Iran’s system of government has nothing to do with it, unless you can explain why Saudi Arabia (who is responsible for 9/11) isn’t sanctioned or constantly under attack by Israel. America’s aggression against Iran is entirely for their oil and only harms innocent Iranians while strengthening the regime, by giving people an even more harmful enemy the regime can point to.

e: also your number is off by about 2/3rds, the highest estimate of deaths during 2022-2023 I can find is 500. That’s almost as much as one Israeli hospital bombing!

I’m laying out the most likely way Greenland will be annexed, obviously. Bookmark my comment and check back in a year if you think I’m wrong.

Iran’s very real problems are because of America’s economic warfare, and Israel’s real-life warfare, against Iran such as last year’s bombing campaign that killed over 1,600 innocent Iranian civilians. Somehow these facts are never mentioned in America’s corporate Zionist media including this article. Instead they just say it’s because of their religion or whatever. It’s racist propaganda that gets pumped out non-stop because they want Iran’s oil, same shit as Venezuela.

It won’t come to a military conflict. Trump will place massive tariffs on the EU¹, possibly sanction EU’s business oligarchs and freeze their assets in the US, and Denmark will quickly cave and hand Greenland over as America’s cherished new 51st state. Maybe the US pays a token sum for Greenland, like 10 or 20 billion, so that the EU can save face and try to return back to business as normal. But Greenland is basically sealed. Maybe if your leaders weren’t cowards it would be different, but you play with the cards you’ve been dealt.

Mike Pompeo said it out loud in a now deleted tweet. “Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them”.

PBS and NPR mostly repeated the same state propaganda talking points as corporate media on issues like the Gaza Genocide and Maduro’s kidnapping. Not that the corporate media was ever better at any point (often much worse). At least there was no ads between the propaganda.
