The shit is that if Sanders either got the nomination or grew a pair of balls big enough so he would run as an independent, he would beat both in a landslide

Sorry I have no clue whether or not it exists or not. It might be on the French side of the internet because the author is French, but I'm not sure.

Also, no evidence that any missiles were fired whatsoever

We don't even know which group launched the strike or where it originated from

Fair enough, but wouldn't people in coastal cities see them considering this attack was in the middle of the country? Most reports have corrected to saying it was a few drones that air defenses blew up, but there's still a lot of confusion. A supposed "US official" said it was an Israeli attack before the zionists even claimed it, and the media reported missiles for some reason in the first place.

Iranian sources tell #AlMayadeen that no external aggression against Iran was launched on Friday. What is being circulated about an Israeli attack on #Iran are lies and are part of a misinformation war, according to our sources. Sources also added that complicit #US media outlets are waging a proxy war of disinformation on behalf of the Israeli occupation. This comes after #Iran's Space Agency confirmed that several drones, of unspecified origin, were downed over Iranian airspace. The agency said that no missile attack on Iran occurred on Friday.

It's a nothingburger. How would Israel even launch missiles at Iran with no one in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, etc seeing it? From a stealth fighter? It's probably a failed attack from the MEK or ISIS-K or some other terrorist proxy.

Ervand Abrahamian's works are the best scholarship on Iran, he contextualizes the revolution and Khomeini in its historical and ideological context as a synthesis of Islam, Marxism, and political structures of Gaullist France. He deconstructs the idea of Iran as a totalitarian theocracy and shows it's much closer to like, Sukarno's Indonesia than any other country. I'd recommend A Modern History of Iran and also Essays on the Islamic Republic .

They did the same thing in supporting the Kuomintang from the Japanese conquest of China right up until the Maoists pushed them out of the mainland. Do you think that perhaps inferior methods of military and industrial organization could have played a part in this, or should Mao have called Stalin red fash and given up?
