Well, they're kinda busy right now getting bombed so I don't think it's a priority now.
Like, sure, at first the blackout was due to repression, yes. But then after a while these two countries started bombing the crap out of Iran, so now it's a slightly different situation.
Let's imagine you have two crackheads smashing your front door: are you gonna be worried about fixing the internet at that very moment?
The Internet isn’t broken it’s turned off
The reason its turned off was because of protests.
But now they get to blame the US for everything.
What does my second sentence say, friend?
What does their first sentence say, friend?
What does panda_abyss last letter of their first sentence + second letter of the second to last word of their first sentence + the third letter of the third to last word of their second sentence + the fourth letter of the fourth word of the first sentence say, friend?
feck?
"terned"?
Protests armed by the US, per Trump
Gives the regime a nice scapegoat to help turn the protestors anger at the US and external factors.
The smart thing would have been for the US to quietly back the revolution and provide them with support to overthrow the regime. But here we are.
Trump said they tried this by routing them weapons through the Kurds and the Kurds just kept the weapons.
Weird, I wonder why the people Trump left to die less than a decade ago don't want to help him out??
Art of the Deal ladies and gentlemen!
Hey! Whoa! That's not fair to claim that trumps book and the bussiness style employed in that book relates to this situation! That's totally an unfair thing to say! After all, the guy who wrote that book has nothing to do with the way trump does bussiness!
"i gave weapons to people desperately fighting for survival to give to people desperately fighting for survival. when the didn't enact my vision, i threw a tantrum"
what a fuckin' loser
it likely wont happened as they likely quashed the protests with tons of executions, plus they can just turn of the internet to prevent them from organizing further. they did with the murder of the little iranian girl years ago, there wasnt significant pushback since.
At this point, the shutdown might even be strategic, to make it more difficult for the us to gather leaked information
..and keep US propaganda and tech Oligarchs out. Any nation that doesn't control its information borders, risk 'regime change' by the US regime..
Or the Russian regime. Or at this point the combination.
Would your country like to join the Internet borg?
hybrid warfare baybee! the northern empires are real good at it! it's just mass media manipulation from the 1930s only this time again
They always do this untill they decide to turn on them.
Remember when we armed "Syrian Rebels" and then a few years later had to go and fight a suspiciously well armed ISIS?
And if there's one thing you can rely on: we aaaaalways turn on you.
Unless you're Israel.
you guys are aware he's a serial liar that can't be trusted?
Lying about fuckin' everything? Agreed.
Oh god.
The Internet might just be the only way to call for help.
