China is advising its citizens to leave Iran immediately.

Am more drawn to analyses of events and crises such as this and Ukraine.
A an old friend of mine who lives in Ottawa sent me the following. Pretty compelling reading about Israel’s capabilities and Iran’s lack thereof. A few parallels with what Ukraine has been achieving lately against Russia. Both wars will be studied at military academies for some time to come.

Ok maybe I can think of a worse job. At least at Fordo there’s a chance it gets attacked when you’re off duty.

The best case I’ve heard against regime change. The title is more polemic than the piece.

We've..scratch that, make it they.. have learned nothing. The Iranian people don't want us to come in and direct regime change. The people have to do that.

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

Yet. But they are amassing the materials to do so.

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. -

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.

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.
