@#118 ... Isn't storing posts against the rules?

I recall when I had my scraping software, the owner complained about saving posts. ...

What rules was your trolling current alias cited for?

Maybe being a participant in a troll farm? ;)


Troll farm
en.wikipedia.org

... A troll farm or troll factory is an institutionalised group of internet trolls that seeks to interfere in political opinions and decision-making.[1]

A 2017 report from Freedom House showed that 30 governments worldwide (out of 65 covered by the study) paid keyboard armies to spread propaganda and attack critics.[2]

According to the report, these governments use paid writers and bots to harass journalists and erode trust in the media.

Attempts were made to influence elections in 18 of the countries covered by the study.[2] ...




The Iranians, descendants of ancient Persia who brought the world chess and distinct musical syncopations, are not a stupid people.

Years ago an Iranian professor who studied and taught political science in Texas would appear on al-Jazeera's "Inside Story" from Iran. He was, incidentally, a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan. People like him advise Tehran about America and our election cycles.

Like 2024, 2026 may also be decided by America and Israel's Islamophobic misadventures in the Middle East.

Iran's multi-decade isolation by the West and constant threat of attack from Israel have informed their military-industrial complex to stockpile drones, rockets, and missiles. Iran produces so many drones that they sell them to Russia.

Without access to the numbers, I daresay Iran can probably continue launching drones and rockets at targets throughout the Middle East and outlast US and Israeli interceptor systems. Israel already reported a shortage of Arrow-3 interceptors.

Iran will continue counterattacking to hurt the Western economies (which they were kicked out of anyway).

Nota Bene: The Bosnian Serb Army was initially running roughshod over the Bosnian Army in the 1992-95 Civil War, suffering fewer casualties than the Bosniaks. After the BiH Army was armed with Western armaments and the Bosnian Croats allied with them, Bosnian Serb casualties started to mount and the war started to become unpopular with Serbian families back home. This helped bring them to the Dayton Peace Accords (DPA).

As a DPA Compliance Monitor, I met a Bosnian Serb military veteran who rolled up his shirt and showed me several bullet hole scars on his torso, just like the Preacher in the film Pale Rider. I was astounded he was alive. This Serb was the angriest man I ever came across during my several missions to the Balkans.

"Look! Look at me! And still the Bosnian Serb government doesn't send me money or someone to help me after all the promises they made to me and everything I went through! Look at my hut! See how I live? Ptooey!"
