John 🔜 PAX East

lmao

RE9 done. Second to RE4 for me, fucking amazing. Time for Insanity difficulty.

Hey let’s have a look at the Department of Educat-

I’m sure their families thought it was a worthy sacrifice

Everyone gooning over Leon’s forearms please be serious, those are noodles

Wonder if he played Metroid Prime like Bin Laden

I’m not sure if he’s alive, but any attempt to kill him was so wildly stupid on our part.

I dunno man. Who could take power? One of the Larijani brothers? Mirbaghedi? Esmail Qanni? I dunno.

I think the most likely outcome is the concept of Velayat e-Faqih (rule by an Islamic jurist) dies with Khamenei and gets replaced by an IRGC Junta. But it’s just as likely I’m wrong. It’s just too volatile to predict.

The most positive outcome would be someone like Hassan Khomeini (Ruhollah Khomeini’s grandson), which sounds counterproductive but he’s actually super liberal for a Shiite cleric. But that’s why he won’t be tapped despite his familial revolutionary credentials.

The Supreme Leader of Iran is chosen by a congregation of senior clerics, sort of like the Pope. But there’s no clear “our guy” candidate. Remember, Khamenei is only the second Supreme Leader. This is still a fairly untested system.

Actually I did when I kitted up and left the wire, but for just walking around the FOB I found a simple hip holster was more comfortable

Here’s what we’re gonna do: when the dead rise we’re going to take over a small town and establish a commonwealth.

Bout to teach Leon how to be a real man

Britt I’m not worried about the IRGC hitting the Nintendo booth

Yes protect your twink. He needs to be defended from me. He cannot do it himself.

*I* would survive

Some GS-9 Iran analyst is screaming right now

You couldn’t fucking pay me enough to attend large events in major cities for awhile

Yeah that tends to happen when you do shit like this

Just realized the Fatal Frame 2 remake is out in a couple weeks. If you never played the original, beware: it’s legitimately one of the most frightening pieces of media of any type you’ll ever experience. LOT of people straight up couldn’t finish it on PS2 because of how nerve wracking it is.

Cuba is next, too

This is why we have so many enemies in the Middle East and Central Asia.

It’s actually fucking me up just how insane this all is. We just killed a world leader with the complete loyalty of the entire armed forces and ruling clergy and told the local populace whose kids and houses we’re bombing “good luck have fun don’t die”. None of which will happen.

Setting aside the illegality of all this for a moment: we clearly did not have a plan to fill the massive power vacuum we just created. As fucked up as Iraq was we had a plan for leadership. Same with Afghanistan. I don’t think anyone is really prepared for how bad this will be.

Bullshit

I will personally beat the shit out of anyone who tries to tell me killing an 88 year old cancer ridden despot who will be replaced by a younger, more lethal despot was worth murdering a bunch of children.

Oh I know

I’m pretty sure they’re dead.
