In these situations, it’s a choice between reacting emotionally or reacting logically. Being emotional is the easier option.

The problem is that when you’re emotional, propaganda and fear-based scenarios hit you fast and hard, especially the kind that’s deliberately designed to break you early with despair.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. Nothing is over yet. Save your energy and don’t let yourself give up to propaganda.

The Islamic regime just hanged Javad Zamani and Abolfazl Saedi because they participated in the January protests.

Iranians are being executed by this barbaric regime while the world looks away and keeps making deals with them.

Do not ignore our blood.

تایملاین دست چپول و توله‌آخوند و سایبریاست، و این غم‌انگیزه. جمع کنید خودتونو. یکم منطقی به وضعیت نگاه کنید و بفهمید آخوند هیچی نبرده.

شکاف‌های داخلی سیستم داره هر لحظه بیشتر میشه. تمرکز قدرت از بین رفته و درگیری‌های داخلیشون بر سر قدرت در حال شدت گرفتنه. طرفدارای خودشون رو دارن به شدت و سرعت زیادی از دست میدن.

اقتصاد کشور یه جسدیه که از زندگی فقط کمی گرما درش باقی مونده که به سرعت در حال از بین رفتنه.

بعد به پترن‌های این جنگ از هفت اکتبر تا امروز نگاه کنید و بفهمید که چنین تفاهمنامه‌ای همون سرنوشتی رو داره که همه‌ی تفاهم‌های حزب‌الله با اسرائیل داشت.

حوصله بحث کردن ندارم، ولی اینکه اینجوری پنیک می‌کنید، اینجور مواقع از چشم منی که ۱۸-۱۹ دی رو با چشمام دیدم، فقط از یه چیز میاد:

شماها هنوز نفهمیدید اون گلوله‌هایی که تن عزیزای ما رو پاره‌پاره کرد، حکم نابودی خود جمهوری اسلامی رو هم با خون همون صد هزار نفر مهر کرد.

شما نمی‌دونید که آنچه ما اون شب‌ها دیدیم باعث شد این کلمات تو روح تک‌تکمون حک بشه:

قسم به خون یاران، ایستاده‌ایم تا پایان.

برعکس اکثریت شما، من باور ندارم که چیزها اون شکلی هستن که در سطح به نظر میان، و باور ندارم که در نهایت معامله‌ای واقعی که سودی برای رژیم داشته باشه وجود پیدا خواهد کرد. ولی حتی اگر این باور رو هم داشتم، امروز باز هم به نابودی اینها نه حتی امیدوار، بلکه باورمند بودم.

همون‌طور که شاهزاده گفتن:

با کمک یا بی‌کمک، از این راه یا از راه دیگه، ما کشورمون رو پس خواهیم گرفت.

این رژیم یک گوی شیشه‌ای ترک‌خوردست. چیزی نمونده پودر بشه و نابودیش قطعیه.

هرچی می‌تونید در راه نابودیش انجام بدید و نگذارید مه جنگ گولتون بزنه.

این بازی تازه شروع شده و به‌زودی با نابودی رژیم تموم خواهد شد. این رو از طرف خودم و تک‌تک آدمایی که تو ایران می‌شناسم میگم.

نبرد آخر نزدیکه و ما پیروز خواهیم بود. این رو مطمئنم.

You can stop looking over your shoulders for dinosaurs and injuns. But keep a close eye out for Jackalope. Those are real.

The fences along highways are not the zoo boundaries. They are right of way delineators and are to keep the wildlife off the road.

They don't work. Look out!

Speaking of wildlife, if you feel the need to approach them - be sure your life insurance is paid up.

The speed limits are not suggestions and ARE enforced. Just know that goin in.

This is, bar none, the worst thing I have ever read. I have known about the Rape Gangs longer than a lot of americans, but even I did not grasp the scope or scale of what went on. Forget about Epstein, this was a crime against humanity on the scale of the Holocaust, of the Khmer Rouge, or of the lsraeIi atrocities in Gaza.

This was the systematic, intentional, targeted kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of White, Christian girls in England, specifically chosen due to their race and religion.

11 year olds had their vaginal walls used as bottle openers, and were then forced to consume the alcohol. Girls were raped with car keys and and baseball bats. 12 year olds with whiskey bottles inserted into their anus and smashed. Pre-teens raped by dogs.

