I'm not really sure what their long term plan is here. Become North Korea 2.0?
Legalizing slavery, blacking out the internet... basically speedrunning ending up on every blacklist. Iran isn't really equipped to be self-sufficient. |

Most of what I'm seeing nowadays just looks like a rehash of the same crap about China and Venezuela over the past decade so I'd be very wary of any claims in western media. Despite USaid taking a hit during the doge shit, they've been going full steam ahead with soft power to make way for the harder stuff.
I literally saw a claim about Venezuela a couple of weeks ago (dec 31st before they kidnapped Maduro) going on about "Venezuela's version of China's Social Credit!!!" What was the claim based on? Fucking pings. Quote: "LATENCY ANOMALIES Government sites were slow on Christmas Day when zero users were online. Servers were busy reindexing millions of database rows." Literally just making shit up, funneling it through a couple orgs and then putting it in the local paper for US media to repeat. Happens all the time.
