the opposite is actually true.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available

And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.

It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.

But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

I don’t think people quite understand Indian isolation and Pakistani centrality in this international game. The reason is very simple. Pakistan is an integral part of a cosmopolitan 2bn-strong Islamic world that stretches from Morocco to Indonesia; India is not.

@KiolMil3050 @Cosmos_politic بالطبع لا أقصد حدوث حرب أهلية طويلة الأمد (مثل 1975-1990)، بل معركة أهلية محدودة (مثل 1958، استمرت 102 يوم فقط).

@SultanYavar @RepublicApostle @ScottMGreer FWIW, my assessment just before the war started:

[. @dosris33]

@SultanYavar @Pataramesh They WILL target civilian infrastructure since the goal is to collapse the regime.
It will mirror the 1991 Iraq war.

Few caveats:
-Iran is a much bigger country with a population of ~90 million, Iraq was only 17.7 million in 1991.

-Iraq was devastated from 8-year war with Iran.

@SultanYavar @RepublicApostle @ScottMGreer Plural societies are less resilient than homogeneous societies:

-Lack of internal cohesion > break down & factianalization.
-Power struggle > weak loyalty.
-Less committed members > increased defections.

@SultanYavar @RepublicApostle @ScottMGreer I don't think Iran outperformed expectations, the results were pretty much expected to me.

The USA actually never fought a middle power or regional power since WW2, it only got humiliated by small powers.

A thread on political views of the Arab world, from Arab Barometer IX.

The Arab world is becoming increasingly pro-China, pro-Russia, pro-Iran and increasingly anti-US.

Note: The survey was conducted in 2025 before the ongoing war.

@heaeolik Morocco being in the Western camp is understandable & expected.
Morocco is a monarchy, key Western ally, armed by the West and receives aid.
The complete opposite is Algeria, Arab nationalist, left-leaning republic with history of anti-colonial struggle.
Egypt sets in the middle.

[. @dosris33]

@heaeolik Yes, GCC countries in general would be the most pro-US in the Arab world, they also would be the most anti-Iran

Normalization with Israel is extremely unpopular. Israel is viewed as a threat.

Iran's resurging popularity.

Iran's popularity has collapsed in the Arab world in the last 15 years (before October 7) due to what was widely perceived negative interventions in Syria and Iraq.

Iran's confrontation to Israel & US is boosting it's standing in Arab World
