The topography is non conductive. There was a pipeline that went to Sidon though.

Shame on Israel using settlers as human shields

The shortsighted fascists running the US and Israel might do it, but it won’t have the outcome they hope. Iran is massive and will completely destroy the region’s energy infrastructure before the second one drops. Then again why wait a few weeks, if they could have done so they would have by now.

They probably figured that destroying West Asia leaves them with either Russian oil or Chinese renewable technology, both are less desirable.

I hope Iran wins this war and I hope the US and Israel pay for their crimes.

Have you? The recent protests were due to economic issues caused by the sanctions. Iran is diverse: Shia Muslims, Sunni Muslims, ethnic and religious minorities, so of course there will be all kind of different views, but the majority viewed Ali Khamenai as a religious leader as well as a political leader, he was also a religious leader to Shia outside of Iran. He was most similar to the role the Pope played during the Papal State period.

This could be read as all Iranians hate Trump which is most probably true, or all Iranians hate their government which is most definitely false.

Please let this be a sign of things to come and the US is forever gone from West Asia.

I was really hoping that the China brokered peace with Iran was a sign of things to come. I don’t know if it is shortsightedness or fear, but they should have distanced themselves from the US. Even if they try and drum up sectarianism against Iran no one wants to die fighting for the US and Israel.

Hosting US troops is a liability. They offer no protection.

Couldn’t he have done that by investing in renewables rather than killing thousands and ruining the lives of millions?

The outlook is not looking good. Betting everything on US protection was a mistake. The people that will be hurt by this will be the most downtrodden and dependent on government welfare and services, one of the few good things about the GCC states.

Yes, who else would be entitled?

Nice

As a first step, see if you can get by by just using FOSS software on Windows. If you can, then you will lose nothing, swapping your “app launcher” is inconsequential if the programs you use are the same.

Wine/Proton are very good when it comes to game support, so you should be alright there. You can always check protondb and winehq to confirm the support status of the game you want.

I recommend a boring and stable distro like LinuxMint. It is based on Ubuntu but even better imho.

It is tricky to translate since it is not in Standard Arabic. It basically contrasts the sorry state of the Arab World at the mercy of the US with North Korea’s resilient and heroic opposition to the US. Here’s a translation:

If only I were North Korean,

Standing tall, my head held high.

Embarrassing that fool Bush,

Crushing his head beneath my sandals.

If only I were North Korean,

Never yielding, never wavering,

Never once showing cowardice,

Never bowing in humiliation or compromise.

My head as firm as the mountains.

If only I were North Korean,

Saying with a thunderous voice:

“We do not fear you, you deluded one.

Do whatever you wish —

You don’t know the men you’re facing.”

If only I were North Korean,

Never once in his life did he submit,

Never allowed his palace to be searched,

His hands and waist never trembled,

And he twisted the ropes with confidence.

If only I were North Korean,

Saying: “I have a reactor for you,

Producing thousands of bombs,

With range reaching all the way to New York,

You fool, son of fools.”

If only I were North Korean,

I’d burn you in the middle of your home —

You and everyone who joined your war.

Don’t think I’m Mubarak,

Nor am I Saddam in my foolishness.

If only I were North Korean,

The Arabs are a strong nation,

But their zeal betrayed them,

Ignorance slaughtered them,

And their foundation became people of foolishness.

If only I were North Korean,

If we had walked upon the path of Islam,

We would not have been defeated nor lost,

By God’s will we would have triumphed,

And gained honor and beauty.

If only I were North Korean…

Oh, North Korean…

The people of Samsung Korea yearn for freedom

I was hoping it would get destroyed.

Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq and Saudi Arabia don’t have Israeli ambassadors, only Bahrain and UAE.

On the upside this should help Russia.

The Burger Empire goes to war for oil usually, this time they went to war to bring Jesus back. Maybe he will change water to oil?
