America could have easily won in both nations had the American public been willing to accept the slaughter of millions of innocent non-combatants (rather than the tens to hundreds of thousands of non-combatant deaths they are ok with).

Arab unity involving Iran? You know Iranians are mostly Persians, right?

Iranians tend not to be Arabs given their history as the nation of Persian peoples.

Because as we all know Persian and Arab Muslims stick together through thick and thin, right? /s

I haven’t looked at the sub in a bit but that sub is actually becoming conservative again. That is to say there are actual conservative minded liberals advocating for the kinds of policy the GOP was pushing in the 1990s not the neofascism of the Trump era.

That’s a joke, right?

I wouldn’t want this Iranian government to have nukes though

The difference is the people who compiled the Bible at the Council of Nicea believed in it to varying degrees. The guy who wrote the Hobbit knew it was fiction.

Are youasking me to refer a book about the CCP’s treatment of religious communities?

Im not being pedantic. If you think Israel is a theocratic state you have no idea what a theocracy is. If your understanding of philosophy is so underdeveloped what value could your opinion have?

They can offer proof that’s the book that claims there’s an omnipresent being.

Both are making claims and neither can substantiate it. The difference is the more mainstream religious folk tend to recognize this whereas many atheists seem not to.

You need to crack open a book desperately if that’s your current perspective because Im not talking about churches. You absolutely have bigoted atheists, who murder theists. China loves murdering religious folk.

There are tons of atheists who are bigots.

IMO A kid from Palestine put it best in my first IR class “Why did my grandparents have to lose their home and everything in it because of European anti-semitism?”

Israel isn’t a theocratic state. Im not sure why you would even suggest that it was as their PM is not a religious figure.

The wikipedia article on the incident was my source.

Yeah Engels take on authoritarianism is dated and not really valid given that his ideologies do not result in anything other than authoritarian states IRL.

Most rational people oppose authoritarianism.

According to the official numbers there were ten civilians killed for every state agent of oppression.

But the Russian ties are a hoax, right?
