The UK population was _very_ weary of Churchill and his decision to involve the UK in WW2. You had the UK nazi party that was lobbying the industrialists, and the moscow-aligned communist party that was putting pressure on the laborers. Chu

Iranian polls show that 20-25% Iranians living in Iran support the IRGC, but due to how the questions were formulated, you can't know who would support a regime change. Polls after the 12 day bombing campaign in 2025 showed that 60% di

Trump calling something bad but doing the exact same thing he talked against? No, I can't believe it. What a surprise. This definitely never happened before. At least before December 2025.

All reports are saying the US generals were against this. And a UD senator (Graham I think) just admitted he lobbied trump for the war, comparing him to Roosevelt, and coached Netanyahou on how to lobby trump. Just look at the article: htt

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that if Saudis don't want to feel uneasy, they shouldn't meddle and bomb their neighbours. Also they shouldn't execute a hundred unarmed Africans after bringing them to work on n

The NYT also reported the 30k protestors killed number, when the HR watchdog report 7k confirmed, 11k to be confirmed, so at most 18k, which align quite nicely with the numbers OSINT groups found. I'd rather have a paper from non- par

By the way, the '30k' protestors killed numbers I've heard from US media was fake. OSINT numbers of 15k death is way more likely, and the number from HRANA is 7k confirmed, 11k to be confirmed [0], 50k inprisonned (of which i

No, Iran kept following the accord during almost a year. I think they broke it after a french company got sanctioned in the US (or menaced with sanctions) for dealing with Iran, and french government, as usual, did nothing. Basically acknow

For it to do enough damage to make the inner ear fail temporarily and give you brain damage without burning anything seems a bit unbelievable though. Not even a first degree burn? I think even something as unlikely as remote-activated poiso

I mean, buy oil futures, ask the US president to put a tweet that the US military just escorted a tanker through Hormuz, oil prices go down, you make money. Sell your future, buy oil, now the president remove his tweet, have someone deny it

In the US, a driver license isn't a proof of citizenship. Also, state IDs are not accepted by federal agencies, so it probably wouldn't work as proof of citizenship on federal elections.

No, the school was hit by multiple missiles, not one, around the same time the military clinic was hit. You can tell yourself that multiple air defense missile all failed the same way and fell at the same place, but saying that a single mis

Ok, so since the article isn't clear (once again, OSINT is the only reliable source it seems). - Multiple missiles of unknown origin hit the school where at least 110 schoolgirl died. - Multiple missiles hit IRGC hospital/clinic n

Maybe, but I distinctly remember the numbers 15 up to 30k two weeks ago from the UN Iran watchdog. Then a week ago, a US-based watchdog let the number 35k float, and all of the sudden that's the number used by US department of state. A

Every weeks that number increases. Two weeks ago it was 30k, a week ago it was 35k, now it's 40k+, but OSINT sources keep the number around 15k (including 1.3 k from the Iranian government own forces) and don't move it up. I'
