Roll for Analysis Instagram video transcription:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n On Today\u2019s roll for analysis, <\/p>\n\n\n\n The theory may cause anxiousness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regional actors,<\/p>\n\n\n\n West Asian factors, <\/p>\n\n\n\n And Poetry versus political-mental paralysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n There once was a religion called Islam,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shia and Sunni, neither is wrong,<\/p>\n\n\n\n But still they fight<\/p>\n\n\n\n To the citizen\u2019s plight,<\/p>\n\n\n\n A divide, 14 centuries long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/p>\n\n\n\n In February faced uproar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n USA killed the Ayatollah <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to inside CIA moles.. uh\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump\u2019s demise was then called for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n So\u2026 In Structural Realism,<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s some anarchic statism, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not due to human nature,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nor the written legislature, <\/p>\n\n\n\n But thanks to vacuums & pragmatism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Iran\u2019s sudden absence of authority <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lasted a week, their top priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The third leader supreme<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entered the regime <\/p>\n\n\n\n On day 8 of the war exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nearly half a year later, <\/p>\n\n\n\n With ceasefires on paper, <\/p>\n\n\n\n The conflict continues<\/p>\n\n\n\n Near the strait of Hormuz, <\/p>\n\n\n\n But it\u2019s hard to see any peacemakers\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aggression, Attacks, thousands dead <\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the Realist filter, that\u2019s how you get ahead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Missiles for offense,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drones for defense,<\/p>\n\n\n\n But these seas have turned a different kind of red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n All the news reports are much too solemn,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, Religion shouldn\u2019t even be a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Money, tariffs, trade, and oil, <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s what makes politicians\u2019 blood boil,<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this story can we know yet if we\u2019ve passed rock bottom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This week, warnings were sent by the IRGC <\/p>\n\n\n\n Advising ships to turn back to the sea<\/p>\n\n\n\n Citing the Qur\u2019an <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the waters off Oman<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is now under the rule of Iran\u2019s Khameini\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n All this political and religious complexity <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Middle East\u2019s present and past history, <\/p>\n\n\n\n We try to understand<\/p>\n\n\n\n But still see it as an \u2018other\u2019 land, <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s internationally labeled \u2018semi-periphery\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Supporting the west is considered a sin<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cooperation councils are wearing thin<\/p>\n\n\n\n International law <\/p>\n\n\n\n Is at a draw <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the veto powers reside within\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Structural Realism, you see <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vacuums of power is how it has to be, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Relations whether multipolar or bi <\/p>\n\n\n\n The spread of power is like a pie, <\/p>\n\n\n\n And it seems like the nations may never agree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other theories may say cooperation is key,<\/p>\n\n\n\n But that can\u2019t be defined <\/p>\n\n\n\n With good faith in decline <\/p>\n\n\n\n And no overarching authority, <\/p>\n\n\n\n This Anarchy makes it quite hard to find<\/p>\n\n\n\n A coherent system for the people who just want to be free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you all for watching this <\/p>\n\n\n\n Poetic and Randomized analysis <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the bio there are links<\/p>\n\n\n\n That may help you think <\/p>\n\n\n\n Through this theoretical internationalist\u2019s abyss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Description & Comment:)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upping the chaos for the fun of the game, <\/p>\n\n\n\n The dice delivered immediately, I\u2019m no longer sane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With no AI, <\/p>\n\n\n\n To make me cry, <\/p>\n\n\n\n This episode was much a challenge for my brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This week is the funeral for the ayatollah\u2019s death<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Mexico\u2019s futbol skills are put to the test <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026What a weird contrast <\/p>\n\n\n\n Only a day, won\u2019t long last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Especially today: Sports and Politics, neither will rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Though a limerick classically <\/p>\n\n\n\n Has a format quite exactly <\/p>\n\n\n\n A A B B A<\/p>\n\n\n\n Syllables at bay,<\/p>\n\n\n\n English majors don\u2019t come at me.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n The topics here are quite debatable, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many actors could be blamable,<\/p>\n\n\n\n So here in the comments,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please be kind, no nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together we can find how this world is changeable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Links and transcription of the Roll for Analysis episode 5 on Instagram @QRPascal .
