I mean, isn’t this true of almost every technology applied to the workplace, fountain pens beat quills in proficient, typewriters beat fountain pens, PCs beat typewriters, etc.

The Navalists weren’t wrong. They were just annoying. As I tweeted at Konrad, “As someone that agrees with you, I want you to shut the fuck up.”

Were you not on the internet 2000-2010? It was like the Caribbean in the 1680s.

Good on you. However, the real question is: who could have predicted that companied created during the hayday of Torrent files would just grab stuff off of the internet? 😁

It’s not the Kurds we have to worry about. They don’t want any of that. It the Turks fanning Azeri resentment. And come on… a land corridor between Ankara and the Turkic states of Central Asia? Do we really think Erdoğan is not thinking about that?

Neither. 1. There is no unanimity rule. 2. All members are bound to intervene, but the mode of that intervention is left to their decision.

000

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Technically it’s invoked by one member and triggers an obligation for support (will assist). The other members determine what type of response they ‘deem necessary.’ That said, I can’t imagine 🇹🇷 would need any military assistance from us if it decides to hit back.

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Certainly not a large-scale invasion, but securing the border areas it took after the last war with Armenia is possible, especially if Turkey pressures a much weakened Iran.

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

I think that’s where Pahlavi comes in, I think. If the US/Gulf forces can set up an enclave in Bandar Abbās (and I think they can) then he can run a government in exile from there or the UAE. That is liable to shift allegiances.

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

True, my pet peeve is watching if Turkey supports Azerbaijan in a possible push to get some Iranian territory in the north, which is ethnically Azeri. I think this may be Israel’s ultimate goal. The balkanization of 🇮🇷.

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

We are talking about a 6 months period. That’s a blip in economic terms. I’m not saying you can’t damage some profit sharing. But the global system is resilient. In fact many ships went around Africa. Interdicting commerce is a lot more complex especially as your military assets are being destroyed

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

I’m not sure how you got that from my post. The streets are named after people whom the regime finds useful. Germany had plenty of streets made after Horst Wessel. Also, yes, if you use human waves to clear minefields you get lots of ‘Martyrs’

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

I don't thik they'd really care seeing as 80% of their army is made up of mercenaries.

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Every other street in Tehran is named after a martyr because it is a dictatorship. One that had to gun down 30,000+ of its citizens just in December.

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

You only need to take over the straits. That's the key area. The Houthi are, in the grand scheme of things, a pinprick on global trade. Over the years they attacked 178 ships and sunk 4. Global companies won't care.

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

This is why: the PRC without a safe supply of oil from the Persian gulf is toast. Closing the straits was never an option for Iran. Aside from cutting their own revenue to nothing they would upset one of their major ally, possibly the only one now who's actually sending them viable weapons.

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

If Iran tries to close Hormuz the places of the knife and throat will flip very fast. We’ll have Saudi and Emirati forces across under NATO cover in no time.

We found, somewhat surprisingly, that there is a remarkable degree of the convergence between these two groups, notwithstanding the obvious institutional and historical differences. DGs and DMs gravitate towards a relational-administrative managerial style.

001

Andrea Migone @andreamigone.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

But ,we can think of these folks on a matrix of their goals and their managerial approach and try to make sense of their approaches.

We surveyed Deputy Ministers 🇨🇦 and Directors General 🇮🇹 and organized their time in 4 main 'baskets' (Strategic, Administrative, Structural and Relational) based on their answers. Administration (approving & reviewing, anyone?) still drains most of their time.
