@Solagical @yannispappas Assyrians were KICKED OUT of the Paris Peace Conf-1919 BC they were bloodthirsty savages who came with books of nauseating details of how they committed murders against 100,000 Muslims (read Kurds). "The Smallest Nation" I think was the name of the book. IST was under occupation

@gul1678667 @yannispappas You’re lost.. the Ottomans were bigger, stronger, smarter, richer, and more organized than most of the world nm Greece/Balkans/Levant/AM for centuries.. and they did what powerful nations do and conquered (raped/murdered/displaced aka 21st Century genocide) their neighbors

@gul1678667 @yannispappas The Assyrians & Chaldeans were excluded from the Paris Peace Conf cuz they did not fit Britain’s plans for the Mid East (Oil) & the great powers didn’t care about the Armenians cuz they were focused on formalizing relations with the Turks who still controlled the Dardanelles

@Solagical @yannispappas Make up more "genocides" while you are at it..Greeks were charged with war crimes, Assyrians were told to leave the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 BC they brought records of how they killed Turkish civilians with detailed descriptions and the Armenians, were effected BC of Rus

@gul1678667 @yannispappas You don’t know what you’re talking about.. the Pontic Genocide started in 1914 and ran through 1923.. the Greeks forcibly removed Turks starting in 1923 as a response

@AshOnega @furloughedRRW @yannispappas @cenkuygur It’s a zero sum game.. but Yannis’s point is that this logic is only applied to Israel.. Israel won wars (on their own if you actually look into history) and thus they own the land, everyone crying about them now is just a loser who wants to rewrite how the world works

Imagine someone comes to your house and says Israel was promised it 3,000 years ago. So, you’re going to have to leave. If you don’t, you’re an antisemite. Since antisemites are terrorists who are going to kill us all, we’re going to have to kill you first - to protect ourselves!

Food for thought. Welcome to the New Great Game: the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is not an outburst, it is a long‑planned move on a board Washington has been studying for decades. Donald Trump’s Iran gamble is being judged against the wrong baseline. Nobody serious expected regime change by airstrike; the bet of Operation Epic Fury was narrow but brutal, halt Iran’s march to a bomb, break the infrastructure that threatens Americans and allies, restore deterrence and, by closing Hormuz, demonstrate that even in a “multipolar” age the United States can still reach for the world’s most strategic chokepoint. The question is not whether Iran looks worse than in peacetime, but whether it is weaker than the Iran we were otherwise on track to face: near‑weapons‑grade enrichment, hardened sites, ICBMs a tested weapon within a year, and implicitly backed by China. Against that counterfactual, a regime that has lost senior commanders, core nuclear facilities and major war‑making capacity has not “emerged stronger”. Nor did this war suddenly hand power to the IRGC. The Guards have run Iran for years; the conflict stripped away the clerical façade and killed many of their most capable officers. They are not true religious believers but calculating military men, interested in power, money and survival more than theology. Such men can be negotiated with, if the terms strip away their most dangerous options. A discredited IRGC with degraded capabilities and no viable nuclear path is weaker than the old clerical‑IRGC hybrid with a bomb option. This looks less like a revolutionary vanguard and more like a brittle military dictatorship. Venezuela shows why this is not neo‑conservatism in disguise. There, Washington helped force Nicolás Maduro from power with sanctions, isolation and support for the opposition, but it did not send Marines into Caracas or attempt to remake the country in America’s image. The objective was pressure and transition, not permanent US stewardship. The same bounded playbook now applies to Iran: maximum economic and military pressure to fracture the regime from within, not an occupation or bayonet‑installed government. Seen from that perspective, Hormuz is not a shocking improvisation but the central artery in a strategy that has been war gamed out : use control of sea‑lanes and finance to punish Iran first, but also to remind China and Europe that their growth models still depend on flows Washington can disrupt. What cannot be allowed is for this world to turn Iran into a Chinese staging point on the Gulf. The endgame in this first round of the New Great Game is narrow and knowable: no enrichment, real caps on missile reconstitution, no Chinese forward base, no open chequebook for terror, and enough sustained pressure that when the Iranian people finally move, they are pushing against a weakened security state rather than a confident nuclear one. The world has changed; Iran has lost the war, Pax Americana is dead. Trump’s national security doctrine, coercion without occupation, leverage without crusades, is the planned successor, and the Strait of Hormuz is its chosen proving ground. Is the Strait of Malacca next? Why should investors care? Because if this strategy succeeds, it removes a looming nuclear breakout risk, curtails state‑sponsored terrorism, re‑establishes a credible fear of US hard power and, for a time, compresses the geopolitical risk premium that has hung over energy, shipping and global equities for a generation. It offers the possibility, however briefly, of a peace dividend: lower volatility, higher investment and a world that, for a moment, rhymes with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. In that window, capital will scramble to reprice assets that assumed perpetual Middle Eastern and Nuclear escalation. The New Great Game is not just about guns and chokepoints; it is about who captures that re‑rating.

@hobie_tweets @nytimes If this is true that would be bad.. almost as bad as a sitting US senator amplifying Iranian propaganda or a liberal NGO paying racists to be racist in public so they could raise more money from idiot liberal donors.. between Murphy and the SPLC it’s been a tough day for the left

@Solagical Greg. The fucking President lies all the fucking time. Would you stop with the fucking double standard. Yeh - Murphy disagrees with the war in Iran and posted something expressing his discontent. He wasn’t rooting for Iran.

@hobie_tweets Spreading Iranian propaganda during a War with Iran is so much worse than lying about the status of the war or lying about the goals of the war or trading on oil futures with insider knowledge

@hobie_tweets Because when you knowingly amplify Iranian propaganda you are not far off from cheering for Iran… you should be calling out Murphy for being a scumbag spreading easily disprovable lies vs criticizing accounts exaggerating his fandom

@Solagical The accounts are saying his tweet of “awesome” was him cheering on the fact the vessels got thru, when he’s clearly being sarcastic. How is this difficult?
