In Iran they have had several police forces join the protestors at this point. Hopefully its a theme that continues and includes the military.

It only takes about 30% of the population supporting the regime plus military intervention to hold onto power. For some time now it seems that they've been below the 30% mark.

> a US invasion of Iran would undoubtedly lead to good things.

I think their neighbor would disagree.

> sell a war to the people.

If you have to sell the war, then you have no business conducting it.

You also forget how panama Germany, Japan, South Korea are better now after removing their authoritarian regimes.

Even as we speak Kurds are getting attacked near Aleppo by US-backed ex-Al-Qaeda president of Syria.

Sadly for the Kurds I’d say they are still pretty good friends to the US, as poorly as it’s been reciprocated.

As for the rest of what you said, no notes.

All correct. But something needs to be frontloaded.

1. Even if removing <bad government> would be good for that country, that doesn’t give some other state the right to do it. We let these entities get away with murder because they are our friends and they have the biggest guns, that’s it.

2. Always interrogate the real reasons why a state is doing it.

Now only after that we get to the facts like all those times it ended horribly for the people that <state> was supposed to help.

Yggdrasil uses exclusively IPv6 for routing on its own overlay network, but not on the Internet. See https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/faq.html#does-yggdrasil-...

It forms its own IPv6 network separate from the internet. It can peer over any IPv4 or IPv6 network, including the internet, LAN, or PTP.

>The Kurdish separatists and militants allied with the wrong country

Which country is that? Last I checked, the Kurds were helping out the US a couple of years ago and got absolutely screwed.

Iran can end up in a much more dire state. It can end up another Syria / Libya.. or worse another aggressive group like Taliban can take hold of the central government.

I also fear that the looming, imminent war between Israel and Iran is going to make things works. I'm expecting Israel to start a conflict within the next 6 months (or sooner) with the aid of United States.

This is the weakest IRGC have been. Many of their allies have been crippled, they have water issues, economical issues and now protests.

I think that securing Venezuela's oil aids this, should IRAN attempt to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, it will allow Israel and United States to maintain reserves (to what extend, I don't know).

I think things are going to get difficult for Iranian people, no matter what.

It worked out poorly for America — we got stuck in a long expensive war that we got basically nothing from — but for the average Iraqi? I'd much rather be an Iraqi citizen than an Iranian one, and that wouldn't have been true in the 90s. Saddam was pretty evil — and a bad leader. Iraq's GDP per capita is 6x higher today than it was in 2002, a year before the invasion.

We have a pro this time

Lora is fine if you want to send a very short message. Its not useful for much else.

Its also not a prevalent technology compared to general.internet/mobile phone.

Organising resistance with it is the pipe dream of those who play with chips and antennas, but its not something thats going to happen when crowds and mobs form up in a situation like this. Not least because the hardware is not accessible to your average citizen.
