Iran has a well-documented history of using child soldiers, particularly during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), and has promoted a culture of martyrdom that includes suicide tactics. This practice is rooted in the Islamic Republic’s ideology of sacrifice, Shiite martyrdom traditions (especially the Battle of Karbala), and mass mobilization under the Basij paramilitary force.
en.wikipedia.org
Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988): Peak Use of Child Soldiers
- The Basij (paramilitary volunteer militia) recruited hundreds of thousands of children and teenagers, often as young as 9–15 years old (some reports cite boys as young as 9). Many came from poor or rural backgrounds.
amnesty.org - Children were used in human wave attacks, clearing minefields ahead of regular troops, and frontal assaults with minimal training or equipment. They were often sent with little more than plastic “keys to paradise” (symbolizing instant entry to heaven upon martyrdom).
france24.com - Estimates: Over 550,000 Basiji students participated; at least 36,000 were killed. Iranian officials have acknowledged these figures. The International Committee of the Red Cross estimated that at least 10% of Iranian POWs were minors.
amnesty.org - Iconic example: Mohammad Hossein Fahmideh, a 13-year-old who allegedly strapped grenades to himself and detonated under an Iraqi tank in 1980. The regime glorified him as a national hero; October 30 is celebrated as “Student Basij Day” in his honor.
en.wikipedia.org
jpost.com
Suicide Bombers and Martyrdom Culture
- The regime actively promoted suicide/martyrdom operations as a tactic. Fahmideh’s act is sometimes cited as an early example of a modern Muslim suicide attack in contemporary history.
en.wikipedia.org - Children and young volunteers were indoctrinated through schools, media, and Basij programs to seek “martyrdom.” This cult of the suicide bomber influenced Iran’s proxy forces.
spectator.com - Iran pioneered large-scale use of suicide tactics in asymmetric warfare and exported the model through proxies, especially Hezbollah in Lebanon (e.g., the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines, and other embassy attacks).
china.usembassy-china.org.cn
- Syria (2010s–present): Iran and the IRGC recruited Afghan refugees (Fatemiyoun Brigade) and some Iranian children/teens to fight for Assad. Reports documented minors as young as 13–15 in combat roles.
hrw.org - Yemen and other proxies: Iran-backed groups like the Houthis have extensively used child soldiers (thousands recruited). Iranian-supported Iraqi militias have also been implicated.
stimson.org - Domestic use (recent): In 2026, the IRGC/Basij launched recruitment drives for children as young as 12 for “Homeland-Defending Combatants,” with reports of armed minors at checkpoints. This echoes earlier patterns during protests and conflicts.
amnesty.org
amnesty.org
This pattern reflects a long-standing strategy of leveraging ideological fervor and demographic advantages (large youth population) in prolonged conflicts. For deeper reading, sources like Amnesty reports, HRW dispatches, and historical accounts of the Iran-Iraq War provide extensive documentation.

people throwing around the term zionist cracks me up
I'd wager a lot of money that aggressive rate cuts with focus on economy, output, manufacturing and production would absolutely crush inflation right now. Jevons Paradox. People think its the other way around, but its not. The reason we dabbled in deflation during Trump 1.0 was because production and supply was through the roof. Biden's inflationary period wasn't just because of money printing, the administration constricted all supply. people often forget that hundreds of container ships sat at port for months at end. that admin did everything it could to destroy supply in an ever consuming society which never faultered on demand.
cut rates, make money cheap, build, expand, produce, create a massive gluttony of supply to out pace demand and inflation will sink.

Many of the inflation effects were from Trump 1.0 with an insane amount of money printing never seen before on our history as well as him going along with that covid stuff too. They all equally as bad. I was barking about it all on the very thread back then the entire time lol
It’s going to be hard to push rate cuts right now likelyhood keeps getting lower and lower even with Warsh about to become new Fed chair unless numbers can be turned around.

