Let me explain something to my audience in the West.
Here in Papua New Guinea, up in the Highlands, tribal fights are a way of life.
When two tribes go at it for generations, the businessmen and politicians supply the weapons and ammunition. The foot “soldiers” are poor villagers who were born and raised in an environment where conflict has always been a normal part of life.
You will never understand how their brains work unless you’ve seen it up close.
These people adore their elites and are willing to die for them at ANY cost, while the elites are living luxurious lives in the capital city. Their kids are overseas studying or living there with ZERO negative impact from the conflict.
BUT to the villagers, the tribal fight is a worthy cause, and if they lose, they believe the other tribe will wipe them out.
They rarely make peace. And if they ever do, sooner or later they fall back into the same cycle over and over again. It's like you can't make peace with them. However, the "leaders" are key in making peace in these situations.
They burn down schools, hospitals, bridges, and government institutions in the area. They destroy their own future just to hurt the other side.
Even sane Papua New Guineans cannot wrap their heads around this level of stupidity, but we understand the environment they grew up in. These people are brutal. They will not hesitate to take a life in the most heinous way possible and then go on with their lives and not be held accountable.
Now over the last few years, news has come out that the leaders of groups like Hamas, IRGC, and Hezbollah live in the comforts of the modern world. Their kids and families are in the West living luxurious lives, while the foot soldiers are dying in Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere.
This is NORMAL to them.
These are religious fanatics on top of the culture they live in. They are willing to die for their so-called leaders. They are willing to take thousands of lives just to further the cause.
The Western soldier comes back home broken because they’ve had to do things they were not raised to do. They suffer serious PTSD because of the horrors they have witnessed. To them, they have seen very inhuman atrocities.
But to many fighters in parts of the Middle East and other conflict regions, that is the normal way of life.
The Western soldier is trained.
They fight within the constraints of international laws.
They are accountable.
To terrorists and militant groups, anything goes.
In the Western world, even half the country would be against war. There are protests, politics, media debates, elections.
In many conflict regions, people are raised from childhood to accept war, martyrdom, revenge, and tribal or religious loyalty as part of life.
This is the difference between the West and much of the developing world. It is very different from what you read and watch on the internet. Most of the time, you cannot understand why these people think and operate the way they do, because you are living in a completely different reality.
And that is the part many people in the West do not understand when they talk about geopolitics, war, and foreign policy like it’s a movie or a university debate.
For many parts of the world, this is not theory.
This is not politics.
This is not X.
This is just life.

In case you're wondering:
- MMIWG = Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls
- 2SLGBTQQIA+ = Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual + (the + covers other identities)
And yes, it's the official acronym used in Canada's National Inquiry and Action Plan on violence against "oppressed minorities."
Canada is an unserious country.
Samantha Smith@SamanthaTaghoy
“MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” The Canadian government just dropped this absolute monstrosity (and no, it isn’t satire).

@Laurieluvsmolly @SamanthaTaghoy Maybe tell the Indigenous men to stop violating Indigenous women
Ever thought about that?


English

@SamanthaTaghoy Just because you don’t belong to these groups, doesn’t mean there isn’t a huge problem.

English

@cartierfamilyZ @JMesseg @FenixAmmunition You did just now
Stick to domestic issues because your grasp on geopolitics is abysmal
English

@ftbm13 @cartierfamilyZ These idiots keep crying about "Greater Israel", which is completely made up, while cheering for the jihadis that want to establish a Greater Syria and bring back the caliphate
Horseshoe theory in action
English

@cartierfamilyZ If it were about "greater Israel", like many of your comments say - why would Israel give back the Sinai peninsula to Egypt in exchange for peace?
Hezbollah have been firing hundreds of rockets into Israeli communities in the past few weeks.
What would America do?
English

@cartierfamilyZ @JMesseg @FenixAmmunition And yet, you openly spout IRGC propaganda after they've butchered millions of people in their illegal occupation of Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza, Iran, etc.
Has it ever occurred to you that the monsters that strap suicide vests to children don't give a fuck about innocent civilians?
English

@JMesseg @FenixAmmunition I don’t agree with dead innocent civilians
English

@FenixAmmunition @cartierfamilyZ Pure projection from the Islamofascists
You're not getting your fucking caliphate back




English

@marci_shore I was wondering how on earth someone so lacking in reading comprehension gets to be a prof teaching young people about history and then I saw you were based in Canada and...
Yeah... That tracks...
English

@TRHLofficial Good thing you're not in charge of the country, then
Imagine defending the monsters that rape women for showing their hair, hang gay people from cranes, and butcher tens of thousands of their own people because they refuse to support a 7th century desert death cult
Shame on you
English

@TRHLofficial No it wasn't
Learn how to read
Stop acting like a brainwashed liberal suffering from TDS
This is embarrassing
English

@thatsKAIZEN @JeremyDBoreing Read the last line of his statement
Then read it again
Trump's goal is to destroy the Islamic Regime, not the Iranian people
The 'civilisation' he's referring to are the Islamofascists that have been running the country to the ground for the past 47 years
English

@JeremyDBoreing Certain things shouldn’t be threatened in public, and destroying a civilization is one of those things.
Great leaders know how to create leverage without creating unnecessary hysteria.
English

Donald Trump has been a national politician for a decade. Anyone still reacting to the guy’s negotiating tactics and hyperbole with this sort of hysteria ten years in should be disqualified from political commentary.
If he nukes Tehran at 8pm, I’ll admit I’m the crazy one.
When he doesn’t, this crew will admit nothing and find some other comment to be scandalized by.
Bo Winegard@EPoe187
Ok this is legitimately a threat to annihilate an entire people, an obvious and grotesque war crime. There is absolutely no defense of this and it should lead to immediate impeachment and removal.
English

@HarrisonKrank Trump said "Death to the Islamic Regime" and "God Bless the Iranian People"
The Islamic Regime chants "Death to America", which includes the millions of Americans suffering from TDS
Big difference
English

@LGBwiththeT All you lot do is show the world you have no idea how science works and that you possess the emotional maturity of a toddler
The gaslighting is over
You have ruined your own lives and now you're mad that you're getting pushback because your cult got exposed for what it is

As an Iranian, let me tell you what @POTUS is talking about here:
In Iran, if you protest, you die. Not metaphorically. Snipers on rooftops shoot people in the head and chest. In January, the regime massacred thousands in the streets, many of them young people whose only crime was demanding a normal life.
When he says Iranians are telling the U.S. “please keep bombing” he’s describing a population so desperate to be free from a regime that murders them for protesting, that they’re willing to endure war if it means the system that has terrorized them for 47 years finally falls.
You may not understand that. Most Westerners can’t. You’ve never lived in a country where your daughter can be shot in the face for not covering her hair. Where your son disappears into Evin Prison and you get a call to come pick up the body. Where the internet goes dark so the world can’t see the killing.
That’s what “they have lived in a world that you know nothing about” means.
Before the media turns this into “Trump wants to bomb civilians,” understand: the Iranian people have been begging the world to see them for years. This is the first U.S. president to say it out loud.
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47
.@POTUS explains to a reporter that the Iranian people yearn for freedom: "We've had numerous intercepts, 'Please keep bombing' ... and these are people that are living where the bombs are exploding... they want freedom. They have lived in a world that you know nothing about."

His mother held 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage in Iran for 444 days, from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981.