The NHS is complicit. The British police is complicit. Damn near every single british politician over the past thirty years is complicit. The media is complicit. Anyone who ran cover for this must be put to death following a tribunal.

Nothing short of the public executions of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people, followed by the deportation of millions more is sufficient. Nothing will provide justice; that is the scale of the action required to merely get this to stop.

WESTERN SLOPE OF COLORADO

Come meet Scott Bottoms, no one is working harder to cover the state and meet all of you!

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

A horse is built to run. A donkey is built to stand and think about it. You have met Hector. This is the other half of his field.

Here is the thing nobody warns you about a parade horse. Hector stood through the King's Troop and the massed bands and a nation's worst day without shifting a hoof, and he will still, in a quiet Welsh field, levitate sideways at a pheasant coming out of a hedge. A carrier bag on the wind is, to a horse, a clear and present danger. The guns were a job, and the job had rules. The hedge has a pheasant in it and no rules at all, and so the flight animal underneath the seventeen years of training remains, on the matter of pheasants, entirely undefeated.

Nelson does not look up.

Nelson has never looked up. A donkey does not flee, it assesses, and it assessed the pheasant long ago and found it beneath comment. People call that stubbornness. It is an animal declining to spend adrenaline it sees no reason to spend.

And here is the domestic arrangement, which anyone who has kept the two together will know on sight. Nelson is a third of Hector's size and entirely in charge. He eats first. He picks the dry spot. He decides when they move. The black charger who carried the weight of the state stands by, with enormous patience, while a small grey donkey finishes the good hay.

The one thing that reliably undoes Hector is Nelson leaving the field. Five minutes, a foot trim, a vet down the lane, and the great composed horse comes apart at the gate, calling and calling, because a horse is herd to its bones and has decided that its herd is one unbothered donkey.

Nelson, for his part, despises rain. A desert animal washed up in Denbighshire, he stands in the shelter looking martyred while Hector grazes out in the wet, waterproof and serene.

Two opposite natures, each propping up the other exactly where it is weak. The horse who fears small things and the donkey who fears nothing at all. It works. It was always going to.

[Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران @iranidaturan]

What a lot of Israelis still don’t fully get, and keep paying a heavy price for, is this “rage bait” game that the Axis of Resistance plays so well.

October 7 wasn’t just a random terrorist attack. It was calculated rage bait. Hamas knew exactly what it was doing, launch something so brutal that Israel would have no choice but to hit back hard and long. Why? To blow up the Saudi-Israeli normalization deal that was almost done. They wanted to drag the whole region back into conflict and put the Palestinian issue front and center again.

Hamas openly wanted Gaza war. Two full years of heavy bombing and destruction in Gaza still couldn’t force them to return the remaining hostages.

Then President Trump got reelected. First Trump threatened 'all hell' if Hamas didn't free all its hostages. Hamas didn’t cooperate. Then in September, Trump basically gave Israel the green light to strike Hamas leaders in Doha. Literally right after that, Hamas started to behave and handed over all the remaining hostages.

Now the same pattern is repeating with Islamic regime in Iran, the real brain behind October 7.

The Islamic regime actually wants Israeli strikes, just like Hamas. Every round of bombing helps them. It strengthens their narrative, rallies people against Israel, and lets them survive as a regime because the real fight stays outside their borders.

For them and their proxies, “resistance” itself is the victory. They don’t really care how much their own people suffer. Rubble and hardship become useful propaganda.

What they actually fear is being forced to accept defeat, normalization, and an end to the conflict on terms that weaken them.

That’s why Trump’s pressure approach works better than endless bombing: it pushes them toward surrender instead of giving them the war they want.

This is exactly why the Axis keeps trying to pull Israel back into the trap.

And here’s what’s frustrating: parts of Israeli society fall for it again and again. After every round, memory gets reset, and instead of seeing the deliberate provocation, a big chunk of people start blaming @netanyahu , @POTUS , or US.

And unfortunately, right now Netanyahu’s political rivals are pouring fuel on this very fire. They’re feeding the hysteria, hoping to ride the wave of anger all the way to victory in the next elections and take power from him.

It’s the same destructive cycle we’ve seen for years. The rage bait keeps working because Israel keeps playing the game on the enemy’s terms، while its own politicians exploit the chaos for short-term political gain.