That goes both ways. You ALSO can't accuse someone of pedophile crimes without actual proof. Conspiracy dummies take those claims as if true, and run with it. That recent assassination guy at the WHCD directly referenced these unproven claims in his manifesto letter!! Alan Dershowitz was accused and was able to PROVE the claims as false, and the Epstein victim had to change her story and say she was mistaken.
Many inaccurate, and downright false claims are also within the Epstein document release. Anything can get reported, but only actual facts can be prosecuted. Perhaps a bigger reason that there aren't all that many indictments coming out of this. And the fact that the Epstein victims go to DC rallies but don't actually name names, and make specific claims on the record - makes me think they already settled out of court with an NDA, or don't remember as clearly as they claim, or they were older and LEGAL age when banging those rich powerful guys (after Epstein) for money. Just sayin'
There are some people that have been making the claim that Bibi is manipulating Trump. And if you look at what else they believe, that group of people also tend to be jew-hating conspiracy kooks.
There are people say Trump is an egomaniac and dictator, and fascist etc. The opposite of a guy who get pushed around by the leader of a tiny country like Israel.
And there are people that say Trump is a brilliant strategist and negotiator who became a billionaire my making shrewd deals. The guy famously wrote a book called "Art of the Deal". So WHO is playing WHO??
I generally support aid to Israel, if they really need it, as our strongest ally and longest friend, and only functional democracy in the entire middle east. This week Israel proposed officially winding down all US aid to zero over 10 years. Great.
I love the way Ukraine has fought back against the Russian invasion!! Ingenious and bold. But it isn't our war really. I think Putin saw weakness in Obama/Biden and invaded both times under their 'leadership'. Do you disagree??? But if the US is broke, then cut off Ukraine money too. Glad to sell them the weapons they need, but Europe had less debt than the US, they can cover the bills. Its their region to protect. We have our hands full in the middle east, south america, and keeping China at bay!!
I think that is a nonsense left-wing claim. (1) That is how Trump operates. He flatters when negotiating. Everyone knows it. Trump just wants the killing to stop. If Europe thinks they can help forcibly push Russia out of the land they stole from Ukraine, have at it !! But I recall from WW2 that Russia is willing to lose MILLIONS of soldiers as long as they win in the end. Is Europe??????????? (2) Don't forget when Trump and Putin got into a heated rivalry over Syria! Trump fired cruise missiles, Putin threatened to shoot them down if he tried again, and Trump mocked him on twitter saying go ahead and try, then sent more missiles. And Putin backed down. Then later, Russian Wagner troops tried to rush the US troops guarding an oil refinery in Syria and Trump authorized US troops to blast them. We killed hundreds of Russians at the Battle of Khasham!! Hardly a guy kissing up to Putin (and not afraid to get his hands dirty like Macron and Scholz!)
I am Swedish / Greek. Swedish on my Father's side. My uncle researched our family tree tracing our lineage a dozen generations into Sweden (as the Bengtsson surname). I previously dismissed the Swedish contribution to WW1` and WW2 because their primary history is of neutrality and peace making. They CAN fight, but are famously reluctant to do so. And I would not say Sweden's participation ins WW1` or WW2 really affected the outcome. Could you say the same for the US contribution???
I would love to go to Sweden at some point (after the muslim horde is tamed or removed, and hand grenade attacks cease to exist).
Did an Iceland trip recently. LOVE that place. Beautiful scenery!!!!! And the safest country on earth with no muslim immigrants rampaging around. It was a terrible idea for Sweden to let them in. The Muslim immigrants HAVE home countries. Send them back to fix the problems in their own homelands, rather than importing those problems into YOUR homeland. How can that make sense? We have a phrase for that here now.... we call it "suicidal empathy"

this is the one-two punch I'm talking about. When Trump was making money cheap, and production was soaring, inflation was crushed. When the fake COVID scam too place, production was crushed but demand stayed in place. the administration that followed doubled down on hurting supply. Eggs, chips, oil/gas, etc didn't become inflationary because money was cheap, they became expensive because supply was crushed.
The American Society has proven that the demand will stay strong, regardless of price. supply has a bigger effect.
When we destroyed chicken farms around the world, American's kept buying eggs. but now there's 1 egg avaialble for every 15 that was available. price skyrocketed. Savings accounts took a hard hit and credit cards went up because demand was unfaultering.
Cars and electronics skyrocketed because we killed the supply on chips and other industry related products. increase supply beyond demand and sellers decrease costs.
If I have a car for sale that nobody wants I'm going to firesale it. If I have a car for sale that 100 people want I'm going to sell it for triple.

