Still blows my mind how NKR with all it's geologic limitations, or perhaps despite it, played their weak hand well while Iran squandered a much stronger hand. T

Still blows my mind how NKR with all it's geologic limitations, or perhaps despite it, played their weak hand well while Iran squandered a much stronger hand. Too much oil and cultural/past hegemon hubris, the Ayatollah are not serious people. Nor the Iranian people who protest because lol the shah's son told them to (this article). They deserve each other. Frankly Iran is on Israel grass mowing schedule now - they didn't win the 12 day war, but demonstrated even incompetent Iran has latent ability to. IMO Iranian dissidents are dangerously naive to geopolitical reality, it's in no ones regional interest to do anything other than to keep Iran and by extension, Iranians down. At this point, if Iran serous about favourable regional lightcone, their only option is to ditch half measured authoritarian amateur hour and double down. Frankly they should have had their own firewall and purged libtard compradors 10+ years ago.
