I’m kinda annoyed that even with infinite oil money, they proceeded to design a compleltly unsustainable city for as cheaply as possible.

I would have thrown that money into some next gen terraforming and serious civil engineering projects to make a technological hypercity.

Instead we just got the billionaire’s backyard of concrete, glass, and roads.

And Cantonese. Just because its not a small minority doesn’t mean Beijing wants to overrun everything with Mandarin lol.

According to a 2018 study published by Oxford University Press, Ynet publishes articles and interviews at the instigation of the Israeli government, without declaring any connection with the government – these publications aim to stir up pro-Israeli sentiment.[12]

I feel like this is being deliberately overblown, they didn’t even share the full message.

“They” could refer to anyone without the context.

The reason I felt like mentioning this is because Iran is waterlogged in a war at the moment, so they actually started releasing political prisoners because they need public support. There’d be very little reason to go after the soccer team, regardless of their reasoning not to sing their national anthem.

I think the squad size is also like 23 people, so that’s still 17 that didn’t opt to stay.

According to the survivors it was, they said they the first blast made the principal move everyone to the common room for shelter, and the second one struck and killed almost everyone in the shelter.

Surplus 90s equipment and lack of 21st century AMRAAMs is not a serious effort to back Ukraine.

They didn’t even give the F-16s until it was literally too late to make a difference.

I still remember a horrendous reddit article post of everyone championing Ukraine receiving a measly couple hundred ATGMs fom the UK as if that was going to do anything against Russia.

If the US was serious about their offer, they would have provided several squadrons of aircraft, training, the new AIM-260, muntions, etc etc.

While Ukraine was drowning in technology transfer blocks, they shipped all of that stuff to Israel no questions asked.

And for money mind you. Ukraine was still able to fund those purchases at the time.

Just do what Pakistan did and make a publicized nuclear team and nuclear infrastructure that acts as the fall guy for the real nuclear team and real infrastructure.

Also probably maybe have a government and military that isn’t susceptible to espionage.

I feel like if Iran really wants nukes fast, they should just ship that uranium and some cash to NK to have it enriched to weapons grade.

Maybe exchange the missile technology for their warhead design too.

Cuz even though we already are highly aware the US is lying when they say it could be refined super easily in the middle of a war, any attempt to do so would immediately get noticed and promptly bombed.

…

Actually a funnier idea would be to place a bunch of fake inflatable enrichment cylinders in some random location in the mountains so that the US and Israel waste their muntions on a fake encirchment facility lol.

Not even to protect the real one, just to make them turn their attention away from everything else and bomb an empty mountain.

Meanwhile Pakistan after the first 5 seconds of the strait closure:

Trained yeah, but it’s not like they were known for following their handler’s orders after the Afghan Soviet war ended.

They assisted in casuing 9/11, but then they spent the next 10 years trying to find OBL.

I meant “suddenly” as if all of his previous ideological goals didn’t just fly out the window the second he got access to a supply line lol.

Yeah let me know when the EU stops capitulating to US foreign policy literally everytime.

I think only Spain refused to get invovled in the current storm, meaning everyone else would also have left Greenland to dry had the US decided to invade.

Yeah the reformist who suddenly follows CIA instructions to the tee

They didn’t summarize the video correctly (which you should watch).

The video confirms a tomahawk cruise missile was used to strike the naval base, shortly after the school was already hit.

It just confirms that the school was also most likely hit by a tomahawk, a munition only the US is currently fielding in the area.

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t even think Iran has any foreign sleeper cells or connections they can even use. Most of their diaspora are liberals that support the overthrow of the government, and they never made any ideological appeal for terrorism like Al Qaeda or ISIS.

As hilarious as it is, the CIA is probably struggling to find a foreign Iranian who would even care enough to bother lol.

Hey to be fair I know several people who do know, but so poorly that they’ll still be defnitley grinding your gears lol.

I had to resort to used SAS drives. Which is sad because that’s literally the only component that everyone universally suggests not to buy used.

At least mine came with a 1 year warranty, and the SMART tests look great for 50,000 powered on hours.

Lol I’m pretty sure either NYT or WP had an article last week that was like “Lebanese may finally get a chance to rid themselves of Hezbollah” as if Israel didn’t just announce to like a thousand plus villages to “evacuate away from terrorist infrastructure”

He posts his class lectures on YouTube which are worth a watch since he predicted this almost a year ago, and now he has an updated one for this semester.

I think the only thing he got wrong (for now) was the US deploying ground troops. It could still happen, but I think it’ll take some time if it ever does.

But aside from that he even guessed the details right like the IRGC shooting thousands of protesters, and Israel pushing Trump into the war, and the idea that they would mostly bomb city areas which would completely remove the chance of any revolution or regime change.

Yeah it was the super secret drone mothership:

If that were the case, Iran would have claimed the air kills which afaik they haven’t.

Iran did claim to shoot down an F-35 last year which was an obvious lie, so I wouldn’t really put too much weight on this claim.

That being said, an F-15 is more plausible of a target against some hidden SAMs. Even Iraq shot down a prrtty decent handful of aircraft during the gulf war, despite losing their airforce in a matter of hours just because they had a crap ton of SAMs on the ground.