[DukeNukem96 @DukeNukem1996]

Even the supposed “Trump and Bibi falling out” stuff is theater.

If Trump looks like he’s constantly committing to peace, then the Islamic regime can’t play the victim card as @iranidaturan says.

It also makes the reformers and hardliners more likely to turn on each other. Not because the reformers are actually better people (they’re not), but they’re more likely to prioritize preserving their ill gotten material wealth over apocalyptic jihad.

All while the economic death spiral continues as, despite all the rumors, no money has actually changed hands.

Since it’s logistically difficult to arm the Iranian people, the alternative is to disarm the IRGC. Both through making them unable to afford bullets and also to waste them turning the guns on each other.

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

Yeah, after America killed their Supreme Leader and top generals, humiliated their military, seized control of their airspace in just 48 hours, sank their entire navy, and drained their financial channels to the point of collapse, the regime was forced to kiss America’s ass to avoid being overthrown.
They didn’t even dare bury Ali Khamenei for fear of more air strikes.

While I don’t see any form of deal as truly beneficial to the U.S. as a superpower, the Islamic Republic was absolutely crushed and humiliated.
That’s their “victory.”

[Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران @iranidaturan]

Yesterday Trump did an interview with the New York Times where he said some very important things that I don’t see covered anywhere.

Instead, everyone is busy covering the regime’s propaganda, which is really shameful.

In the 28-minute phone conversation that President Trump initiated from the White House residence, he made several statements:

1. Trump emphasized that if the regime kills protesters, it will prevent them from getting full sanctions relief and access to $25 billion in frozen funds. He insisted that Iran would receive no relief from sanctions or release of its frozen financial assets until it delivered on its commitments.

2. Trump openly acknowledged what he had said on the opening day of the war, when he urged the Iranian people to rise up and take over their government once the American and Israeli bombing was complete.
He admitted he had said that, but went on to note that the Iranian people did not have access to arms, and would be slaughtered if they tried.

3. Trump made it clear he is ready to restart military attacks. He insisted that if Iran failed to reach a final nuclear accord with the United States, he would restart military attacks on Tehran.

His finger remains on the trigger.

4. Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping and called him “a total gentleman.” He said: “He didn’t send a tanker, along with 20 destroyers on each side of it, to try and break up the blockade,” noting that Xi helped (or at least did not interfere) in the settlement.

This must answer your question that why he ended the blockade, probably cause China would not tolerate it any longer.

5. The most important and interesting point: Trump said that if Iran does not reach a final deal, he would make the United States “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for 20 percent of the region’s revenues.

He described this as turning American protection of the region, and the U.S. nuclear umbrella, into a paid police force, there in return for profit. This is a very Trumpian departure from post-World War II American tradition.

This last point is especially significant. Trump is directly telling the Arabs and others who want the regime to stay in power and who are not seriously helping with regime change: “Okay, I’ll handle security for the region, but I’m not doing it for free.”

He knows exactly what game some of these countries are playing, continuing to fund or tolerate the regime and regional proxies to keep Iran destabilized and weak.

Trump has read their hand, and he is putting a clear price tag on America’s role as the region’s guardian.

The full interview contains even more details that deserve attention rather than the regime’s narrative being pushed everywhere.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

I'm still chewing on this "deal" and trying to figure out what the strategy is supposed to be, obviously given a shortage of information. I'm starting to think it's similar to Reagan's strategy that choked the Soviet Union, which Aleksandr Dugin describes as an Atlanticist "anaconda."

The rough idea of the "anaconda" strategy is that of a constrictor snake. It doesn't bite except to control small parts at necessity. It squeezes. And it doesn't just crush. It tightens, puts pressure, and when the target squirms, it tightens again. This continues until the target is suffocated.

Dugin accuses the Atlanticist West (first Britain, then the US/NATO) of having done this not only to the USSR but to Russia and continuing it. That's worth discussing at another time. The way he says it happened is by controlling all the regions around the target (then: USSR) and by increasing various demands and sanctions to crush the target. There's no striking (like biting) except in the narrow sense to punish specific transgression. It's just fatally expensive for the target to move.

So this plan might actually be meant to work this way against the Iranian Regime, with a few updated caveats because Trump's geopolitical strategy and Reagan's aren't the same, for good reasons. Trump's is not only likely better overall but learned from the mistakes and shortcomings of Reagan's.

