🇺🇸‼️🚨 US soldiers deployed in the Middle East wrote funny slogans on a wing
“Peace deal 64 incoming”
“I love Israel, I am a good goyim”
Sounds like soldiers have a modicum of doubt in the whole Iran war thing …

UPDATE ON GERALD AND THE CROW SITUATION:
Things have escalated.
I repeat.
THINGS HAVE FUCKING ESCALATED.
For those of you just joining us, yesterday I accidentally entered into diplomatic relations with a gang of crows after Gerald stole my good spoon.
Well.
This morning I walked outside and Gerald was waiting for me.
Alone.
Standing directly in the middle of my driveway.
No screaming.
No hopping around.
Just staring at me like a tiny feathered loan shark who had come to collect.
I said, “Morning, Gerald.”
He tilted his head.
I gave him a walnut.
He did not eat it.
Instead, this motherfucker picked it up, walked three steps to the left, PUT IT DOWN, and stared at me again.
Message received.
The offering was insufficient.
So I went back inside and got more walnuts.
When I returned…
THERE WERE NINE CROWS.
Nine.
Yesterday there were seven.
Gerald is fucking recruiting.
And they were arranged in a SEMICIRCLE.
This isn’t a bird friendship anymore.
I’m funding organized crime.
I distributed the walnuts because apparently I pay protection money now.
Everything seemed fine until one of the smaller crows tried taking two.
Gerald immediately screamed at him.
The little one dropped the second walnut.
I have accidentally created an economy.
Gerald controls distribution.
There’s a hierarchy.
There are consequences.
I’m pretty sure I witnessed a disciplinary hearing before breakfast.
Then Gerald flew away.
I thought we were done.
WE WERE NOT DONE.
Twenty minutes later I looked outside and there was something sitting where Gerald had been standing.
A bottle cap.
A shiny rock.
And…
MY FUCKING SPOON.
HE RETURNED THE SPOON.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I believe we have successfully negotiated a trade agreement.
Unfortunately, there is now a crow sitting on my mailbox.
So I still cannot get my fucking mail.
I tried approaching.
He puffed up.
I backed away.
That mailbox belongs to the organization now.
At this point I’m just a tenant.
Anyway, Gerald has officially been promoted to General Gerald, Commander of the Driveway, First of His Name, Keeper of the Good Spoon, Lord of the Power Line, Collector of Walnuts, and Regional Manager of Whatever The Fuck Is Happening Here.
I’ll keep everyone updated.
But if I suddenly stop posting…
Gerald found out I told you.

IRGC War Lecture: [EXCLUSIVE//IMPORTANT] 📼
I am sharing a rare and difficult to find video that I had translated and subtitled which is extremely relevant to the regional war in the West Asian theatre.
In the video, the martyred Major General Hossein Salami (RIP June 2025), commander of the IRGC, in a lecture recorded sometime around 1997, explains the asymmetric plan to defeat the United States to his students in the Advanced War Course of the IRGC command-and-staff college.
The key to destroying the United States is to drag it into a coastal and land warfare. The goal is to completely deplete it and destroy it economically and politically, and contain the war in a theatre where all of America's strengths become weaknesses.
The US navy is a old husking dinosaur of the cold war, as Yemen has proven. Iran's objective is to prolong the war while not meeting America's strengths, and until the last 3 days, it has done a mediocre job of that due to its tepid appetite when it comes to destroying civilian infrastructure in order to symmetrise that aspect of the war and keep it away from the playing field. Now that this is gone, General Salami's vision is within reach.
But how can Iran drag the US into a land war? And how would it do so without destroying its self and its economy as many nations in the past had done. I will explain this in a coming thread, but without this seminal lecture as the contextual basis, it will be difficult to appreciate and understand. The important thing is the US understands the cost of attrition warfare and asymmetry, and Iran must adapt to the new strategies the US has deployed in nations around the world to deal with asymmetric warfare.

In the late 1990s I worked at Ensemble Studios on the original Age of Empires line. What I learned constructing that game has lasted the rest of my life.
Some of it seems to have been forgotten by modern game companies. Let's discuss game design lessons from a small team that shipped a classic.
