Slowly but surely, social modernization is happening. This is a HUGE wake-up call to the area. Religion, commerce, and basic rights can coexist. The above really leaves Iran as the only fundamentalist government of a ME industrialized nation not allowing reforms. They know the clock is ticking and they are vulnerable. Their brand is built on strict control and reforms would be the beginning of the end. The only chance they have is to foment anti-western sentiment.

Actually, massive is probably an overstatement. They only had a section of Europe, none of Russia, China is right out. I could go on, but why bother. More accurate would be North Africa and Middle East. Include Persia. Pertaining to inventions, yes I know history.

More importantly, islam made sure it wouldn't rebuild into the golden age by *rejecting* the outside sources - Ghazali/occssionalism, which went against the outside philsophies, and the Shafi'i school which both (I presume along with other factors including what you've mentioned) made the islamic world cut itself off from other sources around the time of the the 12th century. Essentially, they made it impossible for themselves to rebuild by becoming navel-gazing. They intentionally blew their own feet off. |

These days we have a glimpse of the world the isolationists want you to live in. A world without US security guarantees. A world where people straight-face apologize for — even celebrate — genocidal, atavistic barbarism. For those who parrot isolationist slogans for the sake of media attention, I hope you’re ready for the world you’ve chosen to live in. Americans are not quarantined from the consequences of this violent world. No country is. And if you think America’s past sins mean we should pass the baton to countries like China, Russia, and Iran — well, I hope you’re ready to live in that world. Because it is the height of naive stupidity to think that two oceans are a big enough barrier to protect us. The veneer of civilization is razor thin. Hiding just under the surface are the DNA strands that led to Bucha and October 7. We, as a species, are always treading water over the abyss. And if we stop kicking, we sink, quickly and easily, into those dark depths from which we thought we had escaped. |

That tweet is repugnant and that guy should go hang his head in shame and be forced to sit in the corner with the dunce cap on. "We should not be the policeman of the world" does not mean nor require anyone to apologize for or celebrate "genocidal, atavistic barbarism." He's grossly misrepresenting people and he ought to know he is, but I doubt he will (acknowledge that). Sick people ... It doesn't even mean you never can or should be involved in the world. Stinking clown-shoes tribalistic crap-flinging misrepresentation. |

View Quote Pending any sort of in depth investigation that can be done the OSINT guys did a decent job pinning it down. An associated terrorist group launched a rocket that had a failure, looks like it split in mid flight, and at least some of the remnants fell into the parking lot of the hamas hiding under the hospital base. There's even livestream video of it happening. The osint boys geolocated the happenings. |

The US is forcing Israel to put up an ineffective fight rather than allowing them to end this problem once and for all. |
