I found that the Swedish Gripen had 66% by 2014.

Is Trisa a lib? Yes. Was he wrong when he said that sanctions will not help protesters? No. These sanctions were sold to the public as a way to help regime change in Iran and he was correct in pointing out that it wouldn't.

The same with the analysis that Biden's Gaza policy hurts his chances to win against Trump.

Trista is a Swede/Iranian working in the US. As an foreign policy expert, he is generally critical of the US empire and how stupid its diplomatic efforts are in regards to especially Iran.

I appreciate that he is always factually correct and refrain from spin such as calling Hamas and Hezbollah "terror organizations" which is common elsewhere in the West.

He is also willing to say things we "know" that other "experts" try to avoid. In the above example, he rightly assumes that the assassination was carried out by Israel even though we will likely never have convulsive evidence of that.

When it comes to predictions and the quality of his analysis, he tend to be OK. He often gives personalities and individuals more importance for shaping world events than I'd care for but he is generally pessimistic that the US is going to be successful with its global affairs, diplomatic efforts and wars. I think he's approach to International Relations is from an academic area studies which makes him less dogmatic.

Water needs to be shipped in by trucks. They need electricity for water pumps to have water for showers. You cant drink the tap water in Gaza.

They dont have water because they need electricity to pump it. But technically Israel let water to their pipes.

...there is no military solution to Israel’s problem with Gaza, nor to the resistance that naturally emerges as a response to violent apartheid.

This is not Soviet doctrin. It's more like Hezbolla doctrin. Basically, it is the way you fight if you dont have an airforce and not enough artillary.
