I sometimes intentionally ask naive questions, eve if I think I alredy know the answer. Sometimes the naive question provokes a revealing answer that I have not even considered. Asking naive questions is a learning hack!
Drone propellers make a distinctive noise, which can be isolated quite well from background noise with FFT analysis. I doubt they'd choose to use AI for that, as classical methods work perfectly fine and need much less processing power.
you don't actually need to completely destroy all the underground levels in Fordow. It is enough to cause enough damage so that the stored uranium contaminates the site, while being sealed from the outside world under the collapsed site.
We're going to start dropping some freedom munitions on every nation that wants to export a looneytunes religious viewpoint? Physician, heal thyself...
Seriously, though. There are thousands of tin-pot dictators who would love to remake the world in their image. None of them have the ability to do so, including Iran. What makes this one special? Other than it being a very convenient target in a news cycle with some very inconvenient stories?
iranian proxies have contributed to the deaths of milllions of people including americans. syria, sudan, kuwait, libya, yemen, you think it's just looney toons you're shielded by the safety of your office chair.
then again if your username is accurate, there's no point
Ok, let's make the language more utilitarian. There are lots of bad governments in the world. What makes this bad government uniquely special? Why are we getting entangled in yet another to generational war? We're well past the point that we can cut blank checks. Our national debt is absolutely insurmountable, we're cutting social programs that will quite literally kill more of our citizens than Iran ever will.
aiding regime change would be much easier, and would solve all these problems better. At some point in the next few days, the regime will be so weakened that the Iranian people will overthrow it themselves
The IRGC is unlikely to let the regime fall so easily. They'll kill a lot of Iranians to stop that from happening. The Iranian people have limited means to fight at present. The no-fly zone and sanctions approach will be used to attempt to strangle the regime over the coming years. It'll take a small miracle for the regime to fall anytime soon, it's not that weak yet (imo) despite what the propaganda is claiming.
Israel can bomb the IRGC and Basij bases, police and prisons (release political prisoners). They can collapse the regime, restrict its movement, eliminate chain of command. From there the Iranian people can raise and topple the regime
This is quite interesting to me - how long can Isreal really continue with such intensity ?
The distance between Israel and Iran is huge - it must be extremely expensive to operate the air bridge allowing their air force to operate as it did last week.
But I would be really surprised if they can go on like that for a month.
This seems wildly implausible. I've never heard of this happening as the result of foreign attacks. And also, any new regime is very unlikely to be more pro Israel or the US.
The US negotiators in Iraq in ‘91 stupidly didn’t enforce a total no-fly zone, allowing the use of helicopters by the regime. Saddam used helicopter gunships to mow down the would-be revolutionaries attempting regime change. Israel won’t make the same mistake.
91 also happened in a brief period where Russia was holding back from supplying end-of-line military hardware to anyone who wanted to take a shot at the United States and its clients.
In one month if the Iranian government has not been overthrown by its own people what will you do? Will you change your beliefs or will the goalpost move?
Not really.
They can‘t see a list, as navigator.plugins is dummy data in every major browser, but they might able to detect eg. Adblockers by other means
You generally shouldn't. But data at rest is different from data in transit in that you are vulnerable to a MITM with data in transit. Who cares if you're saving an encrypted file or not, if you can't trust that it's the same file that you intended to access.
