Previous conflicts between the involved parties were intense but also defined by constrain on both sides.
Israel did not mass bomb civilians, and Iranian agents did not commit sabotage against infrastructure on US soil.
I hope this pattern persists.
A hand full of determined Ukrainians managed to blow up North Stream, some people plunged part of Berlin into darkness for 2 weeks.
Power and data cables as well as pipelines are as vulnerable in the US, as they are here. Maybe even more so.
A regime that truly feared for its existence, might decide to escalate, since there is nothing to loose.
- ifwinterco 8mo agoI think the latter, the US is explicitly attempting a regime change operation so Iran has no reason for restraint. The US is aware of this, that's why they evacuated all their bases etc within range
- chrisjj 8mo ago> explicitly attempting a regime change operation I missed that press release. Where is it?

- chrisjj 8mo ago...if we didn't kill you. Thanks.
- vcryan 8mo agoUS is to out of touch with reality, they want to put a Zionist who is generally hated by Iranians in power. Will never happen.
- ifwinterco 8mo agoExactly, I have a hard time seeing how that will ever play out how they want. The whole reason the 1979 revolution happened in the first place was because the Shah was a blatant US/Israeli puppet
- reliabilityguy 8mo agoYou've missed the part where islamist butchered the leaders of the actual 1979 revolution. In reality it was: unpopular shah -> 1979 revolution -> islamists take control, prison and kill the leftists of 1979 revolution.
- ifwinterco 8mo agoThat is true but that’s often how these things go, you pull together a coalition of factions to overthrow the existing elites and then afterwards it devolves into infighting
- violentapricot 8mo agoIt worked with Machado, so why wouldn't it work with... oh wait. We're governed by a shadowy criminal network of idiots.
- reliabilityguy 8mo ago> who is generally hated by Iranians in power. So that’s why said Iranians chant Javid Shah?
- swat535 8mo agoIranian here, the Shah has surprisingly many supporters, both inside and abroad. Iran is a big complex country and is more diverse than people think.
- BoredPositron 8mo agoNothing went dark for weeks as a German you should know that.
- DecoySalamander 8mo agoMaybe not weeks, but there was extensive damage and parts of Berlin went dark https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/07/europe/berlin-power-outage-intl https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/07/europe/berlin-power-outag...
- BoredPositron 8mo agoThat has 0 correlation with Northstream.
- tw04 8mo agoOp didn’t say they were connected. They were referring to two distinct but impactful events.
- vel0city 8mo agoThe phrasing implies a connection. I was in a major car accident, I cannot walk. Oh the car accident was years ago, I was fine. I cannot walk because I'm seatbelted into a car driving down the road at the moment. Why would you have ever thought there was a connection?
- niemandhier 8mo agoTwo examples of vulnerable infrastructure. But afaik both are related to the same conflict. The current hypothesis is that a left wing group triggered the outage in “protest” against Germanys involvement in the war.
- Tadpole9181 8mo ago> Israel did not mass bomb civilians Within an hour Israel blew up an elementary school, killing 80 civilians.
- red75prime 8mo agoA school located at 27.109828°N, 57.084744°E was hit and partially collapsed. That is the extent of the hard evidence.
- Tadpole9181 8mo agoOh my God, is this 2001 again? > All we know is that they did launch a missile that blew up a school. That's it. Just a little woopsies! Ignore what schools are for and who are in them and what communities exist around them. Ignore that a school is clearly not a fucking military target. Ignore the workers digging through rubble and the reported deaths. No, despite the past 25 years, the US and Israel's governments are not only trustworthy, but the only source of truth. There are no deaths in Ba Sing Se. There were nuclear missiles hidden in that school! And, of course, I'm sure we'll hear next that any deaths were terrorists. And if any photos of lifeless kids come up, clearly they're some kind of pinatas or AI! And if their names and life stories come out and there are funerals - duh, state actors! My country has completely lost its fucking mind. Which I guess makes sense enough after spending my entire adult life watching people basically shrug over little kids being gunned down at school. Which, dang, that reminds me how Sandy Hook was also a conspiracy and I've had to suffer listening to the same exact "state actor" thing with that.

- red75prime 8mo agoFact check before writing walls of text. Information war is a real thing. Everything you wrote has no import on whether this particular piece of information is true.
- nullocator 8mo agoIsrael has been mass bombing civilians right next door for years now.
