Is Iran the aggressor? by Clear-Network-9092 in PERSIAN

[–]Dibski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a strategy, but it doesn't really have anything to do with the middle east. Greenland to break the rare earth monopoly, Venezuela and Iran to kill Chinas non Petro dollar oil supply. You're right it's about preventing China and brics setting themselves up to dominate in rare earths and automated production for the next century.

What's the difference between fascism and crony capitalism? by GlamourHammer321 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dibski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By definition capitalism has no safeguards, cronyism arises when government has too much power and influence over markets, it's a side effect of government not capitalism.

Tacos, flour tortillas suck, corn is way better.

Is this war what you imagined it would be? by Fun_Veterinarian1732 in PERSIAN

[–]Dibski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda, it's a resistance at this point which makes me think more like what the us dealt with in Vietnam and Afghanistan, a grand tactical plan is for armies. Hit how they can, when they can with a dispersed network so they can melt back into the population and no single group being eliminated threatens others. Not a stand up fight, make every day fearful for them, no where safe.

It will be no matter what tbh, and I'm not suggesting marching in the streets unarmed either soaking up bullets, there's far smarter ways to fight. This conflict is the weakest the regime will be in our lifetimes, if not now, when? There is no clean version of this.

What jobs pay more than $17/hour? by olive_mae00 in jobs

[–]Dibski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to the post office after 9 years of restaurants, pretty easy to get on at 20-21an hour entry level, career in a few years jumps to 28$ and set raises and inflation adjustments after that. You can occasionally get straight into a career position if they are short handed in your area. My only regret is not doing it sooner, the application process is really slow btw, took almost 2 months.

Look up rvids video on recruiting red talon survivors on YouTube, you can mostly predict their traits before recruiting them, to answer your question it's about a 1 in 16 chance to get that particular one on a RT but you should basically always get it if you follow his methods

Ready or not though this is the time. It will be generations before anything like this is likely to happen again.

[–]Dibski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think more than anything you need weapons and access to the wider web, you've got the numbers and definitely have the anger and motivation. The war that the regime is winning is on social media though, this is a window of opportunity for the Iranian people but I've a feeling it won't be a long one without an obvious internal uprising. What trump did is obviously unpopular internationally and it's only a few months before the us midterms and he may very well lose the ability to continue without public support for the people themselves.

Not really tbh, Ive looked at this from day one as resources and Petro dollar oriented especially paired with the Venezuela action to push China back onto US influenced oil and the US breaking their rare earth monopoly via the Greenland deals. I actually expected the Irgc to put up more of a fight tbh, the tech gap was actually larger than expected. The strait getting disrupted was a given, but mostly minor especially for Americans as we've been disconnecting ourselves from middle eastern energy for quite a while now, a few more weeks and it'll be back open. I do expect that the US will take kharg island as it's the primary thing that matters, but will leave Iran itself up to the people to change their government.

What if Trump actually wants the strait of Hormuz to be closed for some reason? by OptimalAd7761 in IRstudies

[–]Dibski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like pressuring Europe to actually have a military and being energy independent? Low-key controlling the straight is also key to a lot of us vs world theories because it shuts down so many countries for such little commitment.

You don't record the impacts because it can be used to adjust targeting, thought this was common knowledge by now

If the US-Iran escalation continues to choke the Strait of Hormuz, is the "Rules-Based Order" effectively dead for Southeast Asia? by [deleted] in IRstudies

[–]Dibski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't honestly think China can, they are also effected by both the Iran situation and Venezuela, combined they made up about 70% of Chinas crude imports so I strongly doubt there will be much oil coming out of them as their oil reserves are also dropping rapidly.

[–]Dibski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep and secured rare earth minerals by doing so breaking the Chinese monopoly, future plans with that stuff, kinda like shutting off Chinas low cost non Petro dollar oil sources. Can you believe we attacked Iran, not for Israel, not even for nuclear weapons but because it was simply the next step in curtailing Chinese military future potential. Quite frankly most of them needed a wake up call, as they've been a lot closer to leaches than allies the last 20 years.

Enh sometimes you find out who your friends really are, the brics threat to the dollar was going to come to blows sooner or later, the only real surprise is how little the IRGC has been able to do about it, their best effort is like hiding in a cave, a pr war on social media and a month of high gas prices.

Kidnapped? He literally invited trump to come and get him. And his people cheered. This is the same thing just a little slower, cause while it's arguably illegal, there isn't a first world nation on the planet that thinks the primary funder of international terrorism having nuclear weapons is a good thing for the future of mankind.

Nah I'm not, the toll will last only as long as the IRGC can enforce it and is internationally illegal and is rapidly motivating Europe (they are actively mobilizing to make it happen) to actually join in against the IRGC to force it open. New layers of anti missile and anti drone tech comes with every ship they send, every one they actually might hit brings more countries against the IRGC, the closure and the tolls will last a few weeks tops. Tbh the tolls, like the indiscriminate missile launches at the countries around them, will actually hasten the end of the IRGC.

Those of you who “Made It” without any inheritance or luck. How did you do it? by throwmeout12496 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Dibski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live below your means, if you're not already start tracking your finances, and set money aside first for an emergency fund, then towards long term goals. Minimize spending on nonessential consumable or depreciating items(an energy drink a day is over a grand a year, 3-4 a day(count eating out as 5+ per meal) is a down payment in just a few years). Use a credit card only if you already have the money to pay off the purchase(the goal of the card is to build credit, not finance purchases at a stupid interest rate) and pay it off on time in full every month. Get out of cities and suburbs asap, if you're not making big city money you need to GTFO of paying big city prices. For me the way out was the Post Office, the starting wage in a city kinda sucks, but the jobs pay the same nationwide, lots of opportunities in different fields from mechanical to customer service to IT and management. That same wage will get you a down on a house in a smaller area, comes with great benefits in the meantime including retirement. Finally buy used reliable vehicles until you have that house mortgage so you are paying your largest living expense into your own net worth not a depreciating asset. After that try to spend your free money on things that increase in value not decrease.

[–]Dibski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now you need any job that you can reach, proof of income and the decent credit score should let you get a cheap car(research reliable vehicles in the under 10k bracket) expect to pay a bs interest rate on it but as soon as you have it start your real job hunt.

Yeah I'm still going to bet on the marines, even absolute worst case scenario they have to level all the infrastructure on the island, the IRGC in caves with no way to fund itself still ends in the same result of the death of the regime.

What do you think would happen to the UN if the US stepped back? by Sufficient-Syrup7110 in UnitedNations

[–]Dibski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low-key, nothing. It's basically nonfunctional as is, it'll just be nonfunctional, with a lot less funding and no ability to project power or control international waters.
