        “with major caveats”

        thanks for actually being realistic here

        too many leftists and Marxist-Leninists on Twitter keep doing the same victory dance without really acknowledging whatever losses might’ve taken place

        I prefer that I know about the bad stuff ahead of time so that I’m not disappointed later lol

          The MOU appears to be a transformational victory but it’s only paper gains right now. Iran took major gambles and major damage. I think there is going to have to be some sort of economic catastrophe before this thing actually moves. All that said it’s the best time in decades for revolutionary optimism

            Honestly, it may be transformational and even “progressive” in the historical sense (going by the Marxist way of using it here).

            But by how much?

            Maybe not by much at the present time, though the implications are there since it really is the first time America dead-ass got stuck in their tracks along with both Saudi Arabia and Israel.

            Hell, I’m Turkish.

            Türkiye was literally next for Israel after Iran.

            I kinda owe the Iranians that much at least…

              Don’t worry, you can make it up to Iran by not claiming Norooz is actually a Turkish holiday that the Persians stole (this is just in jest).

                It’s a good thing that my abusive father was basically just a stupid Kemalist and the thought of him makes me want the Turkish Republic to be completely gone and abolished at this point ngl

                …Or else you would’ve never heard the end of it ahaha
