>>22857262 (OP)Well you know, that's how statecraft works. Everybody seeks to secure their own interests. It is not unique to white people.
The only thing unique about white imperialism is that we vastly improved the territories that we colonized in terms of education, infrastructure and general quality of life. How many lives have been saved in India by modern European medicine? The other unique thing about European imperialism is that we have attempted to make amends for mistakes we are responsible for the paradigm shift in thinking wherein slavery is considered a crime, we fought wars to free slaves from foreign actors, slaves we owed nothing to. In some cases even fought our own brothers to free slaves, 300,000 white union soldiers died to free slavery. Are they celebrated on "Juneteenth"? Was there a pan African fleet assembled to throw the yoke off their brothers enslaved in the Americas? Of course not, they are the ones who captured and sold them into slavery to begin with. Did the Arabs form a union declaring their unilateral opposition to slavery? Absolutely not, they were the ones the African warlords took bounties from to capture slaves for sale on the global market. It was white men who served to gain nothing, who gave their lives for that cause.
Iran has been the enemy of the western man for over 2000 years. Their first foray into our territories was the invasion of the Ancient Greek city states, wherein they sought to enslave and conquer them. Back then they were called Persians. They are the spiritual enemy of the western man, eternally. They haven't forgotten it, but a lot of soibois over here have.
