Mostly historical analysis. Sometimes memes for fun.

[Basil @Basil2733]

A whole genre of literature is dedicated to cashing in on and adding to the lies of the "Iraq bad" era of late 1980s-present. Many millionaires were made from this including criminals and liars from Iraq and pro-war authors in US and other countries.

[Basil @Basil2733]

Crazy to think that despite everything Iraq has been through, without the invasion and deliberate creation of the corrupt genocidal terrorist anti-Iraq regime, it would be on par with nations like Spain, Italy, England today.

[Adventureseeker @Adventures59512]

@Mkl24511 This is like how Iran claimed to opposed the invasion publicly while privately giving helping the Americans now sure Saudi Arabia wasn’t as brutal as Iran and their involvement stoped or not as influential as Iran but it doesn’t change the fact that they supported the invasion

[Basil @Basil2733]

@Mkl24511 @TalAbdulrazaq You're wrong :) https://t.co/TMonOj1JL7

Saudi Arabia was a key part of the invasion of Iraq, which would have been much harder if they weren't. Your regime are Zionists that hate Islam and anti-Zionist Arab states.

[Xumas @xumas_iq]

Notice how the Saudi Official himself said the Saudis helped America. But yet this guy denys it.

[Basil @Basil2733]

@WVanwagenen It's the best source for putting the Anfal genocide myth to rest, and does so very easily. It has tons of other great topics it covers too. All of Pelletiere's books and studies are worth gold. He gets some things wrong, against Iraq at that, but overall the best Iraq historian.

[Basil @Basil2733]

Stephen Pelletiere does not speak confidently unless he's 100% certain it's true. The reason he doesn't get into greater detail when he says that the DIA investigated Halabja and proved Khomeini gassed the Kurds is that doing so would violate his security clearance and get jailed

More than that, actually.

Russia can produce up to 120 ballistic missiles per month: this is the greatest threat we are currently facing.

فضله خيركم هذه الاموال و الذهب تم العثور عليه في واحده من بيوت المجاهد عدنان الجميلي شريك الحجاج المجاهدين و ذيول المكون السني

و للامانه بالنسبه للسيايين السنه الشخص الوحيد الذي لم يتعامل و يُشارك عدنان الجميلي هو خميس الخنجر ليس لانه يستحرم و مبتعد عن المال العام
بل عدنان و حسب توجيهات معازيبه من المليشيات و الاحزاب السنيه الاخرى حذرته من التعامل مع الخنجر و ان لايفتح له باب داخل المصافي التي تم تسليمها لعدنان

كان عدنان اغلى من ابنائهم عليهم

Halabja survivor testifies that it was Iran that gassed Halabja, not Iraq.

The truth about the Halabja Massacre : A short thread 🧵

(Contribution to research by you would also be very much appreciated!)

This is dedicated to all who have died in the hands of the evil and despicable IRI.

[Basil @Basil2733]

@unexis_ @patriach2051 Western "leftists" idolize far right radical Islamic dictators like Khomeini but then hate sovereign socialist leaders. 😂

[a @unexis_]

@patriach2051 This is what Khomeini thinks of you leftists.

He massacred leftists on the streets and gassed Iraqi Kurds in the Halabja Massacre.

[Basil @Basil2733]

This may surprise people but there was a time when Iraq was rapidly developing and was one of those countries where millions of foreigners traveled to or worked in. Iraq then compared to post-2003 are entirely different.

[Peđa C @PeaC647521]

@TheOtherSideRu Not migrants, but temporary workers. They do the work and go back. That's how workers from my country used to go to work in Iraq, Libya. For a few months to a year.

[Basil @Basil2733]

@WVanwagenen I know it was a false flag attack as an excuse for the regime and its death squads to intensify their genocide against Sunni Muslims, and that a reporter covering it was killed. I didn't keep/bookmark sources.

[Basil @Basil2733]

Can't reply to you directly. Israeli chem weapons support to Iran came after the Iran-Iraq War, but Iran was already using CW by 1987 against Iraq.

@ahvaz23 @Basil2733 @FlammablePunch May I ask the name of this book?

[Basil @Basil2733]

@clashreport Daily life for Ukrainians even in the capital, while 1000+ troops die daily. Yet propaganda says that Ukraine is winning and Russia has over a million casualties, which is total fantasy at best with how the war has been fought.

[Basil @Basil2733]

@sarimalmunki @mrbox536602 @anekkaku @xumas_iq I can confirm he is a lying coward. He used ChatGPT to get given old debunked propaganda on a topic he's never read or studied in his life, and I embarrassed him badly. See this thread:

[Basil @Basil2733]

@mrbox536602 @maykoln @xumas_iq This is from 1994 and has been debunked. Joost Hiltermann was hired by the US government to create propaganda against Iraq. Your link also gives ZERO evidence that Iraq was responsible for civilian deaths at Halabja except to say that Iran lost 2000 troops

@TalAbdulrazaq All-in on regime change is the only good option for the region and world. Trump needs to stop ironically being the nicest US president in history. Any other US president would have leveled a dozen Iranian cities and destroyed every piece of civilian infrastructure by now.
