Lasting peace is an illusion
it’s called dielectric mirror, this type of mirror can be made to be extremely effective over narrow range of wavelengths and it’s used in lasers for this reason. this is also the only way to manipulate extreme UV (13nm tin source, used in EUV semiconductor manufacturing)
similar effect is responsible for blue color of some butterflies and feathers that don’t contain blue pigment

there were reports of NK combat engineers to be deployed in russian rear areas, Perun mentions this in last video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTXwmcIfY0Y

Shah was a piece of shit, but i’m pretty sure lotrorc is about removal of prime minister Mossadegh from power. That definitely didn’t make things better