The idea is that by having hit them militarily 13,000+ times and degraded their capabilities, military, and infrastructure to a very bad level, while apparently offering them a "golden bridge" out (Sun Tzu), including some rocketry capabilities, Iran's Regime is desperate, particularly economically.

The "deal" with the economic carrot ($300B in Gulf Coast state investment possibilities, totally contingent on good behavior, plus loosened sanctions and unfrozen assets, all contingent) is meant to get Iran to squirm while releasing the global pressure caused by Hormuz. Iran can't afford not to take it and likely thinks it can outfox the West by taking the money in bad faith. That's "squirming," at which point the snake will either tighten or strike (in narrow fashion) or both.

The IRGC is white-knuckling power, hanging on for dear life in a shattered system that needs relief. The relief is coming from a place that can put massive contingencies on access to the relief, at least in theory. That's like being wrapped in the snake's coils.

Iran's Regime is boxed into needing the relief, but the relief comes at the cost of becoming controlled not just by the U.S. and Israel but by the GCC coalition from which the money is supposed to come. Every time they betray the deal, which is apparently all based on investment money, not state transfers, the U.S. and/or Israel might hit them again to get them back in line while the GCC tightens the financial noose (with U.S. urging).

The "anaconda" holds them tightly, and if they wiggle to breathe (by violating terms), it tightens. If they get too rough, they get bit (another good, hard military strike or ten). They're stuck, slowly suffocating.

The Regime, over time, cannot sustain this pressure and should crack eventually if this is the strategy and it works. It might not even take long because of how shattered they are now. Eventually, a coup from inside can displace the faltering regime, and that's likely the ambition. The question is who it will be, of course. Pahlavi's people should be preparing because other factions, most likely most notably the Leftist MEK, will be positioned to seize the moment if better people aren't.

The update from Reagan's strategy is that Reagan was fighting the USSR in a bipolar world: US and USSR were the two superpowers. Thus, Reagan was a unipolarist. He wanted one pole of power in the world: the United States of America.

(Dugin sees this as a "neo-mondialist" or "neo-Atlanticist" strategy we would call "globalism" today in the common parlance, and he's firmly opposed to it but not in the same way or for the same ends as Trump, MAGA, and real America First.)

What we've learned since then is that a unipolar superpower is not geared correctly to handle a regionalist disruptor like Iran (or Russia, frankly). Its military capabilities are geared otherwise, for one thing, and it can stretch the superpower too thin, for another. That's how you end up with "neo-mondialist" failures in Iraq, which Trump isn't eager to repeat.

Instead, what you need are regional consortiums that act as decentralized regional powers that are broadly in alignment with a U.S.-led world order (thus rejecting Dugin's wretched multipolarism and Russian/Eurasian neo-imperialism). The GCC plus Israel are meant to accomplish this in the Middle Eastern "Great Space" (Grossraum). It may be that this "deal" is geared toward attempting to build such a thing to constrain and eventually choke out Iran regionally, backed by U.S. (and Israeli) might, if needed.

Meanwhile, there's a special situation going on in this case, which is that the Iranian Regime is full of proper lunatic factions. It's literally kufr (apostasy) in the lunatic Islamist view to make a deal with a jahili (Ignorant) society like the "Great Satan" of the United States, which can carry a death sentence. Thus, the internal fragmentation and fighting inside the Regime will be intense, and we allegedly already see this happening.

Parts of the Regime, hoping to white-knuckle power (in the anaconda's coils), has to make the deal. Other more lunatic parts refuse it as rank treason and want to kill the people who make the deals or agree to them. This is not a stable situation for someone trapped in the coils of a snake that's slowly choking them out.

So, maybe this is the real deep purpose of the plan. I don't know for sure. That plus possibly getting Americans inside in order to do nuclear inspections and such (very tight coiling of snake plus potential for agitation on a whole different level), clearing the nuclear material, keeping the passage of Hormuz open for all the reasons (until workarounds are made), etc.

I cannot imagine, actually, that anyone serious really believes that this "deal" will hold, though. Of course, when it doesn't, the "anaconda" gets to bite (military strikes, heavy sanctions, etc.) to weaken them further and enable tighter coiling in the next round.

In the meantime, perhaps we watch the Regime suffocate. It would be smart to get the right people geared up and positioned to fill the vacuum, if that's right.
