Iranically Iran, Middle East’s Karen…
- Thread starter Ron in Regina
- Start date
(and a couple others indirectly)
Russia, China, North Korea, Belarus and Iran.
Then there are other smaller players...Cuba, Venezuela UAE etc.
That’s a list and not a definition, but these are all allies of Iran, aren’t they?
No idea where Canada stands, but opposing those above currently are Ukraine, America, Israel, Poland & some others in the EU, etc…
Their existence and actions define their dictatorship status.
Perhaps in all fairness, ironically (or Iranically in this case) the dictatorships should define themselves, & their proxies can decide in a vote (
) if they want to be included in the definition by raising their right hands?
(Hezbollah can be excused from this vote)

Yes internally over their domain. Collective efforts of several nations don't fit that definition.Perhaps in all fairness, ironically (or Iranically in this case) the dictatorships should define themselves, & their proxies can decide in a vote (

Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran's official position has been to not recognize the State of Israel, often employing pejorative terminology in its rhetoric, with Iranian officials and state-controlled media frequently refer to Israel as the "Zionist regime" and "Occupied Palestine".
The use of the term "Zionist rigime" instead of "State of Israel" in Iranian discourse implies that Israel is not a legitimate sovereign state but rather an oppressive regime. The people of Israel are often labeled not as Israelis but as “Zionists", furthering the narrative of illegitimacy.
For example: “Ali Baqeri Kani emphasized the need for Islamic nations to adopt a unified stance, develop coherent policies, and take practical steps to counter the threats posed by the Zionist regime. In his remarks, Baqeri Kani highlighted the grave consequences of Israel's actions over the past ten months, pointing to the killing of innocent and unarmed civilians with advanced U.S. weaponry.” In response to?? & no mention of Iranian Proxies Hamas & Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah and Houthis?? Or their actions?? How very queer??
Such rhetoric has been consistent in Iranian media, especially in English-language publications targeting international audiences. Delegitimization is seen by some observers to be a double standard which separates Israel from other legitimate nations which have imperfect government.
Dore Gold, President of the Israeli think tank Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA), believes there is a "campaign to delegitimize Israel" based on three themes: a "denial of Israel's right to security", "portrayal of Israel as a criminal state", and "denial of Jewish history".
Elhanan Yakira, professor of philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, also considers portrayal of Israel as "criminal" and denial of Jewish history, specifically the Holocaust, to be key to a delegitimizing narrative.
Alan Dershowitz believes that other standard lines of argument include claims of Israel's "colonial" nature, a belief that statehood was not granted "legally", the apartheid analogy, and the necessity of a one-state solution. According to Irwin Cotler, the lopsided number of anti-Israel resolutions passed by the UN is an example of delegitimization.
As of 2022, 28 of the 193 UN member states do not recognize Israeli sovereignty; the Muslim world accounts for 25 of the 28 non-recognizing countries, with Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela representing the remainder.
Iran stands as the foremost state sponsor of terrorism, providing billions of dollars in financial, logistical and intelligence support to murderous organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. These groups in turn, perpetrate violence and destabilize the region. Additionally, the Iranian regime openly advocates for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Jewish population in Israel.

Iran's Wonderland - Lies, Hypocrisy, And Paradoxes
"It's a strange world, sweetheart," said one of modern Iran's greatest poets Ahmad Shamlou, when he highlighted paradoxes in the post-revolution Iran a few decades ago.

Before the agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, it’s someone else’s turn to hunt backwards from that point, but it probably wasn’t a Palestinian state.
My point is that that junk, sorry…chunk of ground is a hot potato, & it’s “ownership” has changed often, and will probably change often again in the future if history is any indicator of potential future events.
So Yukon, NWT and Nunavut are up for the taking?
Before Nunavut there was NWT
Before the NWT was Rupert's Land
Before Rupert's Land there were explorers.
Before explorers there were Vikings
Before the Vikings there were Inuit...
Etc etc etc

I would take your army with you just in case, as in pretty much all of the examples above, but it’s Yukon, NWT and Nunavut so it might be years before anybody notices you’re even there….& by that point you might have squatters rights??
I’m saying bodies are thin on the ground up there in people/square kilometre. It’s your prerogative to desire if the few people up there are human or not I guess?
God gave it to me. I'll just round up the non-humans and only let them out of their cage to work building my empire for 12hrs a day.
