During WW2 the shah understood that the only way to hold the integrity of the country against soviet ambissions and Britain's thirst for oil was to seduce USA. The plan worked and onwards 1944 Roosevelt started sending financial help and experts to help Iran prop itself up.
USA would use Iran as an example and experiment in pushing its liberal and democractic values countering the soviet model.

Destul de greu sa implementezi ce zice baietasul asta.
Pentru ca statul sa fie de drept , trebuia ca vointa fiecarui cetatean sa se manifeste , astfel incat suveranul reprezinta indivizabil vointa generala a populatiei. Orice forma de guvernamant in care oamenii aleg reprezentati nu mai reprezinta interesul general ci cel particular.
Numai in polis-urile grecesti efectiv toti membrii participau la guvernare.

OSI layers explained like never before ! I finally understood how each layer abstracts over the other and where protocols like Ethernet , Wifi fit in.
The explanation for packet switching opposed to circuit switching in networks similar to how browsers now hold only 1 connection active and multiplex packets from different destinations was marvellous ! Finally grok-ed TCP ! Great stuff here !

In loc sa distruga egalitatea naturala, pactul fundamental, dimpotriva, inlocuieste orice inegalitate fizica, pe care natura a putut-o lasa intre oameni, printr-o egalitate morala si legitima; astfel putand fi inegali ca forta sau inteligenta, toti oamenii devin egali prin conventie si prin drept.

Seems like Pahlavi Reza Shah was quite a hotshot.He pretty much mined the state and propped himself up to full power precipitating Mossadeq's fall.His reign meant heavy industrialization and modernization of Iran(uni-s, hospitals etc) , better living, , brilliant foreign policy making while on the other hand corrpution at an all time high , spying, brutal special police ...etc all the nitty gritty of a dictator.

"In front of a huge audicence i get my nipples pierced with hot needles and get huge rings inserted. Then i go through a ritual of circumcision , ceremonial rape and final sacrifice by disembowelment to some awesome god."

Imagine the woman sharing this is a methodist priest wife and while making love he has no idea the above fantasy gets her off and that she will never be able to share it to him.

Its alrdy solid from the first 5 pages. Got me hooked like a Steinbeck novel.
Starting with 1941 , we get into the early life of Shah Pahlavi and the gonverment and country which was already in turmoil for siding with Hitler. Stalin was already thinking about dismantling Persia.Despite this able statesmen were able to trick him not to do it.

Wow , the things that these females are fantasizing in this book are damn over the roof, they are on par and many even above consacrated content like Literotica.

This book makes you think about literally any woman from your daily life what they could be thinking about.

Some of these fantasies are damn mind bending such as:

- getting prepared as a sexual slave up until 13 years of age to be sold to a wealthy Rajah and please him
- imagining the current boyfriend is the doctor and the sex is actually an appointment. The climax being when he tells her "all blood results are good , you are in perfect shape" (i laughed so much on this one)

After independence from USSR Armenia entered directly in the Karabach war with Azerbaijan. The scarce commodities gave rise to the oligarchs that entrenched themselves deep in the economical and political system , controlling import and export , thus killing any kind of competition , setting monopolies , evading taxes , depriving the state of needed revenue and making it increase VAT on the small businesses.

Fetullah Gulen , a sufi adept of nationalism and soft power promoted between the 90-2013 the expansion of turkish culture through international turkish schools. Together with Erdogan they disposed with mass arrests the Western Kemalist elites as well as the high ranking generals.
After 2010 with no common enemy they turned on each other , Erdogan basically destroying years of pro turkish sentiment in Middle East

Russia instead of using soft power by pouring money in target states , it pours money in target minority regions to keep them close should the need come to exert pressure on the target gonverment. It did and does so succesfully in Abkhazia and Ossetia in Georgia as well as North part of Azerbaijan on the Dagestani minority.

Besides Iran and Turkey
, Russia exerts both soft and hard power in Caucasus as well as former Ussr states.
In Georgia and Azerbaijan it funds separatists youth movements and makes use of the Orthodox church to promote anti LGBT propaganda thus impeding these states to get closer to Western values of liberty.
Armenia on the other hand is a penetrated system , and is totally dependent hosting military bases.

