Even tariffs won't be enough. Iran is the 8th carbon emitter in the world despite heavy sanctions and tariffs and their entire oil export are under heavy sanctions, they export onl…

I would love it if what the US imposed was an actual democracy. What the US imposed in practice was the shah coup in Iran, which was quite democratic beforehand, which in turn led …

Destruction and confusion of western values, leading to a population more open to authoritarian and illiberal policies. The goal is to confuse uneducated people (or rather, educate…

Their motivation is to obviously control the public narrative. That's hard to do when facts contradicting the narrative spread. So you call the dissent misinformation, you pump pro…
