Not sure why Iranians would want Trump dead. He's doing more to kill their enemy (the US) than they ever could. I think this is just taunting to keep Trump doing what he is doing.

Might have something to do with bombing an elementary school and killing over 100 children.

Or maybe something to do with assassinating their leader.

I guess some want him dead for killing their leaders, bombing their country and threatening to commit genocide.

A sane president would probably end the entire campaign and that'd benefit Iranians more. It's kinda nice not being in danger of being bombed.

His handler and/or biggest idol, Putin has waged a useless war for 12 years now in Ukraine. Trump seems restrained compared to that shit.

Wish someone would just do this already instead of constantly talking about it.

I wonder how that timeline where the shooter didn't miss is doing.

I'm no analyst but my best guess is that they are offering hope to a suffering world.

Honestly, I like this a lot more than the old death to America stuff I grew up hearing about. This new one is a unifying message, one most Americans can get behind.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 29 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I dunno. I'm really coming around to the 'death to America' message as well.

I thought that was the kfc logo for a second and was like... Okay...

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

It means hope.

What are they waiting for?

I'm not an expert on the language, and I barely remember arabic scripts and alphabets, but I'm fairly certain the direct translation here isn't even the common mistake of 'down with/death to'. I think it's the unambiguous 'kill'. As in its saying literally "We will make Trump killed."

I'd love if someone who knows Farsi can confirm or refute my guess.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Quick FYI: Iran is not part of the Arabic world and their language is unrelated. An Iranian friend once told me he would rather learn French than Arabic, as it would be easier for him.

The Iranians have been at odds with their Arabic neighbors for a long time and have much closer links with the people of Afghanistan, for instance. Not that that would be enlightening to most people but I thought I would mention it because many people lump Iran together with "the Arabs" since it is still part of the Middle East.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 8 points 6 days ago

They never said it was Arabic or related to Arabic. They said Farsi, which it is, and Arabic scripts, which Farsi uses.

They're completely different language families, but they use the Arabic alphabet. Kinda like how Finnic, Germanic, Romance, and Celtic languages all use the roman alphabet though being unrelated to each other.

Less talk, more action.

WWJD -> WWKT

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 days ago

I wish them the very best of luck.

Promises, promises.
