Notable Absences

Western Nations: No European or North American countries were invited, as Iran excluded nations that supported the U.S.-Israeli military actions.

China, Russia, Turkey: While represented by high-level officials, their heads of state did not attend in person.

Mojtaba Khamenei: Iran’s new Supreme Leader, wounded in the same strike that killed his father, did not appear publicly due to security concerns.

there are all sorts of videos of the huge crowds out for the duration of the week-long funeral, and i watched a lot of them — i think maybe approaching zara's casket is what did in most of the men in attendance — medvedev seemed to me to be very close to tears — but you can just google up "khamenei funeral videos" and see for yourself

I'll add anything else about it I find particularly noteworthy when/if it pops up.

mirandi and blumenthal go to the funeral

South Korea and Australia, at least, could be expected to decline. Britain is hopeless, even in the face of very compelling reasons to flatly decline.

You still believe that you are the main character of this play, don't you? You are a petty comedian who fancies himself the arbiter of the destinies of a great continent. You're playing too much.

Your stage is covered in blood, and you're still waiting for the prompter to tell you the words about a victory that won't happen. You're not David fighting Goliath. You are a clown who was pushed into the arena, given a cardboard sword in his hands and promised that the gods of Olympus would be on your side. But the gods are sitting in Washington and Brussels, drinking expensive wine, and watching your torment as if it were a gladiatorial fight in HD quality. They don't need your victory, they need your endless process of self-destruction.

In your infinite pride, you've fed them an entire country. And you dare to make threats against Hungary through your teeth? Because I don't want to burn in your campfire? You want the whole of Europe to jump into the abyss after you.

That HAD to feel REALLY good.

To this guy I very seriously do not like or trust. I don't think I can be talked out of it. He's been very heavily counseled, point by point, to make this speech. I don't even think he wrote it. Sorry to be so negative about what is essentially something of a relief to hear... even if we can no longer be certain any of them really MEAN it.

Anymore. There's been SO much jackassery on "our" side of this for SO fuckin' long, and every single time I get my hopes up even just a jot, they are dashed by unbelievably MORE jackassery.

how long is a reasonable wait

For ALL Israeli personnel to exit and ALL food and shelter relief to enter?

A week?

A month?

A day?

Or how about not one more minute? I don't want to be dead before I can feel good about any of this, and it still too easily can turn into exactly that. The UN is probably mollified somewhat, and I don't like that part either.

It's too much like Donald is never going to stop holding parties for his imaginary greatness. He's not great until he DELIVERS, and he's NOT delivering... JUST continually making noise and orchestrating a whole administration of fawning sycophants... ALL of them perfectly happy to keep it up for only three more swiftly-passing years.

As I'm sipping enough coffee to take in all the splendiferous possibilities inhering the notion of decoupling from all these globalist psychopath organizations, I'll be bringing you any tidbits I can dig up on it today.
