Comments: Farzad: My respect for you is mutual. In fact, you along with few others who no longer post here have been the reason I am still posting here. we have always had our differences be it in football ( Daie, CQ, ...), but respect has always been there. I have been in this country for over 33 years, and now a proud citizen. I plan to spend the rest of my life here and I do care about the future be it democrat or republican. I am telling you that for the first I feel concerned about the future of this country, and it is not only about Trump. This is the most incompetent admin that I recall. Most are incompetent to start with and worse they are acting like sheeps following their shepard. This country has seen some great presidents during modern times including some republicans such as Nixon, Reagan, Busch and even George W. They all made USA, truely a great state, leading the world in technological advancement in virtually every sector you can name it. Yes, they also accumulated large debts, due to being a super power, wars ( most were needed), desease, etc... They did in a very turbulent time in the world post WWII. But it never bothered or worried me, due to the strength of US economy. It is like you make a large investment, initially hard to pay the loan, but as long as your business is thriving, there is no concern. Part of this success, or I could say the major element of it has been free market economy, which means government play no role in private sector. For the first time, we have an admin in this country who is not following this rule. This will shake the fundation of this great country.

Comments: Saeed. I love this country. Lived 48 years of my life her. I don't see myself like Quds people see themselves as second class citizen here. 15 million more people voted for him than in 2016. Why? Because they could not accept where this country was going. Trump is my president as Biden was. We have to respect the decision of the majority voters . That is what democracy is. As much as I was against the previous administration, Biden was still my president. Just like the worst of all GWB was. What changes things is the voting booths. You have to have the right alternative so that a Trump from outside of establishment does not come to play. I have shit load of respect for you. Because as you said you don't have the kalleh ghormeh sabzi mentality.😀 You believe in what you believe. You don't just post ghormeh sabzi stuff and cartoons and joke and shit like others. I can easily sit down and debate with you. I cannot debate with cartoons. And my debate is not about I am wrong and you are right. It is about how I see things changing and folding and how you see it. I am not here to change your views I can't. No one has the strength to change you except yourself. All I can tell you is, what I see and why I see it that way. We all should be able to express how we see things without getting offended. For now. It is what it is. I see it more like a world event like post WWII or post Soviet fall. A پوست اندازی Was needed just like in other events in history and we are seeing history in making. From French Revolution to post WWII. It is simply fascinating simply in terms of the change. One thing that never change is "the change" itself. Nothing stays as it has been.
Comments: Farzad: I can not understand your stand on Trump. He is going to be nothing but disaster for America. As many wall street pundit would say "everything was in order before him", and I mean every thing. Even inflation inherited from covid was heading down in a big way. Trump is now being called everything and gets worse as soon as he open his mouth. "Parade of incompetence" is the last one. You must know the importance of wall street on current and future affair of USA. Loss in wall street is not only about retirees, but also capital which is used to finance start ups. Forget about deficit, nobody with a right mind can think US can repay or save that much ($40 T). it must be done by growing the economy. Yet, this admin is not in order to go in that direction.
Comments: Well the Copa del Rey Final won't be a Madrid Derby. It will be El Clasico. Much better.
Comments: Liverpool won the Mercyside game.
Comments:
Comments: I dont think there is an Iraqi like invasion or liberation in plans. Just destruction of weaponry nuclear development facilities. Trump is not into regime change and will negotiate as he needs to cut spending and prosper USA and Americans. That is all these cost cutting, Tariffs and external investments are all about. Starting a war is totally against his philosophy. Engaging in a war like against Iraq is not even possible in iran. Iraq was way too flat and easy invasion. You got Zagros and the sacred Alborz to deal with. He'll negotiate
Comments: IRI's sole concern is to survive and be able to sell their oil. Even at big discount. They will negotiate. And I think that's a much better option for all Iranian people if the alternative was an Iraqi style "Liberation"
Comments: Saeed and I thought I came up with "Ghormeh Sabzi" mentality. 😀
Comments: Trump seriously considering Iran's offer of indirect nuclear talks![]()
Comments: دریا سالار کیوان حکیم زاد
Comments: One of my closest bodies, now living in northern CA sent me a picture he took with Gheleich and Hassan Habibi about a yar ago. First Gheleich was so fragile and old, even almost 2 years ago. Hassan Habibi, who is few years older than Gheleich still looked quite sharp.
