Until people understand that every life is precious, we will keep having wars.
I'm sure everyone understands that well enough and that includes the user I quoted (@Lucius). The fact that he is saying what he was saying about Ukraine proves that. The problem is their rulers who have had a tight control on the media and the information that their people receive for as long as media has existed and through that they control and dictate the way their people think.
So for example when I read @Lucius posts about Iran, I'm not reading his words! I am reading words put in his mouth by
Western Propaganda Machine. It is crystal clear too if you know what to look for and are familiar with the situation. The first thing is to know
terminology and the
timing. Let me analyze a little since it is an educating thing useful for the future reference since the behavior is repeating:
[2026-02-19](1) "regime that kills thousands of its own people and throws as many more into prison just because they protest in the streets."
- Use of term "regime" for Iranian government which is Western propaganda language used for any country they want to attack.
- Clear pre-aggression propaganda to dehumanize the people that NATO is about to murder (the lie about a "regime" that kills its own people)
Now check out his post history for the past month or so. Nary a word on MASSIVE protests across Europe, tens of thousands of arrests, wounded people, maimed people who lost limbs and were blinded, killed people who were shot by the European
regimes. Does he not care about those? I'd like to believe he does. It's just that the Western propaganda machine that tightly controls most people's brains doesn't allow them to think about the oppression back home. The only thing I could find in his post history was blaming immigrants which is another clear example of Western Propaganda.
(2) "a military armada like no other has been seen in a very long time"
- Clear use of term "armada" which was Washington's propaganda language during the pre-aggression psychological warfare.
You will not see him talk about this so called "armada" after 2026-02-28 though since the pathetic US Navy fled deep into the Indian ocean over 1000 km away from Iran's borders and the only time they got close their carrier group was hit so hard that its aircraft carrier (The USS Gerald Ford which they claim is the "most advanced and expensive carrier in the world") was easily hit with missiles where 25 aircrafts on deck were obliterated instantly and at least 2 dozen US marines on board were eliminated and it burnt for 30+ hours afterwards.
Does he mention the pathetic US navy after that? No. Simply because the Western propaganda machine didn't want them to know and it was never in the news any longer. Therefore the "parrots" don't talk about it either.
[2026-02-20]"The firepower that has already arrived in the region and that is still arriving indicates that an attack similar to the one that occurred in Iraq in the past will occur. Analysts say that the US has not gathered such firepower in one place for more than 20 years, and that speaks for itself."
- US regime's clear propaganda that was too laughable for anybody with half a brain. In attacking Iraq the regime had a coalition of over 50 countries with hundreds of thousands of troops (2.5 million in total) and Iraq was disarmed already.
- For the terrorist attacks on Iran the regime barely had a couple of thousands and most of them were technicians, maintenance guys and Iran is a superpower with 90 million population and over a million servicemembers (30+ million signed up for FanFadaa to defend the homeland after the NATO aggression).
[2026-03-01]"In a week, Iran will return to the Stone Age because all they will be able to do is throw stones."
- This was second day's propaganda (they started on Feb 28th) where the US regime still thought they could "finish" Iran in 3 days and wanted to start a carpet bombing.
- You don't see him mention this any more since the propaganda stopped that after Iran retaliated by destroying loads of US economic infrastructure across the region (eg. the Amazon data centers) in retaliation and the US regime realized they can be bombed back to stone age too...
[2026-03-09]"it is only a matter of time before it agrees to complete capitulation"
- Clear use of term "capitulation" which screams US regime's desperation actually. Since by first week, their defeat had become palpable and they still thought Iranians would overthrow their own government for American terrorists! The parrots repeated that term on the internet just because the propaganda machine was saying it!
The following is the best example and the most important educational moment about propaganda is in this quote.[2026-03-19]"The problem is not that the US as the world's leading military power, could not have done much more to force Iran to surrender - the problem is that the most capable politicians and military personnel have been replaced with those who are at least two levels below them."
- Clear Western Propaganda where they try to convince their audience that the weakest and most corrupt and most expensive armed forces in the world is actually strong. And when it fails miserably they start justifying it like this so that their subjects don't ask "why is US military so weak and pathetic and why is $1.5 trillion of my tax money being wasted on it"!
- Another important thing to point out here (which is a teaching moment) is what "brainwashing" does to people. Remember the same person was talking about this so called scary and very powerful "armada" that would make Iran "capitulate" and go "back to stone age". See how quickly they forgot that? That's the effect of a severe brainwashing campaign by the Western Propaganda Machine which is a billion dollar budget operation that has been working for decades. At this point he is being bombarded by loads of new propaganda that takes away his ability to think about what he had said not so long ago!
- People like him don't ask themselves why they weren't saying these things just a couple of weeks before! Those military personnel has have been replaced on 2026-02-20 too and the regime's Minister of War was the same TV moron back then as well. It's not like these things happened all of a sudden on [2026-03-19] that brought about United States total and strategic defeat. They have had happened a long time before that.
There are more cases but I think the point is clear enough and those who want to learn, will learn to stop following the Brainwashing Propaganda Machine of the Western Regimes and start seeking alternative media and start thinking for themselves instead of being parrots.
Let me finish this long post with something funny about the pathetic nature of the US military since it came up.
Over 20 years ago when Bush was installed in office and US economy was actually good and they weren't so isolated as they are today, the regime ordered invasion and destruction of 7 countries in 5 years. One of them was Iran. They ran the largest and most expensive military exercise in human history that cost the equivalent of half a billion dollars to train for it. They called it The Millennium Challenge! LOL
According to the declassified information that pentagon published and if you know anything about Iran's military capabilities, you can see that the simulated Iran was a joke with maybe 10% of Iran's actual strength.
Guess what was the result of their exercise that involved over 13,000 troops and wasted $500 million? Iran's defeat? US defeat? ... drum roll please... the result was US being crushed. Not just defeated but obliterated in their own simulation.
Then they changed the parameters of the war and weakened the simulated Iran. Result? The same. LOL
They changed the parameters multiple times and continued for days and days but the result was a complete and total defeat of United States.
It is said that Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper who was the commander leading this exercise kicked the desk over and abandoned the project completely after realizing how perthitic the US military is.
So yeah, the reality is very different from what the propaganda machines tell us:
2015 Iran arrests US marines who literally piss their pants and start crying like little girls
2026 Iran obliterates regime's attempt to enter Iranian soil to rescue its arrested pilot (high ranking commander) and the US regime's so called "special forces" are annihilated so much so that they flee by leaving their panties behind (literally) and take their dozens of deads and run away!
