There is no way to reverse the decision of the war because Iran enjoys escalation dominance.

I keep seeing this idea. There is no evidence to suggest that the performance of specific missiles has improved. Rather what we are seeing is Iran bringing out its advanced missiles. No need to evoke nefarious Russians. There is nothing to explain.

.@gideonrachman: “Retired US General Barry McCaffrey reckons a ground war over Hormuz would require a force of 600,000 troops and might take a year.” Citing this.
Is that what this tweet is saying. It looks very much like he’s saying Iran has 200k IRGC and 600k regular army.
Barry R McCaffrey@mccaffreyr3
Mr Trump has gotten the US into a quagmire. There is no way to open the Strait of Hormuz without a major intervention with US ground forces. It would be a significant combat operation to take down the 200,000 IRGC… 600,000 Army. Doable. Casualties. A year.

@ZhenDeRen Maybe if we didn’t do Charlie Wilson’s war and Soviet Union didn’t lose in Afghanistan then the Taliban wouldn’t be in power today.
A reminder that while US troops were there they allowed for boys to be raped on US bases out of respect for local allies.

"In order to understand why Iran enjoys escalation dominance, we have to examine what happens if the US makes different moves. Let’s do this systematically." Anusar Farooqui's substack, "Policy Tensor," great for those who like thorough analysis.

@xusroparviz The Indo-Aryans/Indo-Europeans are a linguistic group. But the label is also acceptable for the phylogenetic descendants populations of the Yamnaya, the proto-Indo Europeans. In general, the idea that languages were independent of population history can now be firmly rejected.

@policytensor But being Aryan is not a biological thing but linguistic and cultural?
English
It must cross the neoracialist mind that Iran is Aryan. Like more Aryan than Germany.
English
Just to clarify. Nazism had a testy relationship with the Nordicist consensus in physical anthropology. The Aryan ideology was a way to paper over and evade the German racial problem. The ‘science of race’ had no place for Aryans. The Nazis fudged the issue.

May favorite part is when there was a racial panic in Nazi Germany. The Germans found out they had only a small amount of Nordic blood. Ha. See my ‘Physical Anthropology and Nazi Population Policy.’ policytensor.substack.com/p/physical-ant…

Most of the Jordanian population is Palestinian and totally behind the only country in the region to have confronted Israel. It’s not complicated.
David Lee@DavidLe76335983
Iran’s perfect psyop By thanking Jordanian military and public for providing US asset and personnel location intelligence, Iran is driving US military leadership crazy 😜

The view from Tehran.
“The increased focus on Jordan may serve as part of Iran’s preparation and testing of operational concepts for more intense and precise strikes against Israel in later stages of the conflict.
Qatar and Saudi Arabia—have at times sought to impose limits on how the United States may use their facilities. Kuwait and Bahrain, however, are viewed differently by Iran because of their deeper security ties with Washington.
Should the conflict widen further, pressure on the United Arab Emirates could increase.”

“We’re getting beat up across the board.”
I am certain that we still don’t have the full story of Iran’s counterbase attacks. It certainly seems like they are still hiding a lot of losses.

Israelis have overwhelmingly supported the Gaza genocide, including the ones who oppose Netanyahu. Liberal Zionists fundamentally do not get this; the left’s objection is to the genocide, not to Netanyahu per se, and there is zero faith in Israel’s ability to course correct.
Dan Shapiro@DanielBShapiro
A message to Mayor Mamdani: Netanyahu is fighting for his political life. Many Israelis are sick of him and hope to vote him out. The only possible outcome of a fruitless attempt to arrest him in NYC would be to give him a political boost at home. That would be an own goal.

Iran spends less than $90 per capita on the military, the US spends $3,000.

.@SecRubio: "Iran is a rich country. One of the reason why Iran is in shambles is because every penny that this regime ever gets — be it through sanctions relief or through the oil they're able to get out — they invest it in Hezbollah. They invest it in Hamas... They should be spending billions of dollars building they're country, but instead they use it to sponsor terrorism."

If this was bio, it would still be another 2 years before they published it on a paywalled 2010 era journal website. 17 coauthors too.

hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final ((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)

Spanning subagents is like that idea to colonize space. A branching process with no upper limit.

The propaganda scheme seems to be that Israeli plans for Tehran were to install a familiar face rather than break up Iran into pieces in accordance with the Yinon plan.
csz@cszabla
the insinuation that israel was planning to make ahmadinejad of all people some kind of puppet or even preferred leader of post regime change iran is so hard to process it feels like it could have only been a minor step in a much grander plan