historically what I learned from watching Trump is that he typically would do something that seems counterproductive and end with really positive results. "art of the deal". I'm not going to blow him or bow down, but I have learned to be cautiously optimistic.
If the shake up in the reserve gets rates down, if the house gets this stupid clarity act to move, crypto gets greenlighted and Trump actually does pull some magic out of his hat in regards to income taxes, then I'll consider putting on some lipstick though.
economy and defense are typically the only things I vote on. everything else is noise. the #1 way a politician can win my heart right now would be abolishing income tax.

I can cheer with you on abolishing the income tax though, just not optimistic on that ever happening.
Remember his first term he campaigned on reducing the income tax forms to a single piece of postcard?

yes but I can tell you that our business has benefited greatly from Trump tax revisions during both admins. During the Biden administration we lost some massive tax bennies that hurt us horribly. deep 6 figures. enough to cover what could have been multiple employees added to payroll. the first year back in office reinstated some of those tax cuts for domestic manufacturers making capital investments and the tax savings ROI is enough for us to add people to pay roll = job creation.
I'm farm raised, and a domestic manufacturer since I was a 6yrs old, with a long family history of military service so I fully admit I am likely biased towards economy and defense based on where I have experienced value (or lack thereof) in my own life when it comes to government.
But the government does not belong in my house, my phone, my liquor, my gun cabinet, or my smokes.
There are republicans out there like Massie and MGT who I in theory would have liked a lot more if they could have been more party focused for the greater good rather than trying to make a name for themselves by opposing Trump. Doesn't mean that Trump is always sinless but watering down the Republican party doesn't help anyone either.

Do you believe the official narrative about 9/11?
Yes or no?
Did you know there is no evidence that Trump hasn't taken the 400,000 salary? Weird, huh.
Also, Trump absolutely grifts off the taxpayer. His families insider trader and family deals are literally proof of that happening.
The Trump kids literally made millions from deals, so why are you even mad?? Those are verifiable. Those deals are directly because of Trump.
They are all grifters. And everyone in the admin has a history of calling Trump a conman. And guess what, they wanted in on it

Speaking of bias towards defense I’m all for 2A, abolishing all gun control laws, the ATF and there is no reason civilians can’t have their own heavily armed private militias, attack choppers, anti-air shyt, battleships, etc, 2A is 2A. Best defense is self defense. Hard punishment for all violent criminals of course. We the people should be as powerful as the government, if not more so.

totally agree. It was really when I owned another business back in 2019 that I realized how shitty government is in this regard. 85,000 new IRS agents? GFY. Government shouldn't be involved at all, and if it is, it should be enabling success, which results in job creation, which creates economy and wealth, rather than looking for ways to penalize and tax and hurt. Every month I had city, county, and state, all sticking their hands in my pockets looking for their cut before I ever made a dime.
literally said this earlier this week to a buddy. I said maybe we're glassing the wrong regions and we need to just start over here.

I love that, "probably donated"
Yeah, I probably donate all of my income as well, and probably sell a phone that I'll never build, and probably tell my son when to buy shares in oil, and probably open a $1.6B slush fund for Jan 6 insurrectionists (who I thought were Antifa?), and probably sell arms to Saudi Arabia for a massive kickback, and probably force govts to give contracts to my family, and probably be best friends with Epstein, and attack alIran who were probably only 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon, and probably give billions to Israel to attack other nations in the interest of "self-defence" and probably bomb a children's school, and probably pardon people who donate to my campaigns, and probably put people in positions of power who have no idea about the things for which they are in power (DEI, anyone?) and probably defund the postal service at election time to inhibit mail in voting, then probably purport the mail in voter fraud lie in order to feel better about losing an election (lost every Presidential election against another male candidate) and probably cost the tax payer hundreds of millions when playing golf by forcing secret service to pay premium accomodations rates at Mar a Lago, and probably stage assassination attempts in order to win reelection.
Good thing it's all probably though. Imagine if any of it were real?
