@KimIversen Quick correction on the 8 April episode, around 33 minutes: Ahmad asks whether this is about the fact that women in Iran “have to have a scarf around their shoulders” then adds “it’s the exact same thing in Saudi Arabia” and you agreed with him. That comparison is false. Women in Saudi Arabia do not have to cover. They can wear what they want as long as it is modest, meaning at least to the knees and no bare shoulders. This is clearly stated in official Saudi guidance. Women who cover do so for religious or cultural reasons, not because the law requires it. Earlier in the episode, you were perceptive enough to question selective framing in Iran and why uncovered women are not the ones being shown or interviewed. Yet when Saudi Arabia came up, that skepticism switched off and an old stereotype was repeated as fact. Selective skepticism is not skepticism at all. It is bias.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.
Uncle Donald’s Master Plan
I have a theory. Kim’s promised me a big prize if I’m correct!
The debacle in Southern Iran a few days ago has led to this ceasefire, the teams need to re-equipped and reorganised, Uncle Donald is not interested in peace but needed to buy time.
So the plan is to mobilise special forces teams into Iran, billeted in safe houses reasonably close to 5 or 6 of the major “missile cities”.
During the period when the negotiations are in progress in Pakistan and quite likely on Friday 17th the special forces teams will move to their target, force entry into the underground city and place an explosive device deep inside. Most likely this will be backpack type nuclear bomb. They will then exit the city and make there way to a prearranged pickup point.
The bomb will explode, effectively destroying the underground city including all the missiles and drones stored there.
Iran will be effectively defenceless and will be forced to surrender.
This is a very high stakes ...