Basically:
Iran held both north and south Azerbaijan.
Russians occupied north and then left , and North became today Azerbaijan.
Now these dudes claim the south too while the south (iranian part) counters this saying North should rejoin Iran.
In time both Tehran and Baku understood that these tensions are not productive and either side annexing the other is futuristic and bilateral relations are more important.

Former IRGC commander rejects Azerbaijan Republic proposals to build a turkish academy in Iranian Azerbaijan.

Iranian azeris counter Azerbaijan claims of an United Azerbaijan (with the Iranian part) by proposing Azerbaijan join Iran like in the past during Persian Rule. Azeris can have a lot of more impact by joining Iran.
As a matter of fact the current supreme leader of Iran , Ali Khamenei is Azeri.

So azeris put aside their historical name which is Aran and name their country Azerbaijan (which is a different region to the south and much bigger belonging to Iran) so that they can later start spreading bullshit and irrendist slogans "United Azerbaijan" , "The southern issue" , pan turkism.
That is how you fabricate history.

There is the land of Aran(current republic of Azerbaijan) and Iranian Azerbaijan (north Iran)
Rep of Azerbaijan has always been part of Persia
1828 Russians take Aran
1918 Emerges the state of Azerbaijan
Iranian azeri dont get why their northern brothers do not use Aran for their new country.
Come 1990 and Rep of Azerbaijan pushes for "United Azerbaijan" , the two regions never having been a united nation

Quite unexpected that Baku is the one pushing irredentist agenda towards Iranian Azeris hoping to create tension and inoculate a view of "United Azerbaijan" even though the territory of Iranian Azerbaijan has never been part of the newer post soviet republic. If former gonverments were directly attacking Tehran , current Aliyev regime has toned down officialy and moved toward sneakyapproach (World Azerbaijani Forum)

Ma fascineaza fragmentele prin care Iulian desfiinteaza crestinismul, ca de exemplu :

"Predicile morale ale galileanului , desi deseori reproduse incoerent, sunt mai presus de critica.El predica cinstea cumpatarea, bunatatea, un fel de ascetism.
Cu alte cuvinte a fost un rabin evreu foarte obisnuit , cu tendinte fariseice. Intr-un fel, el seamana cu Marcus Aurelius. Comparat cu Platon sau Aristotel , este un copil."

Cea mai decadenta scena ever
Intro sala plina cu bucate pe canapele deopotriva eunuci, legionari din garda personala privesc cum baieti si fete sunt aduse in centru. Eunucii sfasie hainele tinerilor si fiecare isi ia cate o pereche baiat fata pe care incepe sa o mangaie peste tot in timp ce perechea trece la amor.
In tot acest timp maretii legionarii romani privesc spectacolul si beau

Galii se mandresc cu serviciul militar fata de italieni care isi taie degetele mari de la maini sa scape de recrutare
Ar fi niste soldati superbi daca nu ar avea doua defecte: nu se impaca cu disciplina militara si sunt betivi.
In cele mai nepotrivite momente, un comandant gal isi poate gasi soldatii cu mintile pierdute din pricina bauturii, sub pretextul ca cutare zi este sfanta si trebuie marcata cu ceva vin sec.

Advices given by Emperor Constantius to young Julian:

- control your generals !
- never let a general hold a senatorial office, a general sent to a province is the subject of the province's governor
- be ruthless with badpayer cities or villages ,they always complain
- give the benefit of the doubt to all tax collectors, they always get away stealing but if we get the biggest part its ok
- control your generals !

The problem in the middle East today is that no country has been able to reinforce nationalism in their citizens. Nationalism guarantees mass indoctrination through education and guarantees the state's legitimacy , therefore the masses accept the rule of the elite (gonverment).
Nationalism was destroyed by US and Israel interventions that caused humiliating defeats (Iraq,Afghanistan) so the states are impotent now.
