  • I honestly think Iran is too defanged to make a difference with escalation. Israel flexed their capability heavily and eliminated part of Iran’s C&C and a lot of their military and nuclear assets in one go, and they’re still continuing with strikes for any mop up.

    It’s a win-win situation for them because they’ve got the US to defend them and they can go almost full force on whatever they deem a threat.

    It might technically backfire for Netanyahu if Iran fails to mount any serious counteroffensive, at which point he won’t have any escalation path to stay in power, but it’s still a big win for Israel’s interests.

    Also not related to the question, but this proves HTS in Syria is just another CIA project that will follow Washington’s demands no questions asked since they clearly allowed Israel to operate within their airspace.



  • That was probably inspired by the USA’s crappy national curriculum system of forcing kids to learn and use the lattice method which is 100% some sort of scam to make it look like math illiterate children are passing class and failing upwards.

    I mean seriously, we’ve been using base 10 arab system for a millenia, but you’re trying to tell me the department of education came up with a better method of drawing a damn chi square matrix abomination that makes even the two millenia old roman numeral system look good in comparison.




  • It feels weird that Iran, a rather large country, is incapable of defending its airspace against aistrikes from Israel, which doesn’t even border Iran.

    Coming from the India-Pakistan BVR dogfight where we saw hundreds of fighters, drones, s2a missile batteries, complete AWACS and EW platforms, and some IAF planes shot down at ranges exceeding 150km, it’s jarring seeing just how non functional Iran’s airforce and air defense is against a modern threat.

    I don’t think they’re even capable of properly replicating the AIM-54, which is now an outdated LRAAM platform.

    It’s honestly baffling to see people actively support Gaza whilst simultaneously supporting Israel as a serious international partner.

    The amount of times I’ve read “Yeah but the dems will never drop Israel because they’re a key aly” without questioning why they’re a key aly is too damn high lol.


  • Lol nah, they might be generally well designed, but they’ve been making it all in China (until now for tariff bypass) for decades now, so you don’t get the Japanese OEM quality shine you usually get out of other electronics.

    Most of the repair will be for damaged consoles. Switch 1 battery lasted pretty well considering most phone batteries begin to deteriorate around 4 years.

    Aside from that though, I expect the joycon drift issue to be unfixed which will be the real issue, especially as warranties expire.
