My Slashdot experience has been that "networking" is considered a 4 letter word.
Last I checked, networking was a four-letter word, and those letters were CCNA.

no one can tell who the equivalent of Trump is for the islamic republic, but no one is saying that it's President Pezeshkian
Surely it's Ahmad Vahidi, head of the IRGC.
I like your concept that the negotiations are aimed at driving wedges between the factions in Iran. Certainly, agreeing to a deal this week requires the IRGC to show their hand at least.

Inertia, plus distrust with anything new.
Especially when this particular "anything new" is the subject of pending copyright litigation. See Doe v. GitHub.

Submission + - Trump's "Made in the USA" Phone is just a reskinned HTC U24 Pro 1
necro81 writes: The heavily promoted, $499 T1 "Trump Phone" was originally said to be "Made in the USA" and ship in September 2025. Later, that was downgraded to "Assembled in the USA". Given the Trump Organization's lack of engineering or supply chain expertise, many assumed the "T1" would just be a private-label phone made by someone else. After a number of delays, the first phones are finally shipping.
iFixit has performed a teardown and concluded that the T1 is a just gold-painted 2024 HTC U24 Pro — a device from a Taiwanese company, probably using mainland China design and supply chains. In collaboration with NBC News, the iFixit team examined both phones using CT scans, side-by-side teardowns, and even reassembled a working T1 using a U24 Pro main board. As for "assembled in the USA", that may be true, in the same sense that your phone's repairman can "assemble" a phone from a handful of subassemblies sourced from someone else. Or it may have been assembled in Guangdong, China like the other U24 Pros.
iFixit sums it up: "What you have is not an 'American-Proud Design', but a phone designed in China, made in China, with the vast majority of parts sourced from China. I’m failing to find any stirring of American pride within me. I’ve certainly felt it before, so I can confirm that it is absent at this time."

The Iranians are more astute than Trump thinks, and they've understood exactly what he's up to.
If the Iranians understand what Trump is up to, they are more astute than I am.
I have no fuckin' clue what Trump is up to until he does it.

Already, the regime is turning on itself, and after a chain reaction has started, it'll be impossible to salvage it.
It's really hard to know what is going on inside Iran right now. Last year, good data was hard to come by (like reasonable polling data). This year it's even harder.
Have you noticed that in all these discussions, nobody is talking about Iran's president Pezeshkian?
AFAICT the president of Iran has always been more of a figurehead. Do you think that has changed?
I do think that the Iranian people will be free. I just hope it'll be sooner rather than later
Yes.

You have a low IQ, you can't read, and you somehow think that it matters if an attack against America happened on American soil or not.
You may have a high IQ, but you don't have much ability to put together a coherent thought, thus again proving IQ tests are partially useful.

Failure to attack American soil was a result to incompetence by Iran, not by lack of desire or attempts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

This doesnt even feel like an american war cause... we attacked who? why?
The Iranian dictatorship has been attacking America for 40 years. They chant "death to America." They kill their own people with imported mercenaries for protesting peacefully. There is a war between the Iranian government and America, and plenty of justification if you want it.
That said, what Trump did was crazy, and Iran might be more likely to get a nuclear weapon now than they were a year ago. If you want something done right, don't trust Trump to do it because he's like an MBA: his primary skill is knowing how to take power.
