In order to the my bet you must say "I'll that that bet." You may not add/modify/delete any words.

I bet it won't.

Jews think they can do all of this and face no consequences, as if they aren't surrounded on all sides by people that hate them for what they did to them. The hubris on these people is at all-time highs, and listen we're talking 109 hello who just joined

They also start wars that they claim they won, but also they were genocided by the jews as a result. Islam is a multi-faceted religion, it's not just about raping children (although it is mostly about raping children)

yeah the jews made them mismanage their water and blow all of their money fighting enemies they could never possibly defeat. that's why khomeini only has $7 to bribe his way out of getting lynched.

Witness report from Tehran:

"Tehran, January 9, 2026—they killed many tonight, many...

I spoke with a few of my friends. In our alley in Sohrawardi, Tehran, right in front of my mother’s eyes, they shot a boy from behind and he was killed. My mother is in very bad shape, and I have completely lost my mind over it.

My friends also said that in Dowlat, Pasdaran, Sohrawardi, Shariati, and Andarzgoo, they [security forces] were firing many direct shots."

🇮🇷 If you’re wondering why I think the regime won’t survive these protests, my answer is is simple: Starlink

The regime has shut off access to the internet during previous massive protests in 2019 and 2022.

This makes it harder for protesters to coordinate, and makes it easier for the regime to conceal their violent crackdown.

Starlink changes the calculus. Protesters now have an alternative, and that could become the deciding factor on whether they succeed in toppling the regime.
