Thailand is looking to export food and raw materials to Iran and other Middle East countries in exchange for its ships being allowed to safely bring back cargoes of plastic pellets and fertiliser from the conflict region, according to the commerce minister.

      So the right side is occupying southern Lebanon, install military bases there with Iranian money, launch attacks to another country and then running away to hide in Beirut just so Israel can bomb the hell out of it. What’s the fault of the Lebanese? Why are they on the wrong side?
      And the Houthis?? How are they the right side for attacking… (checks notes) Yemen and Saudi Arabia!? Where those countries on the IDF side too? It’s all Iranian politics, the same for decades.
      Hamas will kill anyone in Gaza who doesn’t pay them “protection” money for their mafia racket. Are Palestinans in the wrong side too?

        “Occupying” southern Lebanon? They’re supported by the inhabitants of southern Lebanon, you dolt. They’re the de-facto Lebanese army. Likewise with the Houthis - they are Yemen. They represent the popular will, and they control the territory on which the majority of Yemenis live. Christ, you’re stupid.

            They received money from a friendly government, therefore their demonstrable popular legitimacy is actually fake? Tell that to Vietnam you mouth breathing imbecile.

              Just like the Contras were demonstrably popular in Nicaragua then?
              They’re popular in Iran! My god, you have the intelligence of a dead fly in the ass of an ox.

                Clearly I can’t logic you out of your moronic opinion that Iran can just money their way to having unpopular mass movements in other countries, so we’ll leave that one be for now. They’re fighting against genocidal nazi pedophiles. Like what is your fucking deal? Obviously none of them are perfect (otherwise they would be marxist-leninists) but there’s clearly a much greater evil they’re fighting against.
