The intense violence from Iran's regime has eliminated political middle ground. The conflict is increasingly framed as a binary choice between the current Islamic Republic and a restored monarchy, marginalizing moderate voices who advocate for a democratic republic.
The Iranian regime's strategy extends beyond killing protesters; it actively dishonors their memory. By piling up bodies, charging families for their return, and limiting funerals, the state is purposefully humiliating the public, which in turn exacerbates anger and hardens opposition.
The U.S. founding documents, like the Constitution and Bill of Rights, contain intentionally vague language. This was not an oversight but a necessary compromise to unify disparate interests, creating a built-in ambiguity that is the primary reason for 250 years of legal and political argument.
Russia's propaganda strategy has evolved from disseminating alternative narratives to promoting 'vibes-based' content. Using viral media like the 'Sigma Boy' song, the aim is to foster specific feelings and ideas, such as patriarchal dominance, making it difficult to distinguish from organic trends.
A U.S. military strike to remove Ayatollah Khamenei is unlikely to help protesters. Analysis suggests it would more likely result in the Revolutionary Guard seizing control or other regime remnants continuing the fight, ultimately failing to satisfy the opposition and potentially worsening the civil conflict.
