I mean you say it is wishful thinking but it actually happened. For only a few weeks and it was destroyed due to a combined agreement of the USSR, Britain and America but it did happen.

A democratic republic would be ideal. The shah would be nothing more than a puppet to foreign interests.

US took over the country and was dealing with an insurgency for 20 years before deciding that there was no point staying with no concrete goal. The equivalent would be Russia taking over Ukraine and dealing with an insurgency not being stuck in grueling trench warfare for almost as long as the...

That was much faster than I thought, nice.

They are claiming South Azerbaijani territory now too. Don't recall them being that bold before.

MAGA does wield a fair amount of influence across all branches of government though.

Should've turned off the prison cell cameras and strangled that Calvin-Klein-wearing a-hole with his own stupid beard.

We're not chopped liver you know, we can do serious damage to Russia even without Turkiye's help. And this is just posturing, Russia won't do a thing especially with the US and the EU now invested in the area in addition to Turkiye.

Not only that but the US has also been putting massive pressure on us to sign the peace agreement with Armenia without them first amending their constitution - specifically the bit that states that Karabakh is a part of Armenia. I don't think our government has folded yet but it's likely they...
