Pezeshkian winning an election with the lowest turnout in decades. Says a lot about the grievances and continuing waning legitimacy of the Ayatollahs regime.
But is a tactic from them to allow a conservative win instead of an hardliner so as I boost legitimacy.

Meanwhile, some people cannot practice what they preach.

They want to takeover UK, they don't want to respect their host. .
The UK people did not tell them to go back to Ogbomosho and vote

Stop trying to create unnecessary attacks here.

Just so you know, at least three of the four Nigerians who won MP elections in the UK recently were Yoruba. So this is not even a flex.

As Omoluabis, respect for others, especially the host communities is paramount to the concept of being an Omoluabi. We have never and do not disrespect our hosts. Unlike some other tribes who boasts about 'developing places [s]through prostitution, kidnapping and distribution of drugs[/s]', we don't go anywhere and disrespect the hosts by calling their place "no mans land". That's why from London to Atlanta to Kaduna to Lafia, no group of people have ever had problems with Yoruba immigrants.

I'm sure quite a lot of countries will have a look to say about others we are unfortunate to share the country with. From South-Africa to almost the whole of Asia, their penchant for 'developing places' is widely known.

Masoud favors appeasement. At least that's the sense I got from him on the campaign trail and in the debates.
If he was in Russian politics, we'd describe him as part of the fifth column Atlanticist bloc who want rapprochement with the West.

Jalili is the hardliner who'd have been more open to pushing for a nuke or doing whatever it took to establish deterrent.
But the downside of course is that he is a fundamentalist Islamist.

I think Masoud candidacy was a play by the Ayatollah to douse domestic tensions. Foreign policy is dictated by a broad coalition, so Masoud alone wouldn't for example be able to singlehandedly press pause on resurgent Iranian nuclear plans.

To wrap up, the complication in Iranian politics is that the folks who are most likely to be pro-nuke and pro-multipolarism are the ultras (the fundamentalists who want to dictate the nitty-gritty of social norms). And domestically that's a huge issue, because the cross-section of Iranians, like the Turks are very intelligent people who don't dig hardcore Arabic Islam.

For instance, hijab is not supposed to be a big deal, most would say it should be up to each practitioner. But the mullahs, like all religious figures around the world, want a more orthodox social paradigm, because that's the spring that feeds their power and influence. Unlike Turkey, whose current political system was founded by a moderate nationalist; Iran's current political system was founded by a fundamentalist Islamist.

So the folks who want more secularism in Iran tend to also hold the positions of or align themselves with those who are Western-facing. Iran needs a moderate nationalist; but the Guardian Council vets the candidates. So they can't have an Obi or Farage just wake up, move or found a political platform then run on that sh*t, ascribe independent power; then use that to force change and permutations amongst the establishment.

But we'll see. Politics a game of appearances. Maybe Masoud has said all the right things to get elected and would eventually become a Putin-lite. That said, odds are he will essentially be a slightly leftist Rouhani.

⚡THE U.S. REPLACES AGING NUKES FOR $160 BILLION

The cost of an Air Force program to replace old nuclear warheads with newer ones has skyrocketed to $160 billion from $95.8 billion.

The project, now named the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile program, is managed by Northrop Grumman Corp. The program will replace the aging Minuteman III missiles.

This is world news thread young man. UK election news is also part and parcel of the agenda of the thread. It's even more important when you have Nigerians in the UK participating in the election.

Just read and pass. You must not respond. Do you understand?
