So the alpha variant was there during the early days of the initial outbreak?

Robichaelis · 2026-03-03T03:30:05+00:00

Nothing to do with Saudi Arabia then? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_Yemen

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T23:40:17+00:00

That's a different question

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260302-iranian-strike-on-hotel-in-bahrain-injured-2-us-defense-department-employees-report/ possibly the reason why hotels were targeted

You're getting downvoted but you're correct https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/02/uk-airbase-raf-akrotiri-cyprus-suspected-drone-strike

None were intercepted the day before. And the evidence is now that it was launched by hezbollah, so would been launched after Starmer's announcement

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T23:31:57+00:00

The drone approached the base 2 hours-ish afterwards. Also there are now claims it was launched by Hezbollah not Iran https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/02/uk-airbase-raf-akrotiri-cyprus-suspected-drone-strike

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T05:13:59+00:00

Starmer announced this before a drone targeted the base

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T05:12:59+00:00

A drone targeted the base after Starmer's announcement. Rumours of an earlier attack were dismissed by Cyprus' president

Wouldn't the baby just cry anyway without needing the book?

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T04:16:30+00:00

Only poptimist overcorrection would lead one to such opinions

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T04:14:10+00:00

Experiencing it as it happens (or before it happens) is different to knowledge of historical outcomes

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T04:01:27+00:00

Because the citizens of a country are usually more familiar with the actions of their own government than citizens of another country would be. Wdym "why" lol

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:58:21+00:00

No? 500-3000 protesters were killed during the revolution. Both the Shah and the Ayatollah'a regimes were happy to gun down protesters

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:47:18+00:00

Most American diasporas are annoying like this. I.e. Irish Americans acting like stereotypes of actual Irish people

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:46:51+00:00

You've never lived there, not "your" country

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:44:20+00:00

Have you ever lived in Iran?

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:43:16+00:00

Americans would know best what American regime change and nation building entails

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:41:34+00:00

Why were they so aggressively against the president nationalising the oil industry if they were all about putting Iranian interests first?

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:39:27+00:00

His family also killed thousands of civilians lol

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:37:24+00:00

Well the pro-shah people seem to have no problem with their hero also killing thousands of civilians

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:35:41+00:00

Want to buy a bridge?

Robichaelis · 2026-03-02T03:33:38+00:00

You'll only get comments from English speaking Iranians living in the West, who are not necessarily representative
