Russia and Ukraine are two butch lesbians fighting over a condom

It's my opinion that strategic ambiguity - ie, not knowing what the hell you want - can work if you're the monopole hegemon. It's up to the people you're messing with to come to you with an offer that gets you to stop. The bull in the china shop may not know why he's inside, but the shopkeeper definitely has an interest in leading him out. Not that any of this is well-considered or wise, but the question of 'what are we doing here?' can be answered by 'I don't know, but we're sure to find out if we break enough plates.'

So as long as I see feminists being fellow travellers for Hamas and for Iran, for Pakistani grooming gangs and Moroccan pickpockets, for shooters at the Bataclan and truck drivers at Christmas markets - it is a distinction without a difference. I have never heard a mea culpa from a feminist, about the Southport stabbings at a Taylor Swift concert. Even when girls are being killed and raped, they don't care because their overgrown mothering instinct sees brown people as babies who don't know what they're doing.
It's frankly insulting that you think that wordcel games like even matter in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary.
It's always 'but think on how it will affect the poor, innocent Muslims'. Norm Macdonald parodied this attitude thirty years ago, and your posture is exactly the thing he skewered. I don't know if you know this, but 'moderate' Islam is a spook. 'fundamentalist' Islam is just Islam, a liberal cope. We know it from the Muslims themselves that there is only one correct interpretation of the Quran and the Sunnah. The fact that feminists uncritically swallow lies about this is proof that no one should take them seriously.
Persian exiles and expatriates are overrepresented in academia in the West. They're an ancient culture-civilization dating back to antiquity, of which courtly culture has been exported to both Ottoman and Mughal empires. They got through colonialism without the humiliation of direct annexation and build drones and run nuclear reactors despite pretty severe sanctions. I don't doubt their IQ.
The main factor holding them back is geopolitics: mountainous nations have a hard time centralizing. Since the days of Alexander Persia has always been more of a coalition of culturally-associated governates and with the decapitation of Iran's leadership, the country is essentially now being run by provincial IRGC warlords. And being a warlord doesn't necessarily select for intellect. Their elites may be dumber than the people they're oppressing.
