Sad despite how connected and advanced the world is, still have the individual groups. Thinking of technological advancement but keep moving backwards too.

This is not a "one side is better" comment either, reading the US news everyday I'm like wtf. What to do...

I have mixed feelings about what's taking place in Iran. I am for liberation of Iranian people from theocracy but seems like nobody remembers how the Iranian Revolution came to be and why the Shah was unpopular.

My optimism is at best minimized because very few countries that were "liberated" are thriving vs most that remain in chaos or deadlocked into stagnation.

The only upside perhaps is that China loses 70% of its oil sources and that it may be hard to invade Taiwan as a result of these energy shocks and reliance on Russia one that coupled with economic downturn will inevitably lead to similar chaos taking place in Iran.

When people have no bread (or rice), they will fear nothing.

Which countries that are thriving do you think were not “liberated”? The US has done well, and King George III did not depart willingly.

That didn't stop Japan in 1941. Rather the opposite... they went after the country that was threatening their supply.

While I guess that because of the international isolation the country might survive for a while without without international connectivity, they have reportedly shut down the local internet and phone networks as well, which also means payment cards and ATMs don't work.

And I don't think the regime can keep that for long if there is still expected to be something resembling a working country.

GaggiX•4w ago
I agree, this really shows how bad things have gotten for the regime.

Iran relies heavily on digital transactions because of the hyperinflation, there is not enough physical cash anymore. Soon people are going to the street simply because they can't buy food anymore.