Comments: Alex Vatankhah is the son of former Perspolis (Taj, Rah Ahan, Shahin), Büyük Vatankhah, nephew of Perspolis and TM legend Reza Vatankhah.
Comments: Yup. If you were pro Russia or China you were intellectual. Roshanfekr. Golsorkhi and Jazani were roshanfekr whereas Hoveida, farokhroo parsa, Nahavandi, khalaatbari who did so much for their country were not. Bazargan was also so called roshanfekr, دنبال کون خمینی افتاد Ghelich not doing well health wise.
Comments: Goaldoost. Extended one
Comments: Kamkar: I agree 100% with your charcterization of so called "iranian intellectuals" during shah time. First of all, almost all of them now be Ghohkhory oftand. This is just demonstrating how shallow they were. As it appears, the communist propaganda machine was working well everywhere, and these people fell to their agenda. And it also shows how much Iran would have been much worse off, if Mossadagh would have succeeded, in exact opposite to what some of existing opposition groups claim.

Comments: politically speaking 60's and 70's were weird times worldwide. There were leftist movement all over the world. All Latin American countries were facing the communist ideology and that alone was the reason for many dictators like Pinochet coming to power. Iran was a much more volatile situation having hundreds of miles in common border with the Soviets. The USSR like today's Russia was never a reliable friend or even a natural country to us. They have screwed us more than any other nation. And all those so called intellectual leftist in Iran were just so stupid that they couldn't see the path of progress that Iran was taking at the time. I'm not a big fan of monarchy but I believe Shah was more to the left than those idiots. He had many social programs. sazeman-e shir-o-khorshid, Free education all the way to university, feeding school children at and many other things. My younger brother and sisters would come home with Oranges, Pistachio, and cookies from school. 90% of Iranians today can not afford buying pistachio for their Norooz sofreh.
Comments: I do not want to bad mouth Parviz Gheleich, since he was a great player. Hi father was a worker working in a factory during Mossadegh time and a tudeh party member. Tudeh party was like a poisson for Iran. Almost every educated person in Iran were either a member or supported of the party. How can a popular party be so wrong and an agent of an enemy country? And yet, they had an intellectual twist to it.
Comments: Yes Saeed. I recall his political POV now. Ghelich's head always smelled like Ghormeh Sabzi. You could tell that from his body language when RP was handing out trophies to the players.
Comments: Yes, that is Mostafa Arab and now Dr Arab, and still alive, and well. When he played football, he worked in Iran air force as a surgent. He obtained his Ph.D after moving to US. He was one of the figures openly advocating for Shah when it was not popular. Clearly showing, the rest of people including myself did not know sheet about politics. Most footballers were not politically informed back then. Parviz Gheleich was a leftie.
Comments: Is the guy to the left Mostafa Arab? Is he still alive?

Comments: Dear Ali P: I would say it with as straight face as you can imagine. Please read, read and read without bias. She may not be liked, mainly by her opponents, but nobody can argue her knowledge, not even her dire enemies.
Comments: HAMVATAN, this is a great summary of Bernie Sanders, if you have the time to watch (13 minutes). Everything he says is a fact, indisputable. This is one of the articles that he refers to, from 2020: ![]()
Comments: "the most capable Politician, US has seen in modern time, Hillary Clinton." Saeed, even the Democrats cannot say this with a straight face!! Seriously, please don't get offended, but tell me which universe you live in ... I would love to visit there!
Comments:
Comments: How many times do you score 2 own goals in one game! I never forget my one own goal on a header back in 80's in the Sunday Leagues. foolad's Nemati scored two own goals for Sepahan.
Comments: Seems like if things proceed normally, Traktor will finally win the league this year. Hopefully we won't see a surprise "accident". Khaybar most probably remain in IPL as well.
