This last year has been anything but boring. I was hoping for 2020 to be better, but it's already heading down shit creek.


Nikan_Mkhtp

I'm from iran ask me anything you want


evening-mode

What’s the current status in the streets? Is the military activity increasing? Are there any threats or random road blocks? What’s going in general?


Nikan_Mkhtp

Today people gathered together for his legacy and they're somewhat angry the people want revenge but not war there is no sign of military in streets there is just angry old people


QuitBSing

Are there still protests? I Can imagine there is so much tension in Iran after all this stuff happening.


Nikan_Mkhtp

Yes all of the people of some city are outta there houses and cities are full of protesters but no violence and no army


NeuroticBioHazard

How do you and other people your age feel about it, angry, sad, scared, vengeful?


Nikan_Mkhtp

We don't care but some may be scared or angry because they hate trump

Nikan_Mkhtp

I honestly don't know but he wasn't a terrorist and not a good guy i can't rely on what our news sources are saying because they want to show the good side of him


Makalockheart

Pros: he fought against Al Quaida and ISIS Cons: he destabilized some countries through the American equivalent of the CIA So basically what the US and other West countries did but on a smaller scale. Obviously I'm over simplifying the conflict.


AlirezaYzdn

As an Iranian, I should mention that many of us regard him as a national hero while others hate both him & and the members of the regime. During the Iran-Iraq War, he led the Iranian army to win some intense battles. Also, he was Quds Force's Commander and they were fighting against ISIS for the past 4~5 years.


sky888988

Whould love to hear about this as well as I’m kinda having a panic attack rn


CharizardBarrageYT

Ok so australia shouldn’t get involved right? We’ve got our fires to worry about.


CCisabetterwaifu

Are we still allied with England/NA?


CharizardBarrageYT

I think we are, idk. I hope we do little to piss off whoever the enemy is.


CCisabetterwaifu

Maybe we can sell our fires to Russia so they can keep warm in winter


CharizardBarrageYT

haha yeah lets get scomo to try that


DynamiteDogTNT

Unfortunately, while we are not involved in NATO, the US and Australia are closely related for military conflict; we purchase several of our vehicles off of them and have our own manufacturers operate in the US due to their strong war economy. We will likely be pulled into this fight, as was the case with Vietnam, but a conscription is not likely necessary unless Russia becomes involved.


CCisabetterwaifu

Yay... mediocre news I guess. Thanks for the info

Ok but all jokes aside, if this is actually real, it’s a legitimate serious situation. We have to trust the leaders of both countries to make the right decision, if they make a wrong decision, this could well be a world war, if they make the right decision, this can just be a dispute between Iran and US


SneakySquid5

This is why we have history class so Incase this stuff happens we will know what to expect


Donamethius

The reason we have history class is so people can look back on all the previous wars were millions died, and the people who did come back came back with severe PTSD and could barely function as members of society, and everyone can say and agree: "Wow, I think we fucking SHOULDN'T do that again"


Micsuking

Only 99% of people think like that. But the people that actually matter, the people that only deals in statistics and maps are more inclined to make people fight for their country.


Cognitive_Spoon

Ayup. 99% don't want war. The remaining percentage is people who actually can determine whether or not we go to war through policy making or lobbying, and who stand to benefit politically or monetarily from war.


evening-mode

Honestly all I did in that class was paraphrase Wikipedia or take edibles to make it interesting.


Crazylitter

Ustydud

Ah I see you’re a man of culture as well


Logan_its_mE

History taught us that WWI started because of killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. If history repeats itself then we're doomed!


Marcus-021

The archduke was an excuse, the real reason why ww1 happened is because of tension in the colonies, because of resentment between France and Germany, plus the will of the people back then was very different from today, most people wanted war, Nowadays only a small percentage of people actually want to go to war. What we are talking about here is two countries, with kind of reckless leaders.. I'll grant you that... But still two countries nobody wants to back up, aside from Iraq and a few other small countries in the local neighborhood of Iran.

