If there is no Shah to overthrow it's not likely the clerics would have ever taken over the country.



Before Reza was put in place Iran was ruled by another Shah (Ahmad Shah). I don't believe removing one Shah for another really changed anything other than Iran becoming more western friendly. It was a near certainty that the Islamic Regime would have came into power anyway.

Do I know this for a fact? No. Do you know otherwise? No

We can't really point this at 1953, but we certainly know what happened when the Islamic Regime took power.

Why do you never acknowledge 1953?


Well, I've never been asked this so I don't know why you use the word "never". But since you asked.

You're talking about the implementation of the Shah, the same thing the Iranian people are asking for now. You don't seem to acknowledge that the Iranian people are not the same as the Islamic Regime. Did we interfere? Yes. Is that what started this? No.

Are you suggesting they aren't retaliating against our regional interests after we attack them?



What I'm suggesting is with the regime in its death throw will throw whatever they have left to not just disrupt the ME, they'll attempt to break it. Something they haven't attempted yet. No one here actually knows what kind of firepower they have left, but they'll throw whatever it is plus the kitchen sink in its final hours.
And keep that regional interest shite out of here, Iran has been using proxies to attack the US for 47 fricking years. GTFOH

This seems like an obvious conclusion since they've been doing it since the start of the conflict. If we continue to escalate, they'll continue to cause as much chaos as they can.



And again Powerbottom misses the mark.

So what the hell do they do with all the $$ they make from oil?



Believe it or not, they distribute it to the Kuwaiti people, at least a lot of it. When I was over there you'd see women driving Lambo's with their kids jammed in somehow. They had a lot of wrecks and when the tow trucks would come (plural), one would haul off the wrecked car and the other brought them a new one. Not all of the people get distribution, there's actually a hierarchy.
I was telling my neighbor a couple of days ago that when the Iranian Regime feels the walls starting to collapse that they will lash out and try to cause long term disruption all over the Middle East, which will affect the entire world. It was just a thought, but sadly I may end up being correct.

That was some incoherent shite. What a clown show.
Kuwait has no offensive capability outside of about 35 fighter jets and MLRS, the MLRS doesn't have the range to strike Iran. They've built their entire system as defensive, they also have no navy to speak of.
That's darker than the Mississippi River. I've taken shits lighter than that.

Brissey shows promise for next year


Let me introduce you to our pitching coach
We don't have any pitching depth at all. Apparently for as much suck depth that Kansas has it's still deeper than what we have.
Souza is faster than I thought he was.
Gibler coming in next inning. Hasn't he already thrown like 50-60 pitches? This could be a disaster
They should have completely ran over her, then backed up over her. Keep in mind, this was in NY, if they issued her a citation then she must have really fricked up.
The Roma is a nice looking car. But yeah, this EV looks like hammered shite
I found it once it was moved. Our offense better do something or this will be 30-0
I give up, I find 2 games (same game), one says delayed and the other says upcoming. I fricking hate ESPN
I'm not surprised. We started Taint McGuire (I think), when he's starting you know it's going to get bad
I just tuned into the game, it says technical difficulties. Has it even started?
Yeah but it was saying upcoming, then I clicked it and it said ended. But I found it another way.
