Syria project was to topple a secular Iran allied government with any other alternative which ended up being ISIS because Israel wanted it and they control the government, mainstream media and have passed laws at state and federal levels so you can’t even criticize them

Doesn’t matter. Once bombs start hitting next to you, you rally around the flag

No, Iran started helping the US against Taliban only to be put on the axis of evil list by Bush. Signed a deal with the US only to be torn and Trump placed maximum pressure.

US foreign policy in the Middle East is run by Israel.

Iran is foolish to have not yet built their nuke.

You somehow blame Iran for a war Israel started, twice. Do you even believe what you’re spreading?

40K death is fake news. Iran hitting their own school is fake news. Stop spreading lies. Can’t tell if it’s out of malice or ignorance though

That’s a manufactured made up number to down play the future civilian casualties from the war.

That’s a large portion of the western media across the gamut.

Planet labs has also been banned from publishing damages to US bases and Israel.

I suspect it all means it doesn’t look very good for the US

What are you talking about? US / Israel combined haven’t won this war yet. In fact, it’s not looking good for them.

Unrelated, I’m truly curious what process led to the entire western bloc being taken over by the Zio mafia? It’s quite remarkable.

There needs to be a postmortem for this.

In retrospect the lesson learned here is Iran should’ve built proper counterintelligence and built a few nukes a long time ago.

They are foolish for not having done so already

I'm sorry this sounds like hyperbole to say the least.

idk about their accuracy but "error free"?

Also do you understand the amount of compute and network bandwidth necessary to index and track billions of people by processing exabytes of streaming footage constantly with heavy computer vision models. who's integrating all these different camera systems to start with?

These claims sound like they come from someone who hasn't done these things in real life.

Tangentially, it seems like Israel tech scene has so many players involved in spyware/malware and surveillance.

The argument I have heard about the US taking 20% stake in Intel is that when a company asks for federal money then it’s only fair if the federal government gets some equity in return.

You can’t socialize losses and privatize gains.
