Iran has no choice. They've been observing how US destroyed and / or co-opted all their neighbours, one by one, over the decades and have been preparing for their turn for a long time. The…

Americans and Europeans are in general, good people. But their political leaders, not so much. And this war is being run by a genocidal regime in Israel and the Trump administration. Moral values are …

The Houthis offer a similar threat in the Red Sea though. And we've seen how successfully they managed to disrupt shipping there.

Come again - what Russian fuel infrastructure is being targeted, with the Iranian war as a cover?

Sure, Iran (its regime) is bad. Iran's neighbour, Israel currently has a genocidal regime (where Netanyahu is trying to become the Jewish Ayatollah by crippling its democracy with the help of h…

Russia no longer buys Iranian drones. Russia tied up with Iran to setup drone manufacturing in Russia instead, so that both can benefit ( https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/08&#…

From the American perspective it's a plus - If Russia is getting richer (when it desperately needs the cash) it has an incentive to not get involved in the Iran war (at least in the short-term). …

This seems like a fluff piece. The tl;dr is that mobile banking (not the "iPhone") is what "killed" bank teller jobs. You can add online banking, credit cards, debit cards, and a…

I don't believe that - in my opinion, the school was deliberately targeted because the students studying there were mostly the children of Iranian military officials. Iran's military (surpri…

If you think 100+ dead children is the most horrific thing your government has done, prepare to be even more shocked - ‘Unimaginable horrors’: more than 50,000 children reportedly killed or injured i…

This maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel WebAssembly in the browser is the wrong direction - this vision to turn the browser into an OS so that we are then forced to rent every software through the…

I read an interesting piece on this war somewhere that claimed that the Iran war is the first war that the US is waging without first politically appealing to its public. Historically, US administrati…

It's the same thing in Israel. Israeli-right nationalism is imbibed with ideas of a Jewish theocratic state, from the religious fundamentalism of the Israeli-right - that is why it religiously di…

> Ambassadors do not determine policy, they maintain friendly relationships. Yes, they however do spout the policy of the government they represent. And they are supposed to be diplomats (good di…

I never knew about "Christian zionism", or how it is so deeply tied with American politics till I watched these 2 interviews - https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-fares-abr…

They are helping Iran militarily and diplomatically. The last attack on Iran ended in 12 days. The Americans or Israelis haven't send any boots as a proper invasion requires. So they are just wai…

There is evidence they negotiated in good-faith because they deliberately involved a third-party as a mediator. Oman, who was involved in the mediation said a nuclear deal was nearly done (where the I…

No, they don't import crude oil, but Russian gas by land pipelines.

Yes, a decade or two down the lane, all of middle-east will regret that they didn't do anything to check the US backed Israeli aggression in their region. The lack of political foresight and poli…

I am not denying that Iran uses that as a leverage on its neighbours to keep them in check. Shortage of food and water is definitely the worst fears of the Arabs everywhere.

Iran's logic is simple and easy to understand - if any foreign territory is used to hurt them, they will hurt them in return too. If a water desalination plant in Bahrain was deliberately targete…

They are "garbage" (a gross exaggeration) because they don't have billions of dollars of research in designing and manufacturing them, and there is no longer standardisation of "re…

What you are describing will remain a last ditch, desperate, "scorched earth" policy option for Iran. Iran will not bomb the de-desalination plants or the oil infrastructures of its neighbou…

Sadly, in many courts, when it comes to the corporate and the government, the judges rule on the axiom, "Show me your lawyer first, and I will rule, rather than show me the law, and I will rule&…

More like "Great Firewall of America" (Made in China, like everything else is ™). NBC News says: "The deal that the president approved is the absolute worst of all possible worlds, beca…

Yet another example of how BigTech "App Stores" were always meant for developer exploitation and government control (censorship).
