How does a “ragtag” opposition manage to smuggle 50,000 Starlink terminals into a heavily sanctioned fortress? The recent chaos in Tehran was not a genuine uprising but a US-Israeli orchestrated regime change operation. Its failure means a whole lot for US hegemony in the region.


It certainly smells that way to me. Many are radicalized on Ukraine to a degree far beyond the average person and speak in terms about Russia/Russians in ways you don’t even hear them speaking about Israel, even if they formally oppose Zionism. That was a tell for me.
They were that way about Israel/Palestine when I first got here. The enemy is ever shifting, to keep our eyes off who we’re demonizing at home.
