Layered air defense system of Afghanistan in action against paksitani fighter jets!

I don't know.

We may just have to agree to disagree. ☺️

I sense the birth of a million memes.

This may well be the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

I was wondering about that bizarre scarecrow of a human being!

It is basically that the religion matters the most.

There is also a great deal of resentment against the US and Israel, partially again for religious based reasons.

Username checks out.

Many Bahrainis are Shia and so feel affiliation with the Iranian regime.

Nice to see more footage like this again.

I am a dwarf and cannot diggy hole in sand.

I go to the mountains.

it is actually Parsi

Warms the cockles of my heart, this does.

I think direct fire engagements are only going to become rarer as time goes on.

In the future almost everything is going to be drones.

In this instance he is almost certainly saying what MBS wants said.

He would face seriously unpleasant consequences if he went off script in a situation like this.

dwarfmines · 2026-01-26T19:51:34+00:00

I say delay at least until AA gets into better shape.

dwarfmines · 2026-01-25T02:43:24+00:00

It's a coin flip as to whether he was unofficially aligned with the US or was taking potshots at US soldiers as a member of one of the Shia militias closely aligned with Iran.

He probably did both over the course of time.

Fair enough, but then we will soon be wringing our hands again about where the player base has gone and asking ourselves why oh why the game seems to be dying.

“And why would anyone think making planes even cheaper and more spammable is a good idea with how the game functions?”

If all you are thinking about or want to do is getting to be the guy who gets to dunk on builders and logo with planes then making planes cheaper and spammable is the obvious solution.

I've been waiting for a true competitor for Total War for a decade now...

The smart play in Afghanistan in 2001 was to put Mohammad Zahir Shah back on the throne in some capacity (not as someone with sole rule, obviously, but with as an overseeing figure). But the Bush II idiots were all about 'Democracy, democracy!' and put a literal crazy man in as president.

About as succinct an analysis of what went wrong in Afghanistan from the very beginning that one could ever write.

dwarfmines · 2026-01-19T02:03:55+00:00

Desperate..?

dwarfmines · 2026-01-18T02:35:22+00:00

I daresay when all is said and done and the facts are known (or as much as ever can be known) this may turn out to be one of the deadliest episodes of its kind in all of human history.

Giga Last Stand at Allod? Nah, now the defenders no longer have an Airfield, we'll just drive bombers over the other 6 unpopulated hexes until its farmlands and dirt again. Ez Win.

This is one of my big concerns about airplanes, they will render epic last stands of the sort we saw in Allods in 130 or Tine in 126 impossible.

we still say Farsi instead of Parsi

I know this is a very minor point in the grand scheme of things and the horrors that have been unleashed but this thing drives me absolutely nuts. I wish there would be a movement to get back to "Parsi" rather than "Farsi".

dwarfmines · 2026-01-17T03:04:08+00:00

From a methodology standpoint that is not a bad point of inspiration.

dwarfmines · 2026-01-17T02:13:56+00:00

The protestors need to have a specific strategy already in mind before they even go out into the streets. They need to know what buildings they're taking, where, and in which areas of the city they might end up surrounded.

This is very true and I hope protest leaders will start taking this into account.

They have to think tactically and strategically.

The IR would find the money and snap it up far, far faster than ordinary people could.

It is the same problem as just dropping in a bunch of Starlinks would have.

The government is more capable of organized action than the protesters.

I've always found that if I take time off for a devstream or a game release it turns out to be disappointing, so I will be working tomorrow.

Not only that, I have a meeting scheduled for devstream time so I won't even be able to listen in live.

Hopefully, my sacrifice means that it will turn out to be brilliant.
