I can understand that, but I'd be surprised to see an Iranian president who didn't speak out against the entity

Again, not saying I'm happy about it

You may be misreading my post, I'm not celebrating his death, only questioning why leftists are seemingly mourning his death outside of the impacts it could have to Iran

My point was seeing it as something like the death of Putin on a smaller scale: aware it will cause internal and external political ripples which could be bad for the people but not someone we should be mourning

It was pretty recently after the crash so I'm willing to believe it could be sensationalism

Wasn't he pretty involved in the suppression of women? All I've read is that he generally wasn't well liked by any group of the citizenry of Iran

I can understand people feeling concern for Iran's people and trajectory during a tumultuous time like this, but I don't think anyone should feel bad he's gone. He wasn't a good person

's brilliant plan for reaching Mars

Care to explain how calling a person of Asian ancestry Pooh Bear isn't incredibly racist?

Tfw not in minutes because it wasn't hypersonics at Tel Aviv

So Cuba should dissolve a government widely approved of by the people and return to client state gang run institutions for the ability to receive food? You're a fucking idiot. Calling people sith lords, please learn to engage in world politics by using meaningful vocabulary instead of trying to equate everything to your favorite work of fiction

China should run port blockade

Pretty much what the researcher I was speaking with told me, the US is an entire generation of engineers behind China as it stands

Just as a glimpse into the American side, because we've created import bans on Chinese chip making components recently but previously offshored anything and everything to save a dime, public universities are unable to do significant research on developing PV cells because the only source for some niche aspects of the process are only made in China now.

As an added note, there is an incredible amount of concern about IP because 'China will steal it' and badmouthing of the Chinese government for, checks notes, subsiding R&D for PV cells and storage technology at a rate that massively outclips Biden's flimsy recent CHIPS Act (which still hasn't started distributing funds yet)

I hold no love for JFK, but it is admirable he was hoping to conduct joint missions with the USSR to the moon. For something as catastrophic as climate catastrophe, you'd think we'd all want to cooperate on creating the most efficient harvesting and storage technology as possible, but no, or proooofiittsss and IPPPPPPPP.

It's things like this that make any alien movie or otherwise that shows humanity uniting for the continuation of the species laughable. The US would use it as an opportunity to nuke China then see if they could sell the aliens some oil.
