Yes that is true. The UK contributes to the defense operations of the imperial aggressors against the Republic.

  What's your view on the Republic's imperial aggression against Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen?

    Which Republic are we talking about? The Islamic Republic or the western "republics"?
    • breppp 7mo ago
      I am talking about the Islamic Republic setting up local mercenary forces in order to extract resources from the local government in Iraq and Lebanon. That's called Imperialism and was common among european powers in the 19th century

They should have known only the United States of America has the divine right to invade countries and extract their resources. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4grxzxjjd8o https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4grxzxjjd8o > That's called Imperialism and was common among european powers in the 19th century Fortunately, the USA does not want to revive such practices, as they indicated in this speech: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/marco-rubio-munich-trump-european-allies.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/marco-rubio-munich-t...

I was merely stating that he is conveniently ignoring Iran's imperialist behavior

            Equating Iran's struggle against a genocide in Palestine with Imperialism is misinformed at best, criminal at worst. Either way, only a zionist could say that, which makes this conversation completely useless.

              Can't say how taking over Iraq for economic reasons helps the Palestinians but sure
