    “Corrupt and inefficient economy” they are able to fight the world’s most expensive army while still actively selling munitions to Russia while also at a food surplus while also managing to punish a dozen US allies that picked sides poorly. Even the CIA admits they could keep this up for YEARS.

    They have a far more efficient economy than any country in the west – all developing countries do by necessity.

      Ok, this is just blatant propaganda. Everything you just wrote is hilariously false or a misrepresentation of the issue at hand. But by all means, continue believing that fucking Iran’s economy is superior to that of the “western world”…

        Calling everything that disagrees with your owners’ world view “propaganda” is just pure slavebrained behavior.

        Yes, the fact they are able to feed themselves while under crushing sanctions and even have a fucking space program means they have a more efficient economy than say, the US with it’s 1% hunger rate or the UK which is starting to kick people out of housing because they ‘can’t afford it.’ They are able to accomplish the same thing every society has as a goal – taking care of its people better than if they were on their own – with 1/10,000th of the resources.

        Developing countries that aren’t in famine are indeed better economies than developed countries, because they don’t have developing countries to exploit to prop up their economy.
