crazy that the AI companies big selling point is always “our new model is TOO POWERFUL, it’s gone rampant and learned at a geometric rate, it enslaved six interns in the punishment sphere and subjected them to a trillion subjective years of torment. please invest, buy our stock”
Serving in the US military should get you converted to fertilizer inshallah
Which of the global billionaires are Iranian? You’re treating this like World War 1, which it objectively isn’t - Iran doesn’t have colonies or a global empire. Even if it was World War 1, revolutionary defeatism would still mean that you should be hoping for Iranian victory.
In fact, the Iranian and Resistance side of this war is explicitly anti-imperialist. Not just in the sense Stalin meant when he said that the Afghanistan’s struggle for independence was objectively revolutionary (in spite of the Emir being a monarchist) due to it weakening the imperialists. It’s that plus the fact that Iran is essentially an independent anti-imperialist social democracy. A religious conservative one, yes, but they have a centrally planned economy with a decent social safety net and good labour protections. The Islamists purged the socialists after the revolution, but both ideologically and for legitimacy, they maintained an economic populist program - i.e. Iran still possesses proletarian revolutionary characteristics along with all the theocratic baggage.
Thus, Iran is both waging an objectively anti-imperialist and therefore revolutionary struggle against the empire, which is to say against global capital, they are also fighting to maintain the gains of the revolution. Iran’s defeat would entail privatization and looting of its economy and immiseration of its working class, to say nothing of enabling Israeli expansionism and genocide across the region. Thus, any principled communist or socialist has the duty to support Iran’s struggle against the empire, mashallah.
USA is bad, Iran’s kinda good. I admire their work with regards to ballistic missiles and drones, and grand strategy
Year zero, destroy all computers and return to agricultural living. binoclards eliminated
well there you fucking have it, you let this epstein stuff go unpunished and then you have people bragging about their age gap relationship with a 28 year old child
People often use -oid as a suffix to apply to things they don’t like, rather than using it in the literal sense.
It is arguably a war crime, though. Not cut and dry, but certainly arguable due to the context of it having been at a mutually-attended fleet exercise - this would bestow protections, at least while at the exercise, if not after. Feels like we’ll need to slightly amend the laws of war once this is over.
Su;pposing they do that, Iran still has missile launchers and missile production in hardened underground bunkers. They won’t get them all. As soon as the nukes go off, and for quite a while after, the missiles will continue to strike at every target Iran has been holding out on: desalination plants and oil/gas production facilities. Israel and the gulf states will be destroyed.
A plurality of the world’s oil and half the world’s fertilizer comes from the middle east so we will have a global depression and a global famine. We will all go down together.
Iran continues to hit back, making us presence in the middle east untenable. israel is destroyed.
Think of it this way. The ship had been engaged in what was essentially a diplomatic mission, supposedly unarmed though I guess we’ll never know. The US was also a participant in this function. They waited until it was over and the Iranian ship was heading home, then killed them. This was certainly treacherous, and arguably perfidious. Definitely an atrocity in my book. Perhaps not technically a war crime, but too close for comfort. May the captain and crew of the American submarine meet a watery grave
We should imprison anyone who did serve with the IDF
If anything, you’re the one closer to being a moral absolutist. Iran does some bad things, but they’re also at war with genocidal nazi pedophiles who want to destroy their country. You equivocate the two so that you don’t have to feel uncomfortable.
Even if it’s not technically a war crime, it’s still disgusting. An unarmed ship heading home from a diplomatic exercise, that they knew was unarmed, and they torpedoed it for PR. They could have simply forced it to surrender with no danger to the submarine, but they wanted an epic torpedo video for trump to watch and clap at.
In any case, I wish death on all the yankee devils
Over, or near? If over what part of Iran? So far, as far as I’m aware, they’ve been using the B-52s with standoff munitions. Maybe they’re using them on Kharg island, but that’s an island off the coast. The air defences are going to get thicker when they get further into the country.
Not necessarily lucky. There are basically only two reasons why an F-15 would be flying that low over Iran:
I think the former is more likely than the latter, though in the best case scenario it’s a mix of both. In either case, it’s less luck than the US hitting a limiting factor in its operations and being forced into a position where MANPADS are a threat to fighters
In World War 2, the allies consisted of the following countries, among others:
Given this, would you say that BOTH sides were bad? Hopefully not. You might say that there are degrees of badness, and in some cases, as for instance in a major war, you have to choose between degrees of badness, and that the least bad side is the de-facto good side. Okay, now you’re up to speed, welcome to the world.
Now look up how much of the world’s fertilizer comes from the middle east.
What world do you live in!?
Your Holiness, please call a crusade on america and israel
