It’s awesome to see totalitarian theocracies make advances in technologies that have parallel military uses?

InDubioProRubio2• 2 years ago

The totalitarian Theocracy is 40 years old- one generation. Before that it was and always has been the Persians. Intellectual powerhouse of the middle east.

Cairo-Bhagdad-Teheran - that was were its at, before they ran into the regions resource limit and adapted a religion that is great at eternal, zero-sum wars and paranoid delusions about external influence and bad at everything else.

You're right. Nations we don't like should stay in the stone age, especially the people.

I mean, haven't the majority of rocket developments been towards military uses? Does anything not have parallel military uses these days?

you seem not to like how iran is setup, which makes it absolutely necessary that they’re able to put up a resistance should people who think like you attack them. as far as the universe goes, many beliefs about ways of human society organization exist. democracy works for one, not for the other. in fact, democracy has been the undoing of my home country. but it has made us subservient to the west, so naturally the west ‘supports’ our democracy. i wish we’d have some sense to re-examine this strange political experiment of ours, that’s barely 50 years old, and has given us nothing but misery. if we do, we might face opposition from the democracy shmemocracy faithfuls, in which case being able to violently resist any attack will be important.

the nation is oppressed, there were over 800 executions in 2023, most political. It wages wars through proxies that destroy lives in the locations where they are active. It has tortured and beaten up its citizens for as much as wearing a hijab wrongly. Are you actually an Islamist Revolutionary Guard or aligned with North Korea or Putin’s government to say that this is awesome?

I wish Iran and Israel could just resolve their issues by competing who reaches the moon first or who can dig the deepest hole.

Dual use technology competition furthers nuclear power.

aerodog• 2 years ago

Israel has won the hole competition

voidUpdate2• 2 years ago

And the moon competition

ChocolateGod• 2 years ago

But what about the best Fajitas competition?

niemandhier2• 2 years ago

Is there any particular hole? As an oil nation, Iran is pretty good at drilling deep.

I wonder, did everybody get along just fine at the Olympics ?

Iran and Israel did get along before the Islamic revolution.

Edit after walthamstow's Feedback: The Islamic revolution which was a consequence of the CIAs interference?

The smaller-diameter versions of their solid-fuel missiles were recently shipped to Russia and will (US assesses) be used against Ukraine and Ukrainian civilians in the coming weeks.

I'll keep to myself my thoughts on the Iranian ballistic missile program, because they're off topic for HN. I'm not going to be celebrating this achievement.

Not suggesting anything here but the tech to launch satellites is very similar to the tech used to launch ICBMs.
