As usual, you post your own opinion, backed up by nothing (zero, zilch, nada).
[QUOTE=PedroMorales;2701957]Leaving the rank racism to one side, though Iran is the world's main Shia nation, many "Arabs", not least in Lebanon, are Shia. There are many Sunni in Iran though Bigot man here would not know that. Plus lots of Christians, Alawi, Druze, Yezidi and other minorities. I think we can all agree that the bigotry, racism and supremacism Mr Hasbara where displays is going to bit back in a big way.
Let's all salute Iran, who paid back American pirates in kind.
Let's all salute British mercenaries Shaun Pinner and Andrew Hill and Moroccan Ibrahim Saadoun, who face justice in liberated Ukraine. Russian military spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said earlier that the best thing the foreign mercenaries could expect was a "long term in prison. " Two scumbags swinging at the end of ropes might send a clear message back to Blighty, no?[/QUOTE]The post to which you replied had literally one sentence that tangentially mentioned Arab-Persian attitudes, and wasn't even the main point of the post. As usual, you try to make mountains out of molehills and end up looking stupid.
Had Arab-Persian relations been my main point, I would have posted relevant articles to support my assertions. I'm happy to do so now and, as always, people are invited to read, make up their own minds, and join the debate if they want. Of course, since this is a forum dedicated to issues pertaining to Kyiv and Ukraine, I don't know if anyone will want to follow you down that particular anti-American rabbit hole.
But, for anyone interested in the topic of Arab vs Persian animosity (which goes both ways), I would invite them to do a brief web search. It took me less than a minute to find several articles, one of which features an interview of an Iranian intellectual, explaining the hatred in both historical and cultural contexts.

Also, since you mention minorities in Iran as though all is harmonious, here's an article detailing the Iranian regime's treatment of minority groups:

There are varying levels of evidence suitable for inclusion in an informed debate. Pure opinion, with zero substantiation, is so low that it's not even worthy of being classified as evidence. You continue to search for water in the Sahara of your own desiccated mind, looking for things to say, no matter how stupid. And you continue to twist and mischaracterize what others post. Not to worry, as I'll always be here to expose how empty of substance (albeit full to the brim with bile!) your pseudo-arguments are. Better luck next time!
P.S. Pointing out a true and verifiable fact, namely the existence of a current (and centuries old) hatred between Arabs and Persians, can only be portrayed as racist or bigoted by someone who either chooses to ignore the facts, or is unable to construct a substantive rebuttal. In other words, it's simply a variant of ad hominem employed by those who can't come up with anything better. A truly lame, despicable, and desperate tactic.
And yet another BS, pathetic, opinion-only post, completely devoid of references.
[QUOTE=PedroMorales;2702421]Being grounded and pounded in the East, as their wives are pounded elsewhere. EU crying for talks, as is that idiot Zelensky.
Von der Leyen saying to buy Russian oil to stop Russia selling it elsewhere. Now you know why you cannot be taken seriously.
Greece made a big mistake helping the USA steal that tanker of oil. 25% of tankers off the Iranian coast, that can easily be made an Iranian lake, fly the Greek flag.
Go back to your hamburgers and school shootings.[/QUOTE]Did you also predict a French victory at Agincourt? Or a victory for Rommel at El Alamein? If you're looking for an idiot, try looking in the mirror, because only an idiot looks at a ripple and thinks he can predict the tide.
The supposedly formidable Russian army was forced into a humiliating retreat from Kyiv, which even retired Russian officers (see previously posted letter) acknowledge. They control much less territory than at the beginning of the invasion and are now desperately trying to control Severodonetsk for purely domestic political reasons. Putin needs something, anything, that he can frame as a "victory," so he's directed his army to focus on Luhansk Oblast. The problem is that political pressures are pushing that army to attack without proper preparation or support, and they're losing men and equipment every step (forward AND backward) of the way. You can read an independent assessment here:

As anyone who isn't a prisoner of their own opinion-bubble can see, the actual state of the war is a grinding give and take. And one piece of information that's being reported today is that a Ukrainian counter-offensive in the Kherson area is underway. So, even if one side is able to take a bit of ground today, that's no guarantee they can hold it tomorrow.
How things will turn out on the battlefield is still an open question, and anyone with a shred of intellectual integrity will admit that there are a vast number of variables, known and unknown, in play. But, as you've consistently demonstrated in this forum, you wouldn't recognize integrity, of any kind, if it walked up and (just like your fave Medellin trannies) bit you in the ass.
P.S. Thanks for mentioning Iran! It seems they recently had some problems at one of their "secret" drone bases, and reportedly it was an attack that was launched from within Iran itself. Isn't it interesting that they apparently lack control over their own territory? Maybe they can ask Greece for some help with that.
You are a Racist, and an ignorant one
[QUOTE=Jmsuttr;2702140] Ukrainian Army getting pounded, Israel upset
But, for anyone interested in the topic of Arab vs Persian animosity .[/QUOTE]You know nothing about it. Go beat up an old lady by the Damascus Gate. It is where your strength lies, there and killing Melkite journalists.
Here is Wikipedia on Iranian ethnicities [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicities_in_Iran[/URL].
Allegiances of Turkmen vary from place to place. Big component of your ISIS buddies.
I wonder how your mercenaries are getting on in East Ukraine. Coming up against a real army. I've just been reading US and German ones took a pounding. Let's hope others did too. Off you go now and beat up an old lady and rob her house.
P.S.: I skim your BS as you have nothing to say. Ditto your MB / Saudi links. Off you go now and beat up an old lady and rob her house.
Wikipedia, really? Your use of that as a primary source explains SO much!

Here's a short lesson: In order for an insult to truly hit a nerve, it needs to have some basis in fact, even if only a little. For example, if you happened to be skinny as a rail, then it would be stupid to try to use something like "fat pig" as an insult. It simply lacks any believability which robs it of any efficacy as an insult. But using something like meth-addled anorexic could work, because those would have a connection to the reality of your appearance.
Obviously, on an anonymous fuckboard there's no way to ascertain physical attributes. But there certainly is ample opportunity to examine ideas, or lack thereof, how people express themselves, and to what degree logic and intelligence is reflected in their posts.
And that's why your attempt to insult by calling me racist falls completely flat. Because it's not connected to any reality, except as a figment of your warped imagination. And, if no one except you believes it, then it's as meaningless as if you declared that it's nighttime when everyone else can clearly see the sun shining.
OTOH, if I call you a brainless bile-duct whose only access to information comes (pun intended) when you suck Dickipedia, then that's an insult with some sticking power because it accurately reflects a number of the traits you've demonstrated.
See how that works? Any questions?
