iranians call the british “the old fox” and the americans “the new fox” and I think thats hillarious
Very apt because the US’s middle east balkanization strategies are straight from the Brits playbook.
Yeah I wonder why
Anti-britbong Action
Them renaming Winston Churchill Boulevard to Bobby Sands Street (where the UK embassy was located) was a pretty good one lol
I yearn to be an Iranian
Anglophobia is based
Yes I am anglophobic how did you know? 😎
Iran is not based. It is a theocratic, authoritarian country where all communist parties are banned. Just because it’s anti-British does not mean it is based.
Indeed, but being pro-British would make it even less based
Didn’t US backed anticommunism play a part in the current state of things?
Iran has more elements of socialism than you would think. They are a strange blend of reactionary and progressive. It’s complicated. Their anti-imperialism and support for the cause of Palestinian liberation should not be downplayed. They are an essential player in the region and applying black and white thinking doesn’t help.
If we can have a nuanced view of Russia and its role in the world, despite its reactionary and capitalist elements, we should also be able to look at Iran objectively.