Comments: Coke. Lisboa is very nice. Among Arab counties Muscat was really impressive. A very different crowd of Arabs compared to for example other GCC countries. Very educated society with almost everyone with ability speaking English. Very historic and deep culture and they admire their Sultan. Yemen and Oman were essentially the very original inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula. Rabat is also beautiful. I think the whole county of Morocco from Tangier to Casablanca to Marrakech is a must see. The Caucasus Yerevan, Tbilisi, and Baku are all also a must visit for all Iranians in terms of cultural closeness. Pure fun. Ashgabat, Dushanbe, Tashkent, and Ulaanbaatar are on the waiting list. One metropolitan international city that many Iranians in US miss is Mexico City. Only 3.5 hours flight from LA and is one of the most cultural capitals on universe.

Comments: Beauty is in the eye of beholder. I think the most beautiful capital is Stockholm on a sunny summer day. But the most interesting one was Valletta Stockholm ![]() Valletta ![]() ![]()
Comments: What is your most favorite capital Farzad? Mine is Lisboa.
Comments: It was be 60th capital in the world I visited. خدا عمری بده My goal is 100.
Comments: And today I visited Bratislava. Bratislava and Vienna are two capitals closest to one another only 45 miles apart. 🙂
Comments: Saeed. In about 4 years when / if Democrats take the Whitehouse back I am sure Democracy (as they define it) tags along with them. You are right, under Trump the chance of these guys making a democratic Hoseinieh in the Whitehouse is slim to none. But ... again you are right... under Biden this could have been manifested in no time. Democratic Progressive Liberals in major European countries like UK, France, and Germany are already there. I am overseas been in Dubai and Austria Belgium and Germany and Dubai looked least Islamic. Democratic Islamic Republic of Belgium is the place to see.
Comments: Something that you all know. Another point about Iranian movies. It looks so stupid in parties and weddings they show a bunch of نره خر dancing and having fun while the oppressed women are only allowed to be sitting and maybe in a subtle way clapping. So stupid!
Comments: Scary times. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHt8af0REN1/?igsh=NGpqM3o2YzY4NDlz
Comments: My weirdest thoughts of the day! Every time I see reports or movies from Iran I notice the extreme makeup that women do in painting their faces. The most shocking is the Eyebrow tattooing among Iranian women. It's so repulsive to look at. Men have also started using eyebrow tweezer. What the heck!
Comments: Not only Trump is on course to turn this great country down, much more below what you can imagine. He is on course to destroy democracy if he is allowed, which I hope will not be more than 2 years. By then democrats should be able to get the house and senate back. Only in that case, he can be stopped. His agenda is to go after any media opposing him or even neutral. This is basis of dictatorship. What Farzad is posting here is exactly this movement is. Next will be judiciary, another pillar of democracy. By taking control of media and judiciary, this country will be another Chrsitian republic of America, with Trump as the supreme leader.
Comments: Modi👍
Comments: Saeed, rest assured when and if the US was given an option to chose between Israel or the rest of the world, they will go with the chosen people. No doubt. And sadly IRI does not understand the extend of American support for the state of Israel. Basically, If I was a smart person, I would not mess with Israel. Specially for the fact that they don't even have an inch of common border with us. And not our business what they're doing in Gaza. It's sad to watch the genocide, but we gotta take care of our own first and foremost.
Comments: wow.. Modi. Powerful. Anyways. Stay away from CNN FoX and MSNBC. These podcasts of critical thinkers just amazing. Beats ghormeh sabzi line of thoughts.
Comments: I have said this many times " Trump is here to fuck United state of America", pure and simple. You can name it whatever you wish (anti globalist, anti neocon or whatever fuck that means, MAGA, etc..), but that is the end point. Here is a quote from the most capable Politician, US has seen in modern time, Hillary Clinton. " It is not the hypocrisy that bothers me, it is the outmost stupidity. US government will soon be unable to function even the most basic service. Market is in complete free flow and even the most positive analysts now predict much darker days ahead. Tarrif is destroying many industries and successful corporations. Soon, Israel will be the only friend US will have in the world. And someone please tell me what the fuck was the agenda?
Comments: #Urgent and very important! Oman has verbally conveyed Iran's message to American officials, but America has reacted coldly!!!! Oman has announced that it will deliver the original message to the United States within the next 48 hours, but American officials have responded by saying that this means a negative response to the US President's demands and the loss of a diplomatic solution!!!!!!!
