"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." - T. E. Lawrence Anarchist. Dad. Metalhead. Numbers guy. Python dev. Self-custody fanatic. Weekends-only aspiring homesteader.
The 🇺🇸 Tomahawk double-tap on the girl's school in Minab was not as stupid as it looks. Many ranking officers at the nearby military base send their daughters to that school. The base is fearsomely fortified, but Iranians have an unusually family-obsessed culture, and it was quite predictable that Iranian fathers would defy orders and break cover to try to save their little girls. The 40-minute delay between "taps" maximised the number of fathers on-site. In the lingo, "Operational Planners leveraged Cultural Awareness and Human Terrain Mapping to bring High Value Targets (HVTs) with range of friendly kinetic effects". It's 2026: boys can be girls, girls can be targets, and winners are never charged with warcrimes. Tucker Carlson - "Mister Traditional Values" - disagrees, of course: "You can't have a war unless you believe you are — on the deepest level — better than the people you're fighting." "If you wake up in the morning living in the kind of country that thinks it's okay to kill — not simply military officers — but their daughters… That country is not worth fighting for."