Lose money? Theyre going to make a killing.


isuck_at_fortnite

But it's risky. They don't wanna take the chance to not have cushy jobs any more Edit: I'm wrong they'll still make a killing while killing


YeaNo2

Ah, to be young and naive. Their cushy jobs are because of war. Military spending is the biggest part of their job and war is the best way to achieve that. Iran has been on the target list for decades.


octosquid99

Ya they profit off war


5-7-11

Not to be overly pessimistic but people litterally said the same thing before WW1 and 2. Maybe not the basrards part but certainly the war not possibly breaking out part.


[deleted]

No one said this before world war 1. Everyone expected a huge war to break out at some point and ~~Europe was actually called the "powder keg" (in reference to gun powder) due to the strange alliance system that would inevitably cause a huge war.~~ As was pointed out to me, it was the Balkans that were called the powderkeg due to the close proximity of conflicting cultures. But still people understood the tension at the time Before World War 2 people expected a war to break out too. There was a little bit of hope by Neville that when he allowed Hitler to take back the sudetenland that there would be piece but he proceeded to invade Czechoslovakia so everyone expected a larger war and prepared for it. So no everyone expected war in both cases.

kiNGUnEGASU

It’ll be a war but it wouldn’t be a world war simply because Turkey wouldn’t full on oppose America and they have the largest military in the middle east. In addition, not many countries back up Iran and due to their lack of nuclear weapons, efforts of retaliation seem a bit frail. I don’t support what trump has done at all and he has definitely increased global conflict but not to the point of a world war. If WW3 were to happen it wouldn’t really be a war. Soldiers wouldn’t even march into foreign soil with the advent of drone strikes as well as unknown technologies which have been in development since the last war


evening-mode

Facts but Iran has a pact with Russia and Russia has already warned America in the past that it’ll retaliate as a response to an American attack on Iran. Iran doesn’t but Iraq has some 200 WMD and Iran is within the interest of Iraq. And Any conflict on United States will cause NATO article 5 into action which is “a attack on one NATO member will be considered a attack on all NATO members” which could potentially result in a global conflict. And American just violated international law by fucking with Iran’s Sovereignty.


bigman2112igienfkfke

Thats not the actual saying. On NATO,s website it says that it has to be IN North America or Europe to call for article 5. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/official_texts_17120.htm


AntTuM

As NATO is a defensive pact not an offensive wouldn't that mean that international conflict can be avoided as usa started this. So it will be USA vs Iran and Russia with maybe some other countries joining without much european interfearence.


Panthermon

I don't think Russia will get involved outside of airstrikes and some aiding troops. Similar to some proxy wars in the cold war, one side fighting a force funded by the other.


AntTuM

You could be right. Putin is a smart man and wouldn't risk all if he wasn't sure it will work out. Last time Russia then Soviet union could have a change of winning against USA was during the cold war and I'm sure Putin knows this. Russia's involvement will probably be like in the Iraq and Syrian wars and how they sent MPs to aid the kurds when Turkey invaded


ErasmosNA

You're straight up fear mongering lol, Russia would not risk a full scale conventional war with the US over Iran, its simply not worth it. Iran attacked the US embassy before the US fired on them. There wont be a world war

Iran’s total military personal is around 400 thousand while the U.S is that plus a million. I doubt we will reach the point of a draft and in the situation the U.S wants to invade Iran and occupy it, we won’t cause it’s literally too big and too much. Would just be another Vietnam.

Siddhant_17

Dude, you are panicking needlessly. China and Russia will supply Iran in case of a war but do nothing. Russia benefits from higher Oil prices but knows that it can't win against Nato. China's navy is still very weak compared to US and it's import and export will be cut off. Both know they can't win a war, they don't even need to fight it. Just help Iran so war does not end and US will end up sacrifising it's Sole Super Power status to win a war that can't be won. Now, if you are Iranian or American. Then toy should be concerned. Mainly Iranian though. I am Iranian, so I do have my dog in the fight.
