1/ Here is how the abomination that is the AT-ST came about. Spoiler alert, it comes down to compromises & mission creep.
"Initial Requirement: We need a small dropship deliverable armored sentry tower (ST) for forward operating bases with space for 4 sentries"
An early sketch:
Now that Andor has given us a glimpse inside the Empireโs bureaucracy and military industrial complex, I want a โPentagon Warsโ style movie about the development of the AT-ST and the corners that were cut which resulted in it becoming easy prey for a bunch of Ewoks!

You still believe that we are not in a World War? Let me show you the map and the core combatants and you can decide for yourself.
Iran. Its territory and command were struck, which activated its declared war doctrine. Tripwire: an attack on the homeland.
United States. Strikes on Iran, a naval blockade, and sweeping aviation sanctions. Tripwire: its own Gulf bases hit in return.
Israel. Co-belligerent with the United States against Iran since 2025 and since February 2026. Tripwire: direct missile exchanges with Tehran.
Yemen, Ansarallah Houthis. Striking Saudi Arabia, Israel and Red Sea shipping. Tripwire: entry under Iran's "unity of arenas."
Saudi Arabia. Missiles now landing on Yanbu and Riyadh. Tripwire: its oil terminals and its capital under fire.
The new entrants this week:
France. Soldiers, radars and air defence sent to Yanbu, with fighters not ruled out. Tripwire: French forces placed on a site the Houthis are actively striking, so the first casualty forces a response.
United Kingdom. Refuelling Saudi jets and supplying air defence. Tripwire: enabling Saudi combat sorties from the rear.
Treaty-bound and mobilising:
Pakistan and Turkey. Tied to Saudi Arabia through the trilateral Mecca Pact. Pakistan has pledged to defend the Kingdom "to any extent" and is weighing strikes on the Houthis. Tripwire: a formal Saudi call activates the pact.
Iran's wider axis. Iraqi militias and Lebanon's Hezbollah under the same doctrine. Tripwire: any allied front reopens the entire war.
Pulled in through the blockade:
Iraq, Oman, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Enforcing the American ban on Iranian aircraft. Tripwire: under Iran's "facilitators are targets" doctrine, enforcement moved them from bystander to participant.
The counter-bloc:
China and Russia. Refused the blockade and backed Tehran, with China calling the aviation ban illegal. Tripwire: intelligence, economic and diplomatic alignment with Iran against the US campaign.
That is 15 states that are now inside the perimeter of a war sold as "regional", and almost every one of them walked in through a carefully crafted narrative operation or the guise of "defensive" or "economic". That is how small wars become regional wars and then global wars.

No, I am not Jewish
I support Israel because I'm on team Western Civilization against the medieval barbarians
People don't realize that the American strategy of keeping the barbarians occupied elsewhere is why we've not had more terrorist attacks in the US
My most asked question recently, given my support for Israel, is whether Iโm a Jew
I take questions about my intellectual integrity seriously
So I did an ancestry.com DNA test over Christmas holiday
I have no Jewish DNA, which was actually a bit disappointing๐คทโโ๏ธ

This is the cover of Life magazine, June 12, 1970.
At the time, Life was one of the most important publications in the world.
The photograph was taken decades before the Intifadas, before Netanyahu, and before Gaza as we know it today.
What was the excuse then for putting rifles in the hands of pre-pubescent children and training them to kill Jews?
What kind of movement does that to its own kids?
Some people would call it child abuse. It was more than that. It was a plan: a deliberate, generational project to pour Jew-hatred into children while they were still young enough to absorb it as truth. To make it visceral. To make it feel like belonging.
You can find similar photos and videos today of children even younger than these โTiger Cubs,โ still being trained the same way.
Some of them are almost certainly the children and grandchildren of the boys on that cover.
This is what intergenerational hate looks like.
This is how a society produces generation after generation with Jew-hatred running through their veins.
It was taught early. It was indoctrinated as soon as Israel was reestablished as the indigenous Jewish homeland.
.
That is part of how October 7 became possible.
When Jews have been dehumanized from childhood, young men can rape, behead, torture, and murder civilians and still believe they are doing something righteous.
We all want peace. We all want a life that is livable for Israelis and Palestinians. None of this is good. It is painful.
But if the people who never stop condemning Israel will not look at what we are actually facing โ how old this is, how deep it was planted, how deliberately it was passed from parent to child โ it is hard to see how this ends well.
You cannot heal what you refuse to name.

