” the maximum number of arrests”
Well if they’d managed to abolish the police then he wouldn’t have been arrested…
Less crime!
(yeah, I do think a lof of leftists think this way).

I’m going to a talk about Iran here on campus. It’s advertised as “the conflict in Iran”, so there’s that. I’m very interested in hearing what the official leftist position on the war is and whether it’s different from Nick Fuentes’s.

Speaking on the war in Iran, I spotted something interesting today. One of the bloggers? I read every day is Vox Day. This morning he had a quote from the Jerusalem Post stating that hundreds of Kurdish fighters had launched a ground offensive in Iran.
Now why I wanted to bring this up was the issue of timing. It was Tue or Wens when the US and Israel started talking about arming Kurds and trying to spark a civil war.
This timeline does not match. Even assuming the Kurds already had weapons, which we cannot assume, but even if they did. Planning and staging a ground offensive is not a one or two day affair.
You have to get all your ducks in order as it were. Assign targets, plan what units go where so as not to have units running into each other throwing a wrench into things. You have to gather your troops up in their staging points without revealing this. You also have to supply them with weapons, ammo, maps, medical supplies, etc. And a thousand more things, including and especially making damn sure your opposition doesn’t discover what your about to do.
Basically you can launch an individual battle in a day or two, using local forces. That’s not really an issue. Granted that your going to either need to win quickly, or have ammo and reinforcements streaming into your AO in short order. But an actual offensive. That takes time, and a day or two certainly is not going to cut it.
So to me, I think this was planned weeks ago, and we are just being told that this was spontaneous. Which to be fair would match every bit of how this disaster is being run.
Also one more interesting thing I heard on Vox Day’s site. Apparently the Iranian military was given orders to follow through even if the leadership was killed, even before the opening decapitation strike. Which while not great for strategic coordination, does mean that their military does actually have a plan for the short term. Its likely less good in the long term, as they currently lack strategic level coordination, but I suspect they were thinking the US and Israel will run out of missiles before they get to a point where that level of coordination is required once more.

I’m very grateful for this comment. I was thinking the same thing about the Kurds’ involvement but since I don’t know much about the region I didn’t want to say anything. This confirms that I’m not going insane.
Thank you so much for your very insightful discussion of the war in Iran. I’m going to see what out resident specialist on Iran tells us at his talk today.

They are gonna get massacred and then we’ll have to hear Kurdish sob stories. They’ve received so many “fell for it again” awards in every war that by now you have to think that they’re masochists at heart. And stupid.

With a few changes, those words and much stronger ones too could be said re Palestinians. Don’t you see that?
Kurds are ‘ 30–45 million people’ without a nation-state. If you support Palestinians wanting a state and put the full responsibility on Israel, why not put the blame on Iran, Turkey and other actors resisting Kurdish desire for independence?

A short explanation from an Israeli expert on the Middle East [dated May 2025] regarding Israel’s view of Iran:

I only wish somebody explained what any of this has to do with us, given that we have people with 131 arrests setting people on fire and it’s hard to figure out why we need to be burning billions of dollars to create a similar mess in Iran to what we already created in Iraq and Libya.

People with 131 arrests will remain, regardless of US foreign policy. You’ve talked at length about neoliberalism, so that’s the kind of police protection UBI population will get. And we’re even not in UBI yet.
One possible explanation about the importance of Iran to you:
Another reason is if USA doesn’t take any real steps against Russia (don’t mean direct military ones), doesn’t react to Iran terrorising the Middle East and starting nuclear proliferation here in numerous not-democratic and potentially unstable regimes, in packed with terrorists states, why should anyone want to be its ally? One must work to support one’s hegemony , which is central to ensuring your standard of living.

Russia was allowed to sell oil.to India. This means funding the Russian war machine into the infinity. And, of course, propping up China. So the idea that this hurts China doesn’t fly. Destroying Europe in order to continue an endless conflict in the Middle East hurts the West. China is winning like a bandit from this.

In latest news via WSJ:
“U.S. Has a Big Ask for China: Buy Less Oil from Russia, More From America. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent weighs pushing the tricky trade-off along with other economic goals prior to the Trump-Xi summit”
The report says US asks China to buy less from Iran too.
Also, the conflict in the Middle East doesn’t have to be endless, I hope.

I really hope so. Trump is taking an enormous gamble here. Either he wraps it up fast or he tanks the party for the next 60 years. I talked to my MAGA friend yesterday and she calmed me down because she’s very optimistic.
