    • becomes martyr at the hands of people he’s said were “the devil” for decades proving his point.
    • Inspires supporters to fight against the existential threat the enemy has proven themselves to be.

      they’re still just a useful punching bag, there’s only so much they can do squirreled away digging oil from deserts in the middle of nowhere

      the funny part is, the West’s enemies best avenue for attack/disruption (*especially the US) is a direct consequence of the mass propaganda they go out of their way to depoly against their own citizenry

      They’ve outright said the CIA was tracking his movements.

      Although, I have a suspicion someone on the inside betrayed him, perhaps after seeing so many protesters slaughtered.
