  • ‘conservative’ might be the wrong word but there is a dominant anti-queer attitude in the country. One of my good friends is Han-Malaysian national and describes gay life in even Kuala Lumpur as reminiscent of USA 1970s, but with the upper-class of the gay scene adopting the attitudes and lack of activism of rich, assimilated gays of the contemporary US. In particular, he raised the widespread crackdown against gay men’s spaces over the last year.

    However, he notes that there is more tacit acceptance of proletarian/peasant homosexuality that does not match the western image of gay people.











  • Elaborating on Awoo’s point, it seems like they launch 2-3 interceptors per incoming missile. We can assume that they’ve used at least 50-200 interceptors prior to this in response to Ansarallah targetting critical infrastructure, the Hezbollah rocket attacks, and the previous true promise operations. Already we have seen Iran fire at least 200 missiles. Since the goal up until this point has been 99% interception, that’s at least another 400-600 used up. Even if they received ALL US AD interceptor production for decades, that’s only about 1,000 missiles. Someone has to be wearing thin.
