Sunni politicians are loyal to Iran?

Anyway here comes the next episode of Sunni vs Shiite civil war in Iraq.


This appears to be more closely tied to an anti-corruption campaign than a pro-American or pro-Iranian action.

You reached back in the memory banks for that one. I forgot all about her making that statement.

lol. Well it’s not like she isn’t a walking controversy. She has made so many ignorant statements since that one that’s it’s impressive you remembered it lol.

She should be sent back to the country where her family slaughtered thousands. That would be the justice she’s always banging on about.

She needs to be anywhere but here. The United States has been good to her and all she can do it talk bad about this country and help try to destroy it. She needs to be anywhere but here.

Her being in the position she’s in is the perfect example of how corrupt things are over here

the crackdown is supposedly subordinate to ongoing corruption investigations spearheaded by Iraq’s new prime minister, Ali Al-Zaidi. Al-Zaidi has close ties to Iran through his bank.


This quote makes it sound as if Iran is behind the crackdown.

As if both of these things can't be true.

Tell us that part again about how some people understand nuance and others don't.

The Iranian empire is being dismantled.

Remember - before Assad fell they were in Syria too.

Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq were/are puppet states.

Middle East fell into a giant sinkhole. Then maybe the world could get a little peace.

That would leave out Pakistan, India, and Africa, who love to export their "peace" to the West. 250k raped British girls, bombings at Ariana Grande concerts, and the rest would disagree with you.

If they are arresting both Sunni, anti-Iranian, and Shiite, pro-Iranian individuals - both things can't be true. This would solely indicate an anti-corruption campaign. If they were only arresting one side, it could be because of solely an anti-corruption campaign, it could be solely because they were lending support to one side of the conflict, or it could be a combination of both.

I don't think you actually understand what this means.

You think Iran controls the Lebanese and Yemeni government?

Do you know anything about the area?

Lebanon is primarily controlled by anti-Iranian leaders and government. 32% of the population is Shia and Hezbollah is not an official member of the Government (and is at odds with the President and Prime Minister).

The Houthis in Yemen are infamously referred to as Houthi "Rebels" because they are rebelling against the State in Yemen

This is patently false. I swear this clown is a frickin Hezbollah affiliated stooge. Hezbollah holds defacto veto power within the Lebanese parliament.

Do you know what "official" means? Besides, your point does not counter what I was saying at all. Lebanon is not a captured state that serves Iran - a majority of the population, and political power in Lebanon, is not pro-Iranian in any way.

Yes. When a party holds seats within parliament and enough so to enact a defacto veto over government matters, they are an official member of that government.

For someone who likes to talk to others as if they don't know the region or what they're talking about, you're wrong like every frickin time you post something.
