Tech News News: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly threatened to bomb the $30,000,000,000 Stargate AI data center. IRGC has released a vid.
The “bigger evil” eh? The US is the one who killed 10 thousand+ protesters? And the US is the one where women are beaten to death in the streets for showing their faces? Where LGBTQ people worry about a lot more than “can I play sports or use a public restroom?”
Lemmy has gone stupid over Iran. The two aren’t even close. Iran isn’t a “hero” in any sense of the word.
The bigger evil is the one that overthrew their democratically elected government in 1953 to protect British oil interests.
Women wore skirts, there was freedom and education for all but their government wanted the oil under their country and BP wanted to not pay a fair amount for it.
This is chickens coming home to roost after 60+ years for the CIA and MI6.
BP was just the company getting the oil. The US and Britain wanted a destabilized Middle East, the govt’s are to blame.
Now the US fell into a trap. Now they have had to remove sanctions on Iranian oil and Iran has started selling their oil for more money and in Chinese Yuan. They are making money on every barrel they allow through the strait and like it or not they are now a rising world power in opposition to a power in decline, the USA. I hope that that new world power will not be too cruel to it’s people and others but with the position they have been in for the last 60 years, I can’t really blame them if they are a cruel power to those in power in the region.
I don’t support them being brutal towards those who took them down so long ago and their allies but I’m not surprised.
Iran isn’t threatening the rest of the world though, and Magastan has killed several orders of magnitude more people on every continent. Including its own citizens.
Also, Magastan is directly responsible for the Iranian regime coming to power in the first place. So these atrocities committed are also blood on Magastan hands
I am pretty sure I borrowed it in the same way from someone else. Don’t think I am witty enough to have come up with that myself, but I don’t recall where I saw it.

Not even close. Would need to find those BP execs to start.

Speaking of chickens coming home to roost, why did Oracle build expensive data centers there of all places? Are they just effing stupid?
So the “bigger evil” isn’t the regime doing the things you say are evil.
I know, reading is hard, but you should try.

I like “Magastan”, going to borrow that.

The US is the one who bankrolled, enabled and protected a literal genocide, which is worse than everything you just said.
