    Well done.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    I can promise you it wasn't the Branden administration that did it.

    Does this harm the regime or the people more? If it's the people, and the regime can blame a state actor for their misery, this will have the effect of strengthening the regime's grip on power.

    What works best with oppressive regimes is to empower the people. To give them a taste of what they're missing. Sanctions simply make oppressive regimes stronger by giving them an external enemy to channel their people's hate and misery towards. Sanctions haven't helped in North Korea, Cuba, Russia, and they're not helping in Iran.

    Sanctions are what you implement towards another country if you need to sell something to your own population. Having an external enemy has the great effect of uniting your people under your banner, and sanctions are the best way to keep the problem lingering instead of solving it.


    ETA: You want to actually solve the Iran threat? Unite the people against the regime.

    For the average Iranian, having no gas would serve to further alienate them from those in charge.

    Not if the reason for not having gas can be pointed to a foreign actor.

    Shit, we already KNEW that, brother.
    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

    The average Iranian is probably as used to their government lying to them as we are.
    Their interest is in having gas, not excuses.

    Kinda related my buddy was saying how team brandon basically gave the green light to Iran to have nukes and that is going to happen soon
    I did reply you think that Israel is just going to let that happen you will see LOTS of shut downs cyberattacks and other things along the way and NOT letting it happen

    Hahahhaha this was great news

    There is a country that excels at shit like this, I think it's called Stuxnet or something and I think it's near Sweden. But that's all I really know.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.
