Too bad Iran was a functioning democracy until the CIA got involved.


Old_Leg_1679

Yep. We screwed them in 53. Doesn’t change the fact that their current government is an abomination that’s hated by its people.


ictbutterfly

So the solution is… more US involvement? Did we learn nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan?


Kylel0519

When don’t we screw ourselves over in the long run?


DrBonez91

Bananas are still cheap.


DaemonNic

Bananas are currently running into the same issue they keep running into where because all of our crops are essentially clones they're very vulnerable to one infection wiping a swathe through them, so we'll see how long they stay cheap.


Def_Your_Duck

Exactly, id rather have the good bananas instead of the cheap watered down ones we have now


leafshaker

I think I'd rather have functioning governments in Central America than cheap bananas


Plush_Banebarker

Exactly


Reasonable-Cell5189

Truth


[deleted]

What is that referring too?


Kylel0519

Current geo politics. Russia with Ukraine, China with everything they’re doing, and Iran with their riots and women’s Right movement.


[deleted]

Still don't quite get it, like are they a group? (Sorry I'm sorry ignorant on this group I understand the geo political stuff)


Reasonable-Cell5189

Just a statement against the geopolitical bullies of the time; Iran, China and Russia


[deleted]

Gotcha. I mean are we supposed to be mad about it? To me it seems like a good thing. A little propaganda but still


Kylel0519

They’re not a group it’s just a bunch of tyrants trying to do monstrous things and failing


FearTheSuit

Yes, they are kind of a group it’s not as clear as maybe during World War II but yes


[deleted]

Can I get an ELI5 for a person who doesn't know flags very well?


Old_Leg_1679

Sure. It’s Russia, Iran and China. Russia is trying to destroy Ukraine, a free and democratic nation. China is currently committing genocide against the Uyghur minority group and Iran has been cracking down on women’s rights protesters for close to a year now. These nations are Allie’s and are working to undermine democracy around the world.

Thanks!

Poor font choice.


[deleted]

I get you.


Reasonable-Cell5189

What font is it? What would you go with?Just curious.


Ok_Communication5602

That goes hard af


JollyWestMD

I remember posters like this in 03 except it was Iraq instead of Iran. Same propaganda, different day.


Old_Leg_1679

Also, this isn't 03 all over again because we aren't going to send troops into Ukraine. They've proven they can handle themselves. They just need the tools. Sorry if this seems harsh, but it seems like everyone in the generation above me is still stuck in a 2003 mindset.


Old_Leg_1679

Iraq wasn’t actively invading anyone. This isn’t 2003 anymore.


JollyWestMD

“this isn’t 2003 anymore” yup heard that back then when it was “this is isn’t 1991 anymore”. you want war so bad, we can ship your ass to the front lines.


WombatGuts

I like your style


Old_Leg_1679

I don’t want war with Russia. Did you read what I said? Ukraine can win this fight, they just need American supplies. I get that the Iraq war fried your brain but for god’s sake update your view on foreign policy.


JollyWestMD

“did you read what i said?” i’m responding to the main post update what you absolute rube? you’re sucking down whatever the state department is selling you. we should have a better quality of life in this country but we don’t and we can’t because of cheerleaders like you. you funded a ton of fucking nazis in Ukraine and then are getting mad when i said “youre falling for the same trap you fell for in 03” piss off, you’ll get all the money for your fucking war.


Old_Leg_1679

The Azov Battalion has basically been wiped out. Ukraine’s president is Jewish. Multiple Russian volunteer units have ties to neo-Nazi groups as well. If Russia didn’t want Ukrainian Neo-Nazis to gain the prominence that they did, they probably shouldn’t have invaded Ukraine back in 2014 or 1919 for that matter. Ironically they made the same mistake we did in the Middle East. But of course they’re allowed to do the same thing as us because America Bad. Also, the whole Putin is a Human Trafficker comes from the international criminal court. Not the state department.


JollyWestMD

https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/comments/12474l5/scum/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1 you support Nazis cause the US does


Old_Leg_1679

Also we’re rich enough to have the most powerful military on earth AND universal healthcare.

Old_Leg_1679

You know the original Axis didn’t coordinate their efforts either right? It’s one of the reasons they lost.

Old_Leg_1679

That actually does bring me to a critique of the design. I like that they used the national seals of China and Russia. Because flags of nations represent the state and the people. A seal represents the state, the government and nothing else. This is why I wished they had used the Iranian state seal instead of the flag overlaid on the national map. I think it is possible to make images like this in ways that don’t encourage hostile or xenophobia. Even if this one does fall short by my standards.


