how modern are we talking? what does "pointless" entail, a bunk causus belli, or simply unnecessary loss of life?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Zanzibar_War >The war, lasting less than three-quarters of an hour, is considered the shortest in recorded history.[58] Several durations are given by sources, including 38,[1][59] 40[60] and 45[61] minutes, but the 38-minute duration is the most often quoted.

>>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
No.1010
>>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
No.1011
>>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 ) .
No.1013
>>1011Also I kinda fucked up the translation there, its better to translate it as "The Holy Defense"
No.1056
>>1039Bit of a late response but I'm curious, are you religious? Do you think Shia Islam and socialism can be compatible? Are you using a VPN or does the government allow acces to this site? If you don't want to respond don't worry.

>>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
No.1103
>>1092Sorry for all these questions and this is mostly just my morbid curiosity speaking but aren't you scared of stating you're not religious here if this site is under the radar of the government? Or is it unlikely anything would come of that?
No.1116
>>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"
No.1118
>>1116Ahh ok, I see now. I had interpreted that as leftypol was known by the government but not seen as something to censor.
