Zionist illusion (drawing - maybe idiot who draw this doesn't know mountains exists):
blue arrows (labeled "US & GCC Advance") n yellow arrows ("Kurdish Separatist Invasion") are drawn directly across mighty Zagros Mountains.
•this massive mountain range runs for 990 miles along entire border btwn Iraq n Iran, extending down to the Persian Gulf.
•msny peaks reach heights of 10,000 to over 14,000 feet.
•to advance parallel to each other like the blue arrows suggest, thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, n supply trucks wld have to climb sheer cliffs, cross deep ravines, n navigate narrow chokepoints.
2. military logistics, armor (tanks) n infantry require wide, flat corridors or robust highway infrastructure to move effectively.
•b/c of the Zagros terrain, any ground advance fr Iraq into Iran is restricted to a handful of narrow, winding mountain passes.
•defending army can easily fortify these passes, turning them into deadly "kill zones." small, well-placed defensive force can hold off a vastly superior attacking force in this kind of terrain.
3. invasion force requires a constant flow of fuel, ammunition, water, n food.
•maintening supply line through high-altitude mountain ranges, especially during harsh winter weather is incredibly difficult.
•if a single bridge or narrow pass is blown up, an entire column of hundreds of vehicles can become trapped n vulnerable to airstrikes (drones) or artillery.
graphic falls into category of "armchair general" mapping or highly abstract strategic modeling. focuses entirely on geopolitics (who is allied with whom) while completely disregarding physical layout of the land
@0xbruhhh that's probably never gonna happen 😃, we tried to sell it so many times. We convinced some friends to just take it, and they agreed while we were drinking, but everybody forgot about it in the morning.
“As you set out on the way to Ithaca
hope that the road is a long one
filled with adventure, filled with discoveries.”
A good time to read “Ithaca” by C.P. Cavafy. Translated by @DAMendelsohnNYC#TheOdyssey
Rather than look at life as always being at the beginning of some new journey, look at where you are now, and examine paths near you in which you are already 80% there. Should be very rare where you need to start over.

crazy how being a “voracious reader” is now one of the number 1 signs of being a midwit. if u read 100 books in a year im just assuming its all worthless drivel and that you’d have been better off reading 0 books actually

Stumbled upon this wonderful introduction to PTX. As someone who never learned assembly in school, PTX always seemed a bit daunting . So I've recently been trying to understand it as well as SASS at a level where I feel more comfortable reading through PTX code in kernels.
It's been nice to be able to recognize certain instructions when looking at the profiler. If you've never given PTX a try, would recommend starting with this blog post!
@omar_dddg just want to understand the perspective of someone like you. I'm not a muslim, and know close to nothing although I've friends and neighbours who are
@omar_dddg since you are probably the best person to ask this question to, been following you for a long time. doesn't this give a little sense of blindly following something? what's the perspective behind directly given a command to be followed as if for demanding some sort of submission?
It’s crazy that death doesnt ever “malfunction” and we have someone living for 300 years.
Billions and billions of people born and dead, and not one malfunction.