The โNakbaโ story dies on this primary source leaflet dated April 28, 1948.
The Haifa Workers Council and the Histadrut printed it and told the cityโs Arabs not to leave.
โDo not destroy your homes with your own hands ... The gates are open for work, for life, and for peace, for you and your families.โ
That week, British police in Haifa had reported the same thing. Jews were trying to keep shops open and to guarantee Arab lives and property. Ben-Gurion sent Golda Meir to say it to Haifaโs Arab residents face-to-face. Tens of thousands of them left anyway.
โNakbaโ first named the Arab failure to destroy the Jewish state. Later it was rebranded as a Jewish expulsion order. Look to Haifa and test that theory. There was no order to get out. There was a printed appeal to stay in multiple languages.
The Arab Higher Committee called anyone who remained under Jewish protection a โrenegade.โ Its chairman, Jamal Husseini, told the Security Council the Arabs โpreferred to abandon their homes, their belongings, and everything they possessed in the world and leave the town.โ
Most of Haifaโs 62,000 Arab residents walked out. A few thousand stayed. They became citizens of the new state, and today their grandchildren vote in Israel.
The expulsion story requires this page not to exist.

The UN has become a parody of itself. Real tragedy
No Joke: The Islamic Republic of Iran has been elected by secret ballot to the U.N. nuclear watchdogโs General Committee one week after the same body condemned Iran for non-compliance.
Dracula has been put in charge of the blood bank.

Occasionally conspiracy theories prove to be true but itโs rare. I find it hard to believe that weโre in a place where ostensibly smart people / mainstream founders believe non-sense like this without evidence to back it up and are willing to share it publicly on this app.
-911 was an inside job
-Birds arenโt real
- Trump is the head of Q and organization cleaning up an infestation of cultists in the USG.

Mayor Mamdani, you said war criminals who set foot in New York should be arrested.
Good news. One is in New York city this week.
The president of the Islamic Republic is coming to the United Nations, right here in New York.
He heads the regime that massacre innocent protesters. They gunned down unarmed protesters in the streets, hanged our children, and sent its agents to Brooklyn to kidnap and kill a New Yorker.
That New Yorker is me. The FBI files and federal indictments are public. Look them up.
If you have the courage to talk about arresting those responsible for crimes against humanity, start with the man sleeping five miles from your office.
Are you willing to act, Mayor? Or do Iranian lives not count?

Russia's internal security service has announced a curfew and restrictions along part of its border with NATO member Estonia.
Civilians have been banned from leaving villages after dark, boating on the Narva River, and hunting within 5km of the border.

Nothing to see here. Just the mayor of New York meeting multiple times with a man who admitted being in Hamas groups to coordinate propaganda, and who filmed Hamas terrorists kidnapping and torturing Israeli civilians (but didnโt take part because he didnโt want to be killed).

๐จ THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES HAVE JUST INVADED IRAN FROM WITHIN.
After Iran bombarded them relentlessly with missiles and drones, the UAE responded with full FAFO activated.
Emirati forces have been carrying out direct military attacks on Iranian territory for several days. This is not a rumor. Fox confirms: they are inside the Islamic Republic, hitting hard.
This is no longer a missile exchange. This is open warfare.
The Gulf nations are aligning themselves strongly. The Persian bear kept poking... and now it's getting real swipes.
The map of the Middle East has just changed forever
