Hard to know what Iran has left in terms of capabilities. Back when Soleimani got killed, we were speculating how Iran would retaliate, and we realized their "break glass in case of war" plan might just be a document that said "call this phone number," which just went to Soleimani's voicemail.

Just do it anyway, and remember that it will be all the sweeter when you can do that to Dear Leader one day.

A lot of you know nothing about Iran and Iranians’ efforts to free themselves from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and it shows. Celebrating the death of the man who terrorized us is the most obvious thing to do. Please stop telling Iranians how we should react.

It is possible to simultaneously believe that his death is a net positive* AND that the US should not have done this.

* It’s too early to know whether this is net good, but absolutely Iranians deserve to celebrate.

such a shame that goon is now a sex thing, what else am i suppose to call my pair of oafish bumbling henchmen

Guess he really wants to hit 67% disproval

an old evil man is dead and it's not in any way suprising people are cheering Khamenei's demise. anyone who thought there was a wellspring of affection for him was a moron.

I like how people are also saying stuff like "paying my taxes isn't the same thing as deciding to bomb an elementary school for Trump".

Congratulations. You have the exact same logic as the pharmacy technician soldier who is currently working in Texas.

The question might come down to how many true believers are actually left. And how many of those overseeing arms caches, target packages, just want to continue living their lives in Brooklyn, LA, Chicago etc

Maybe. That’s the cheery scenario, and shouldn’t be discounted. But there are others. The same person told me that, historically, there were known IJO cells w/i US as well as ones the IC knew it hadn’t nailed down.

I spoke w/ former senior CIA official w/ extensive Iran/Hezbollah experience about this. He argued that, once sleeper QF or Hez (IJO) operatives in US saw the writing on the wall, they’d opt to lay low instead of committing terror attacks. Likened it to Soviet deep-cover spies at end of Cold War.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

OTOH corporate LGBT pride is apparently a thing again?

Basically, I think the three primary axes of Late Republican and Imperial politics are Core/Rim, Centralist/Devolutionist, and Imperialist/Republican, and they don't actually correlate as closely as you'd think.

One of the ideas I tried to explore is my breakdown of the government of the Galactic Empire is that there was a whole preexisting "reform" movement in the Old Republic pushing centralization and efficiency that predated Palpatine and got co-opted by him.

Khamenei’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

not to beat a dead horse but a reason why Iraq happened the way it did was the Bush Admin was able to coopt significant chunks of the USG to help inform and enable their scheme

The Trump Admin fired all those people because intelligence and coordination is woke and gay

I mean, we do have an interagency. His name is Marco Rubio.

So...yeah.

if mar-a-lago ate shaheds and the entire cabinet died alongside a bunch of civilians i would PROBABLY have complex feelings about the entire situation but i would not be well-inclined towards iran

Using "Persia" here is crazy work

US Counterintelligence doesn't exist right now.

D/FBI's girlfriend has a PSD, though.

MaL - the site of an egregious CI crime - is swarmed with hostile SI, imagery, and HI of every kind and our LE just lets it happen.

Witikoff / Kushner / Gabbard / Lutnick?

Principals don't care in any way.

This is a symptom of the U.S. military’s erroneous conception of strategy as scale. If it’s happening at a large scale, it must be strategic.

It’s difficult. It takes a lot of folks and resources. It requires high level commanders.

But it’s not strategic.

it’s probably fine that this meme is one of the top posts on every military Reddit sub right now

You can even make a case for "Iranian state collapse and civil war is better than a nuclear Iran murdering tens of thousands in the streets at home and backing Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine" but you actually have to fucking make the case and plan for that outcome.

And they ain't doing either.

Well, as military strategists Clausewitz and Jomini would both say, “damn, whatever’s in those Epstein files must be REALLY bad”
