What's the most pointless war in recent history?
>>998A war where both sides failed to accomplish anything, leading to a waste of money, ammunition and human life
Recent history as in from the Cold War and onwards
>>999Iran-Iraq war.
Also, check'd.
No necessarily wars, but the battles of the Isonzo river lmao
>>999>>1000Cheka'd
>>978Yep, there it is, the 8 year bloody war that pretty much defined my country and solidified the new governments rule, and by extension Khomeini's
Though currently looking at wikipedia now, it doesn't list China as one of the belligerents, which is correct since China never actually engaged in combat
>>980This is actually the first time I even learn China had anything to do with Iran-Iraq war
Kinda ironic how our government is seeking help from people that also helped our enemy
>>1000Not true, the Iran-Iraq war was instrumental in solidifying the Iranian government's power and influence for decades to come
The Iran-Iraq war gained religious significance because of the concept of marty-ism in Shia Islam, So it became a religious war from the get go.
Even the names reflect it, "دفاع مقدس" ( religious defense ) .
>>1056>are you religious?No
>Do you think Shia Islam and socialism can be compatible?I thought the whole point of religion was to assist the capitalist class in keeping their power?
As for your question, you might wanna take a look at Ba'athism ( though the ideology itself is secular )

>Are you using a VPNNo
>does the government allow acces to this site?The only reason I'm allowed to access this site is because its under the radar of the gov, websites like 4chan are banned though
>>1103>this site is under the radar of the government?Sorry for any misunderstanding, English is not my first language
I mean "it flies under the radar of the goverment" as in "leftypol.org is not a popular or even known site to the government for them to even ban"
