Do you ever think what would happen to them in the West if they weren't vocal opponents of the Iranian state?

No, I would absolutely not want 100s of guys blindly crawling over the dirt, I would want someone to pick up my satellite phone calls and send a couple helicopters.

I never claimed there was no CSAR operation, and you still can't explain why you need 100+ spec ops guys in two big landing planes for this particular operation. The US military had information assymmetry and aerial dominance. They est

What do you make of Netanyahu claiming that Iran was weeks from a nuclear bomb, 20-30 years ago? What do you make of US/Israel assassinating the supreme leader that had declared a fatwa against nuclear weapons? > This war was unav

> This is fake Iranian propaganda. It makes no logical sense. The force sent to extract the F15 officer (approx 2 C130s of people) is far to small to retrieve tons of nuclear material stored at Isfahan. And how does it make any logical

This is black propaganda, not a counterargument. At most there were a couple thousand casualties from violent riots that involved armed gangs (or sleeper cells if you want to go that route). There were not "60,000" peaceful protes

It is certain that armed gangs were activated and many people (up to a couple thousand) were killed in chaotic riots. There's video evidence of armed gangs in the streets. The idea that tens of thousands of peaceful protestors were kil

Unregulated/decentralized SSH key usage (i.e. allowing ssh-copy-id) is a dream for hackers to move laterally through a network. That's why many orgs disable it, and otherwise haven't invested resources in getting a proper cen

The "50,000 murdered protesters" is blatant atrocity propaganda to launder the actual mass murder of civilians and failed illegal regime change war by the United States and Israel. Nothing more. It is a lie told with the blackest

Budget planning, presumably. How much you are going to spend and on what, and what you need to charge for your products to break even or meet a profit goal.

Are you seriously suggesting that Ellison-owned CBS News and US-based "human rights" orgs are not geopolitically aligned with the US government? They are 100% in cahoots.
