If this turns out to be true, it might actually be a sign that Iran won the war and the US is settling on their terms.

So, now it’s now been proven in court: this US puppet tried to restart the Korean War with covert acts of aggression against the DPRK.

Really highlights how the west is no longer economically relevant.

Except it’s not just Trump. Everybody in the chain of command is culpable and directly complicit. Every single one.

Yup, attacking water systems is a violation of the Geneva conventions and a clear unlawful order of which members of the military are compelled to not follow as they are bound by the Geneva Conventions and trained on it.

Protocol I (Article 54) and Protocol II (Article 15) of the Geneva Conventions prohibit attacking, destroying, or rendering useless objects indispensable to civilian survival, such as drinking water installations, dams, and dykes.

Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits collective penalties and all measures of intimidation or terrorism. Threatening to cut off electricity and water to an entire population as a means of coercing political compliance clearly constitutes collective punishment.

Destroying Iran’s electric and water supply is a war crime

That’s obviously a war crime, but we shouldn’t be surprised at this point.

Yet, Iranian officials have also been posting this

They didn’t even bother coming up with pretext when they attacked Iran initially, I don’t see why they would now. Iran is also openly saying they shot that piece of shit down.

we can’t rule out a laundry fire

I very much underestimated how irrational the west would be here. At this point I’m not going to be surprised if Europe joins the war directly and we end up in a nuclear holocaust.

the circumstance is that Ukraine is an openly fascist state

calling people tankies is a well established method for low intellect individuals to identify each other online

look the fact that Gulf energy exports collapsed is really horrible for the Russian economy ok, it’s just economics 101

meanwhile in Ukraine

It’s pretty funny how people guzzle propaganda while a report from the European Commission just raised the Russian GDP growth forecast for 2026 to 1.3% and lowered the EU economic growth forecast to 1.1%.

I was gonna say, it was a neat concept, but he didn’t really spend the time to make it convincing or explain the mechanism for how life would evolve to be like that. It’s like he just had this idea that life could be more modular, but didn’t bother fleshing it out past that. I actually enjoyed Shroud a lot more, I feel like he put more work into making it plausible. Can recommend if you missed it.

For non fiction I’m reading The Concept of Mind by Gilbert Ryle, and can highly recommend. Short, thought provocative, and engaging. For fiction, Children of Strife is great, latest instalment in Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time series which I really enjoyed overall.

Given the history of what the US military personnel has done in places like Iraq, a chance to shoot women and children is literally why they sign up. What they’re really worried about is that somebody might actually fight back like they do in Iran.

that’s basically how we got modern day America after USSR dissolved
