Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth; And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.

  • I bet there's probably a range of sentiment among kurds, including Kurdish nationalists and separatists. They are spread across several nations in geography that doesn't lend itself to being one unified polity. I agree there's a lot of fell-for-it-again awards to hand out, but we shouldn't make the mistake of painting an ethnicity with a single brush.

  • I bet there is also some element of inter-unit dick waving also, where individual elements talk up the effects of their attacks.

  • Surely this time the Kurds won't get rugpulled by the Americans when it's no longer convenient to support them.

  • They touch on this in the last chapo episode, which is an interview with journalist Seamus Malefakzali. It's a free episode, have a listen, it's pretty colloquial language.

    The US has been heavily involved in the mideast for 60-70 years. The US relationship with Israel has changed during that span more than America's predilection for interference in the mideast.

  • Sure, what I mean is that they havent sunk ships or otherwise physically blocked the transit of the strait. Like you say, those actions are if not irreversible, then a hell of a lot of effort to reverse, especially during war time.

  • The minab school was hit in the first couple hours. I can't imagine the opening salvo went in with anything less with the best mission readiness aircraft and all the finest SEAD/EW gadgets on the planes. That school was clearly on the list. I can easily see that strike having been conducted deliberately as part of the Dahiya doctrine to demonstrate cruelty and crush Iranian morale. At the most charitable, maybe Israel/US was trying to hit some other government facility that was nearby and their bombs aren't as precise as they hoped.

  • Not mining the strait is a very good idea, it gives them much more leverage.

  • The craziest thing about the new war on Iran is they don't even have any clear-cut, manufactured justification for it to give the media. They didn't even bother.

  • One of the incredible things about the euro bootlicking is that it was only 10-15 years ago that the Syrian civil war/ISIS brutality drove millions of migrants from the Levant into "the garden", juicing the cause of the AfD, Lepen and brexit. These same liberal fucks are hoping that Iran implodes, a population more than 4x Syria from before the civil war. They want to do woke Hitler so bad.

  • I think in this case, some of the impact of actual reality was baked in because of how telegraphed this attack was. The last month+ has been a constant build up of forces and threats, and the broad strokes of the Iranian response (fuck things up in the gulf) are pretty obvious.

  • they look like civilians and it looks like it's in an urban area. maybe they're thinking it'd be better to risk themselves moving it instead of just letting it sit there and be a secondary explosion during the next attack? I'm with you that they're doing something very dangerous, but I'm a parent, if that shit was in my community I wouldn't feel good about just leaving it and hoping the authorities come.
