Iran’s Su-35 Aircraft Procurement Is More Dangerous Than You Think

 The Su-35 procurement is not only a defense deal but also a strategic manifestation, proving the bitter cost of appeasement and naivety.   Taking advantage of Russia’s growing reliance on low-cost Iranian weapons amidst its stumbling campaign in Ukraine, Iran is now set to procure dozens of Russian Su-35 aircraft. While some Western assessments tend to downplay the gravity of the acquisition, claiming that it would not drastically alter the airpower balance in the Gulf, the Su-35 would give an unprecedented boost to Tehran’s control over the Iranian airspace.

Bitcoin, Idealism, and Frugality

  Only read if you don't mind being offended. Bitcoin, Idealism, and Frugality 2021-09-29 I guess I haven't talked much about my Bitcoin adventures. Nor idealism coming before common sense with finances. Maybe one of you out there is young and idealistic. Your views around money follow suit. You don't really care about losing money, you just care about doing the right thing. Is that so bad? Maybe it isn't the best idea. I hope I can talk some sense into you. First experience with Bitcoin I don't have the most consistent recollection of my journey with Bitcoin. But most likely, I heard about it at the second Slashdot posting. I fired up one machine and mined three blocks in a week. It might have been on a laptop....
