It is tricky to translate since it is not in Standard Arabic. It basically contrasts the sorry state of the Arab World at the mercy of the US with North Korea’s resilient and heroic opposition to the US. Here’s a translation:

If only I were North Korean,

Standing tall, my head held high.

Embarrassing that fool Bush,

Crushing his head beneath my sandals.

If only I were North Korean,

Never yielding, never wavering,

Never once showing cowardice,

Never bowing in humiliation or compromise.

My head as firm as the mountains.

If only I were North Korean,

Saying with a thunderous voice:

“We do not fear you, you deluded one.

Do whatever you wish —

You don’t know the men you’re facing.”

If only I were North Korean,

Never once in his life did he submit,

Never allowed his palace to be searched,

His hands and waist never trembled,

And he twisted the ropes with confidence.

If only I were North Korean,

Saying: “I have a reactor for you,

Producing thousands of bombs,

With range reaching all the way to New York,

You fool, son of fools.”

If only I were North Korean,

I’d burn you in the middle of your home —

You and everyone who joined your war.

Don’t think I’m Mubarak,

Nor am I Saddam in my foolishness.

If only I were North Korean,

The Arabs are a strong nation,

But their zeal betrayed them,

Ignorance slaughtered them,

And their foundation became people of foolishness.

If only I were North Korean,

If we had walked upon the path of Islam,

We would not have been defeated nor lost,

By God’s will we would have triumphed,

And gained honor and beauty.

If only I were North Korean…

Oh, North Korean…

The people of Samsung Korea yearn for freedom

For years, decades, the US kept talking about pivoting to East Asia and containing China and yet it keeps digging itself deeper in West Asia. Not just driven by imperialism to control oil trade and trade routes but also because of apocalyptic Christians who think they will bring Jesus back.

Russia does win here, but hopefully not just Russia. Hopefully East Asia too can seize the moment and free themselves from US imperialism.

I was hoping it would get destroyed.

Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq and Saudi Arabia don’t have Israeli ambassadors, only Bahrain and UAE.

On the upside this should help Russia.

The Burger Empire goes to war for oil usually, this time they went to war to bring Jesus back. Maybe he will change water to oil?

Using GNU+Linux is not much of a challenge, I have been doing it for 20 years. I want another ReactOS challenge.

absolutely criminal

Yes. The name is taken from this poem https://www.diwanalarab.com/ليتني-كوري-شمالي.html

That was quick.

And unite Sunnis and Shia? They prefer to target each sect separately.

There are three possible outcomes:

1. Best: The Islamic Republic survives this war.
2. Bad: Iran is broken up along ethnic lines.
3. Worst: The racist and violent puppet monarchy is restored.

I want the IR to survive but if the Persian chauvinist monarchy comes to power then it will be hell for minorities in Iran and it is better off broken apart.

It looks bleak at times, specially after what the West did to Gaza, but Iran isn’t Gaza and if Afghanistan survived a regime change so should Iran.

His grandfather established the dynasty after the British used him as a puppet to overthrow the Qajar dynasty.

There is no draft. They volunteered thinking they will have an easy time killing “mozlems”

You don’t have to deflect. Christianity gave us the Crusades and Zionism.

Biden/Harris would have done the same, s/he was okay with a genocide in Gaza why wouldn’t s/he be okay with another in Iran?

Things are looking up… for Iran.

I am not asking for much, I just want the US to lose to Iran even more decisively and quickly than it lost to Afghanistan, and for Tel Aviv to look like Rafah today.

Every terminal program I used allows you to set its colours independent of the global theme.

They purposefully target civilians, and make sure there are no survivors by targeting rescue crews. Unfathomable evil.
