escalation or an agreement? Now that the US regime is back from China, are they more inclined to pursue military action or will this just continue to fissle out without much progress?

It is obvious that both sides are quite far from eachother (mostly stemming from the US continuing to push for maximalist concessions), still the most immediate suffering seems to be felt by the people in Lebanon, Palestine and Iran.

The pleasure is mine, I also forgot this page which is quite thorough: https://informedleftist.weebly.com/dprk.html

And heavily recommend watching the Boy boy - We Went To North Korea To Get A Haircut youtube video with her, it is quite light-hearted and just 20 minutes long.
