  • Iranian actions were previously constrained for fear of ending up in an all out war with the US, and they would moderate their response to provocations accordingly. But now Iran has stopped fearing a hypothetical war because they are already living in one. So the whole logic of being restrained no longer applies because you gain nothing by doing that when the US is already bombing the shit out of you. And since they have the upper hand, why not push all the way and remove the US from the region entirely. The alternative is to let the US rebuild, and face the same scenario as before the war again.

















  • I imagine what got them worried was that they saw that they couldn’t control the narrative anymore. If this was happening 20 years ago, we wouldn’t even know there was a genocide happening in Gaza. The news wouldn’t cover it, we’d be told that Palestinians are eating babies, and heroic Israel is defending our glorious western civilization against these savages who are attacking it completely unprovoked. But that doesn’t work when Israeli atrocities are being live streamed to everyone’s phones. All of a sudden people start asking questions, and that puts traditional media in a bind. If they keep ignoring it they become completely discredited, and if they start. covering it, then it confirms what people are seeing.

    So now they’re going after all the alternative channels to shut them down and make sure that you only get sanitized information that doesn’t challenge the official narrative.
