A funny consequence of this, for example, is the fact that short-term, every day we get closer to the US mid-term elections is a net loss of negotiating power to Iran, since the cost of the mid-term on Trump becomes less "potential" and more "realized"

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@GhalebHabian @APHClarkson Trust, by definition, has no effect on negotiation; peace deals happen when the terms are equal to the consequences of continuing the war minus the cost of war itself. Disagreement on what that means is why wars keep going.

They mainly cared about their own risk management and feared casualties, but in exchange, this meant objective control was effectively nonexistent, resulting in them just flattening everything to cover up the fact that they were going to give up any ground they've taken anyway.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

Because it wasn't, it looked a lot more like raids, bombing target locations, then moving in to quickly take it before actually leaving at the end of the day and going back to their base.

Israel's casualties do not paint a picture of intense urban fighting. USA suffered over 2,000 soldiers dead in the first 3 years of the Iraq war for reference.

Officially, they paid 29million per month for 3 months. There were talks of renewing it for 3 more months, which might have happened, maybe even theoretically a third round.

However, there is 0 announcements, evidence, or even insider information on anything beyond the first.

سؤال للعارفين:
هل أوقفت كل من السعودية وقطر مساعدات الرواتب التي كانت تقدمها للحكومة السورية في الأشهر السابقة. وإذا كان كذلك، لماذا؟

@meneiamen She attacks the French and the west for their anti Islam stance just as much as she attacks Iran, but you wouldn't know that because the only value that exists nowadays is campist grievance politics.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

She's anti IR and anti Shah, so you get a unified front of all the world's stupidists people having it really out for her!

Why are people being so nasty about Marjane Satrapi exactly

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@meneiamen Given that she's would've been literally dying those last few years, this is an absurd level of scrutiny not demanded of literally anyone else, it's just blood sport of who everyone agreed to burn at the stake this weekend.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@meneiamen From what I can find, the only public stance she had on Gaza seems to be rejecting France's attempt to Honor here claiming they're being hypocrites pretending to care about human rights selectively.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@chitowngirl1982 I have seen dozens of people say that not as a joke.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

This level of psychosis honestly will need to be studied for generations to come. If you're doing your PhD, give it a shot!

@vadalin08 That's not a social democrats that's clearly a DNC staffer

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@DrSalehSeyidli They outright sent troops to help him it, a little more than just sympathy. However the STG doesn't really care about much apart from having good relations with anyone even if they have to pretend to forget old issues.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@sifarchand She's a leftist who's been against the shah the entire time. It'd be weird if they didn't hate her?

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@Kozzist In the first place, Fascists don't end up entraping themselves in endless war because they're too successful!

The entire reason you keep getting wars is because they're trying to cover their own failures!

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@hmadsyria Russia actually tried really hard to remove Assad because he's a liability, they're allied to Syria so they felt entraped saving his ass in the war. They really hoped they can just convince him to resign and then find someone that can calm the rebels down with token reforms.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@hmadsyria The idea that those countries are can just show up and change/"fix" Syria has always been alive there. Those countries not realizing they're washed up nobodies and aren't European empires anymore.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@hmadsyria This wasn't a Putinist plot it was actually a French one that went nowhere! Russia actually Sharaa to take power (not this one, the Baathist) but they dropped their plan because he had no backbone and was too loyal to Assad to cooperate with replacing him.

[Libertaire @SyrianLib]

@hmadsyria From what I can tell, Diaspora circles, Especially very old generation ones who immigrated to UK/France in the 80s.
