alt Hacker NewsCan't wait for a certain dictator to get a cellmate, so that our Persian and Kurdish friends can have freedom, including free unrestricted internet access.

More likely Asad will get another buddy to play Sounter Strike with - both he and Yanukovich must be bored to death by now in 2 people.
Yes, both Venezuela and (in your hypothetical) Iran would certainly be better and not worse after US intervention. How could they not, with such a great track record (Iraq, Lybia, Chile, Guatemala,...)!
MbS? MbZ?
The Kurdish separatists and militants allied with the wrong country and they have very little chance of a state of their own.
Iranians though, sure, things can change with or without the current govt
Like when the US removed Saddam?
How did that wirk out?
You need more of a plan than just get rid of a dictator.
I'm also curious about LoRA / sneakernet applications. Have those been widely used in cases of censorship?
Sure, a US invasion of Iran would undoubtedly lead to good things. And how can you say the Kurds are friends of the USA (I'm presuming you mean friends of the USA) given how many times they've been abandoned?
Just take a look at what happened to Libya, sometimes removing a "bad person" will cause a far worse situation to evolve. Like literal human slavery.
I will never cease to be amazed at the amnesia that arises when folks in power decide now is a good time to sell a war to the people.
