  • Please Iran, blow their desalination plants to kingdom come. I've seen certain Israeli bots making fun of Iran for its previous water shortage issues. We'll see who has water shortage issues once every one of Israel's desalination plants is blown up.

  • Yeah, I hate all the American leftists saying Venezuela 'has betrayed the revolution' or whatever, including ze_squirrel on twitter. This is a strategic retreat. If they really were betraying the revolution, Delcy would immediately sell off everything in the country like Maria Corino Machado constantly said. Instead she is cooperating with the US on its oil shipment demands but is preserving the rest of Venezuala's system. If Delcy was as inflammatory as Maduro, she would get regime changed in operation Venezuela Boogaloo II.

  • Not Jerusalem, that city is too religiously important. Any of the other Israeli cities are fair game though.

  • Let's fucking go!

  • Agree. I'm just looking at the problem from the perspective of the state.

  • I agree that the best case scenario would be for all the countries to collaborate with ethnic minorities within them and celebrate them in the way that China celebrates its 55 minorities.

    However, you need money and prosperity to be able to do that (e.g. to pay for affirmative action policies to rectify historical discrimination). Right now, the U.S. constantly uses these minorities as liabilities for terrorism, preventing the countries they're in from getting to the point of development that they could treat them better.

    China had to spend billions on education, development, and 'handouts' to stop US-funded Uyghur terrorism and instead make them feel invested in China's development.

    The issue is like chicken and egg until the US stops sponsoring terrorism from minorities across the Middle East.

  • Yes, the US did exactly that to the Kurds, so we only have ISIS-like Kurd leaders left.

  • Gotcha. In a way that's good, as it makes united Kurdistan basically impossible until the groups figure out their differences and unite.

  • Most Americans have no idea what the fuck Iran is, other than thinking that it is another random Muslim country. None of them know that Iran is the modern-day manifestation of historical Persia, a civilization that competed with the ancient Romans and won.

    Iran has a real claim to the 'civilization-state' moniker like China.

  • In Syria, Bashar al-Assad was deliberately letting the Kurds be, even when they were occupying Syria's oil fields. As soon as US-backed Al-Jolani came in, he starts cutting all the Kurds' heads off.

    I don't know at what point the Kurds believe they will have their own state. Maybe once all the countries that potential Kurdistan spans across are ruled by different versions of al-Jolani, and Kurds are getting their heads chopped off everywhere, then they can form the Kurdistan they want in heaven.

    At this point I kind of understand why Erdogan finds Kurds so annoying.

  • Nice. May this info help build the next generation of Iranian drones.

  • Yep! According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (take with grain of salt, they're a US-Israeli tool), Iran has around 440kg of 60% pure uranium that they've kept moving around even after the previous US strikes on Iran. That can be enriched to 90% weapons-grade almost immediately, and then pretty quickly shoved into a couple nukes.

  • Getting the uranium enriched high enough is the hardest part, the rest of the bomb is kind of trivial. If you look at the diagram of the Little Boy, it is literally just a howitzer tube that fires a chunk of uranium (enriched, obviously) at another chunk of uranium such that, when the two chunks are together, they reach criticality (helped by a tiny bit of polonium-beryllium initiator).

    It was hard at first because people were doing it for the first time, but now that the stuff is public knowledge (and Russia + China can help), Iran should be able to move fast.

  • He was also the second president of Iran after its founding and led the country through the Iran-Iraq War when Iraq was being egged on by the U.S. to destroy Iran.

    So he's actually a combo of the Pope and Lincoln (in the sense of saving the country) or something.

  • It used to be really bad and filled with anti-China Westoids. Interestingly, most of them dissapeared in the last few years coinciding with the USAID and NED semi-defunding.

  • Perfect, I'll dabble with it. Thanks!

  • This looks really interesting as my local backup option to my NAS! Do you have experience using it that way? I don't think I'll remember to plug in my spare SSD every week, so I will need to set my NAS for it to back up to.

  • DM me your email or some other way I can send them over.

  • Yo I do exactly the same thing! Obsidian has let me crystallize my thoughts in my notes, instead of just absorbing whatever the current liberal trend is.
