"CHINA MADE THE US ATTACK IRAN"

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 40 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

China's actual strategy vis-a-vis the USA:

  1. do nothing
  2. win
[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 25 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

headline "CIA Uncovers Chinese Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States" with dateline 4/15/14 11:40AM, above an image with the caption "A recent photo of CPC president Xi Jinping actively engaged in the aggressive observation of American decay."

(based on The Onion's original version)

Iran and the USA, famously in the same region.

[–] context@hexbear.net 40 points 1 day ago

actually earth is a region

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 25 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

China’s (Voldemort) strategy is to have one “Death Eater” in every region (Order of the Phoenix) to tie down any possible rival. Russia (Malfoy) ties down Europe (Hermoine), North Korea (Crouch) ties down Japan (Cho Chang), Pakistan (Yaxley) ties down India (Shacklebolt), and Iran (LeStrange) ties down America (Harry Potter).

China put poop in my pants as an attack dog against me.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 84 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The fact Iran and the US didn't share a region really exposes this bullshit for what it is

Tehrangeles

It is a shopping, eating and gathering place for the large number (estimates range from 500,000–600,000) of Iranian-Americans and their descendants residing in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the largest such community outside of Iran.

[–] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 10 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Exactly, Tehrangeles is the capital of Iranistan, and it was moved around the time of the Iranian Revolution to be farther away from CIA headquarters on the East Coast to make it harder for them to do another coup like the one in 1953. Now the Americans suddenly realized they don't like that the Iranians put their capital so close to all those military bases in California and that's what the war's about.

it's not?

I’m confused. This is, like, the exact opposite of what I said? You even added more evidence?

E: oh damn, you edited with quickness.

Sorry for the ninja edit and glad we're on the same page

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 25 points 22 hours ago

All these propagandists know how to do anymore is to point to something the US does and then just declare that their rivals are the ones really doing that, without any evidence.

It's so fucking lazy.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 30 points 22 hours ago

“Every region”

One of these regions is incorporating a lot of other regions

china keeps sabotaging us and all we have to do to stop this is to stop randomly attacking foreign countries, which is impossible for us to do

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 39 points 1 day ago

These people always project this shit so hard that I always expect that they're setting up for a:

Aha, you all thought it was bad for China to do it, but it's actually the USA!

But that part never comes...vegeta-pain

If this were satire, it would be a banger

Daaaaaamn dragem

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 47 points 1 day ago

Noah must've recently read up on how MLs interpret the world today because this is just a perversion of the ML theory that the US has Ukraine for Europe, Israel for the Middle East, ROK/Taiwan for Asia, etc etc.

projection

Imagine if he actually believes this though. Like entirely possible.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Doesn’t that make all of those places the US’ attack dogs?

And Iran and US aren’t in the same global region, WTF?

[–] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 20 points 22 hours ago

And Iran and US aren’t in the same global region, WTF?

Then how is Iran destroying billions of dollars in US military equipment? Checkmate, tankies

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

projection is a helluva drug

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 37 points 1 day ago

I'm tied down because a Chinese agent keeps shitting my pants

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 32 points 1 day ago

"China's secret plan is to get all the countries the West has been antagonizing to combat the West!"

Wow, what a brilliant and unique plan! Making alliances with people who share the same enemy.
