• Unpopular opinion: the lesson from some kids dying from exploding pagers is that it's bad parenting working for a terror group of Iran. Your child might end up dead. Then again, responsible parents value kids more than they value the death of other people, but that argument goes two (both) ways. Grotesque how Russia steps in, pretending to be voice of reason.

• Because Russia started a massive war against a peaceful neighbour and now with import of ballistic missiles from Iran Putin's Kremlin is in effect another "proxy" of Iran - the one that lobs in bombs onto Europe. But technology-wise, Russia lags behind, that's why it needs many other people in other countries to export their arsenals.
