    Yeah but we’ve seen in the region with the green revolutions that there’s a high risk of Islamist takeover arising from chaos.

    Which is exactly what happened in Iran in 1979. The revolution began as an urban middle class revolt against autocracy
    and was quickly usurped by fanatic anti Western clerics who support base resided in primarily rural areas and urban poor communities.

    Elbows up!

      Islam is foul.

      It’s been a while since I posted that. Don’t want anyone to forget.

          In my old age I've grown tired of that writing style with the affectation of too cool for school, and all the swear words and eyerolls at everybody who isn't smart like them. But I listened to If Books Could Kill this morning, and the hosts of that show both come from ground zero of whatever alt culture that is. I see that guy's moniker is "planefag". Maybe that affectation is big in certain LBGTQ communities. One of the hosts of that show is trans. This morning, they were dunking on In Covid's Wake.

          Education is extremely important.

                I rarely see that style but I can imagine tiring of it. I thought the post was a useful reminder of all the mischief Iran has supported. Pretty much non-stop, since the revolution.

                        Polymarket at 64% for a US attack by June 30. Would have thought higher.

                          Statement from Trump expected soon. He's been in a war cabinet meeting.

                            I just don't see him doing it. It's really not an existential threat to the US.

                              I can see it going either way but I suspect he ultimately will. I could very much be wrong. It’s a coin flip with him.

                                He'll go with it. It's how "kings" act.

                                  Posturing. everything he's doing is to scare the crap out of the mullahs so they will come to the table in weakness. Textbook Trump.

                                      Mik I agree, but if push comes to shove he's not going to be the president that let the Mullahs get away with nuking (by extension, over the years) Israel.