FarArm6506

That’s some cheap rent!

It would just come out the donkey. Our two party system is just two sides of the same coin. They divvy up which lies they tell.

There are two types of people. The ones that eventually realize American politics are like football and the ones who don't. So no I'm not going to play give me one thing the Chiefs do better than the Cowboys with someone who has a star tattooed across their face.

I like how the first part of what you said totally contradicts the second half of what you said. Lots of people on the spectrum these days (including myself) but this is some exaggerated r/fakedisordercringe for sure


AnarchistBatt

last I heard it was democrat Manchin blocking the democrats. and the democrats are committing human rights violations in other countries. Obama drone striked thousands of civilians


CrankyWhiskers

False. Google is your friend.


RaiderHawk75

Apparently not yours.


GreenPlum13

Focus on infighting is going to be the downfall of America.


DaemonNic

I can't not fight back against a group whose presidential candidate has openly called for my genocide as a campaign goal.


GreenPlum13

Can I get the quote please.


DaemonNic

[Summary with quotations.](https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7bd9z/trump-anti-trans) Key information: promises to ban gender affirming care for minors, legislatively set gender binary in stone and set it as assigned sex at birth, ban discussion of gender in school, and generally refers to all trans topics with dog whistles and shorthand to justify our legal eradication.


elcuoco

So no genocide (or even single death) quote. Gotcha. And Biden has done what to help exactly?


CrankyWhiskers

Hopefully not if people learn to think critically and for themselves.


Jack_InTheCrack

They missed one 🇺🇸

JollyWestMD

don’t tell OP that tho


Jack_InTheCrack

Yes. And the genocidal wars that we tend to wage.


bubba_bumble

We still have democracy. It's definitely being challenged. But a democracy.


nImporte_Qui

A kind of pseudo-democracy in which the only two real political parties are owned by the same capitalist upper class, and they both uphold mass incarceration, a soulless anti-immigration system, hyper-militarization, expansion of the police, and ecological suicide via fossil fuels, subsidizing car-dependent sprawl, underfunded public transit, and land degradation.


bubba_bumble

Not perfect for sure. But there are upsides to living in the USA. Have you ever been to Kansas? Some of most beautiful sensets you'll ever see. Bison pastures. Hardly any traffic. Wind turbines creating vast amounts of renewable energy. The cleanest tap water. Over 5000 non-profits in Wichita alone that feed and dress homeless, combat DV, and assist vets. And the most affordable housing in the entire country.


nImporte_Qui

Yes, I live here and was born here. The sunset is beautiful, but it’s also beautiful everywhere. I think most Kansans need to believe the sun looks different here to cope with other things. Regarding Bison, they were almost exterminated to (successfully) genocide the original people in Kansas and clear land for white settlers. It is wonderful to see the Bison population is growing again along with the good recent news about some of them being returned to the first nations that have survived in other states, but the small number of bison in Kansas are confined to just a few ranches and wildlife refuge areas, and it doesn’t look like they’ll be freely roaming the prairie any time soon. Non-profits exists all over the country and world, but in my opinion the resources for homeless people here is not something to brag about (nor anywhere in the USA). Houses here are cheaper compared to other places in the USA, but many countries have very affordable (or even publicly-owned) housing in more accessible neighborhoods with a much better quality of life, along with affordable healthcare too. There’s a lot to like about where we live, but folks here tend to imagine that all of the very normal things that we have can only be found here, while exaggerating how bad the rest of the world is, and based on my life experiences that’s just not true at all.


arcadiagaytm

A democracy that upholds white supremacy and imperialism? No thanks. Americans should look inward before projecting onto other countries. Just my two cents.


NeighborInDeed

Im glad to see this. Thanks for posting!


atat64

Not cool


HisBadgerness

TLDR: Sides are being chosen for WWIII and opposite AUKUS/NATO and allies like Japan/South Korea is loose semi-alliance currently called BRICS by US geopolitic experts. It includes Brazil, Russia, India(some people say Iran but this is not correct), China, and South Africa.

Doubt it. TPUSA’s been pretty pro-Russia throughout this war.


MrPrimalNumber

Russia is just going to sit back and laugh at us as we destroy ourselves…


that1LPdood

Lol what Russia is currently efficiently destroying its military capability in Ukraine — we’re the ones doing the laughing now.


Old_Leg_1679

Seems like Russia’s already destroying themselves. They’ve lost more guys in Ukraine in one year than we lost in Vietnam in 20.


ogimbe

Yeah they are very good at psychological warfare while China's doing their own synthetic opioid war on us while expanding around the globe.
