Doubt he wanted to die but the system he built is robust enough to withstand this.
Honestly I read him staying in his house as him being 100% prepared and willing to die as the most politically useful tool he had left. If I was 86 and had the option to die as a martyr that would galvanize the revolution, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
So would I in those circumstances. And I'd like to believe he knew what was about to happen and was prepared to be martyred. And maybe he was, but there is a fact that to me really throws a wrench into that narrative. His daughter and toddler granddaughter were also murdered in the attack, if not in the exact same strike (though possibly, I am not sure), then in a simultaneous one. It seems like if he were so certain that it was nearly inevitable that he would be martyred in these or some other strikes, he would have made sure his family was more protected while only he remained in a vulnerable position.
Whether he knew and was ready or not, I don't think his daughter and purely innocent granddaughter were ready and willing, and obviously he did not wish this for them. Which is why the whole thing about people trying to make it more... acceptable, or not as bad, that he was martyred this way, since he was ready will never sit right with me.
I can confirm: here's a video with a speech from from him saying just that: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=lyOnWWB3B9U (the speech is at 15:34, though I recommend the whole video, it's pretty good)
Doubt he wanted to die
I mean yeah but the odds were soon anyway
Great man theory is a hell of a drug
How the US murdered 156 children in 12 minutes.
If there is one thing I despise, it is the people who think they are the world expert on a topic, like another nation and its leadership, when they only learnt about them 2 weeks ago and couldn't point to them on a map, or spell the name of the person they are talking about, while the name is prominently displayed on the news in front of them.
These guys think real countries are like a side in a chess game where you win if you kill/capture the leader. Iran still exists. Venezuela still exists.
Actually, now that I think about it, these adult twelve year olds aren't thinking of chess, they're thinking of superhero slop where beating the bad guy magically makes his entire army disappear.
Because everyone knows war works exactly like chess.
that guy was a grunt right? i'd consider listening to him about the new stupid rifle procurement or maybe small or medium unit tactics at the most, and only in a survey of other grunts.
"I was a footsoldier for the empire and now I'm an expert in geopolitics" is one of my favorite types of guys
Cappy Army? More like Crappy Army!
The liberal amnesia spell is gonna have to work overtime when Iran will still be firing missiles at Israel a month from now.
