Oh, ok

Your point being?

Books are great. Also read lots of fiction.

In Telugu, there is a concept of 'jump’ing from a situation. It means escaping, but the English word ‘jump’ is used.

It is about pre-emptively invading other countries on the basis of made up attacks.

Disagree. It was XP.

The son of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the frontrunner to replace him as supreme leader, according to reports.

He is not selected yet, according to your linked article. Your post title says he is elected according to reports.

but who decides on this?

The US government? There is no one person behind this. This has been their foreign policy for decades. The US administration, as an imperialist entity, is acting like this.

Antarctica?

To answer why, I have a theory. (I apologize beforehand for any ignorance, I only know a very minimal history of US - Iran)

1. Government. The US has wanted to control Iran from a long time, and succeded once in 1953. When the revolution of 1979 happened, they lost their hold in Iran’s goverment. They have constantly been trying to topple Khamenei’s regime since then. Khamenei was getting old, and if he names a successor and they come to power, the current regime system will be cemented and more difficult to overthrow from outside. And I think the release of Epstein files has accelerated the whole process, since the connections between politicians/influential people of various countries and the US/Israel are getting revealed to the world.

2. Oil. After the Russio-Ukraine war started, America has been trying to stop countries from buying Russian oil and make them buy crude oil from American companies. The US needs to get hold of two things now - Oil wells (Venezuela, Arabia, Iran, I think Palestine too, I’m not sure) and trade routes. Iran has control over the Strait of Hormuz , which transports about 1/4th of world crude oil trade.

3. Dollar. Both Maduro and Khamenei were trying to change the currency of oil trade, that is the American dollar.(This goes back to some agreement made between USA and Saudi Arabia)

Then what would they use for ice?

I’ll permit you to say

lmao

I wouldn’t call them ‘Trump’ supporters necessarily, but they are shamelessly supportive of US imperialism.

Or you could say all things turn to shit over time…

You’re probably being called a tankie because you’re from lemmy.ml .

Maybe it is because men are bigger?

if you think the citizens who march in the streets everyday against this villainy are the perpetrators of this violence.

OP said ‘the US state’, not ‘people of the US’.

What?

They probably mean that anyone supporting a genocide cannot be a progressive politician.
