Comments: "badaneh of Sepah" are too busy with lavat kari , guess again.
Comments: On a different note, watching the game in Brazil reminds me of how different their brand of the game is from the European one. They really can not or do not want to connect many passes like the European counterpart.
Comments: I agree with your timeline assessment. Just look at Cuba. They've been under sanctions for as long as I've been alive (64) and both sides are miserable with their failing relationships.
Comments: Sanctions work if you stick to it and not be wishy washy about it. Maximum pressure does work. People as we witnessed in the past 45 years under these nekbats have been suffering and will suffer no matter what. There is nothing there for them. Full blown War I am against. I think everybody is but do not mind destruction of key strategic military installations to weaken the Gharatgaran and lavAtkaran. And because you do not have an internal solution. And because none of us have internal solutions, this will be my hope / prediction. I am predicting that "badaneh of Sepah" will attempt a coup. I am hoping it is Sepah and not Artesh, because if it is Artesh then we may witness a civil war between Sepah and Artesh. That will not be good. Many middle ranked Sepahi are in Evin prison and you also have Mossad infiltration in Sepah. If people become hopeless and these occupiers continue ruling and oppressing people under their occupation then I do not mind a coalition intervention. Something will need to happen.
Comments: kAmkAr, Very good non specific answer. You are much smarter than me! I assume any punishment including sanctions are designed to deter people or countries from doing something and do what the sanctioner (it that a word) want them to do. That seems like a logical conclusion. Just like any project, it needs to be evaluated every now and then to ensure it’s on track. If it’s not doing what was intended, it is either designed wrong or executed poorly. Timeline and deadlines are also critical. No project could go forever. After a while, one need to realize the failure and try something different.

Comments: Zinsky, was that a pop quiz? All I know is that the sanctions has been for the longest time an excuse for IRI to use for their many shortcomings. Furthermore the time during the Obama when sanctions were partially lifted, things got better in Syria, Iraq, and Palestine. Maybe somewhat in Iran too. Like you've always said, foreign policy is way too complicated.
Comments: Is Reza Olangian part of the swap. He was my middle school friend in Rasht and we ended up going to same university in the US. He ended up becoming a Hezbollahi. He is imprisoned here in the US.
Comments: kAmkAr, This one is for you. How do we measure the success of a foreign policy? More specifically, when it comes to sanctions. When and how do we know if it’s working or not? Even more specifically, what does it mean when we say it is working? Most of us are educated professionals. We can’t work on any projects without understanding of goals, milestones and deadlines.
Comments: Let me make you comfortable by giving you my answer. I do not have anything to back it up. But I don't think it is as random as we think. I also do not believe they are full blown spies. They are just good catches for swapping.
Comments: Zinsky. Do you still believe that there was a legitimate reason (ex: espionage) about these dual citizens imprisoned in iran? Or was it just another baseless speculation?
Comments: U.S. Reaches Deal With Iran to Free Americans for Jailed Iranians and Fundshttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/us/politics/iran-us-prisoner-swap.html
Comments: Scary! https://youtu.be/bMY9Yww4InE
Comments: Don't miss Sao Paulo vs San Lorenzo coming up in 90 minutes. It promises to be a great game. Sao Paulo lost the away game 1-0 to the Argentine side in the first game.
Comments: Zinsky, I actually learn a lot during these discussions. That's why I stay out of it. Most of what's said among the two of you is what I kind of knew but could never put them in words the way you guys do. I feel like you both heard each other and you both have more respect for where you're standing. |
