  • As resident doomer, strategically hezbollah signed for this outcome (getting bombed and goinf underground) when isntreal invaded gaza proper like in december. Humanely, isnrael killed 1000 people to get one dude, they are little eichmanns (or good students of usa, but i repeat myself). On another, also empathetic level, they likely won’t read my genius strategic insight, and they are the ones ricking their lives out of decency. Something not found in the whole west (with like 2-3 bushnell notable exceptions). so pooh-poohing on them feels very wrong, and i try to stop myself.

    Iran are just hoping to get deal out of this probably, but that was obvious all the time














  • Cause purges put fear in party functionaries, and guy appears (who signed orders as well, mind you) saying no more purges, you can do whatever ;) and thus cements his power. Who cares it shoots any credibility dead in the world (and there is a difference between owning mistakes and exaggerating them to cast shadows over predecessor).

    Cynical theater fortifying power inside the party (cause no reprisal will come for your indiscretions), and crashing it elsewhere. But the blame lies on stalin as well, especially after ww2 the guy could have hit some system stability literature, he was close to unimpeachable.
