And 2 days ago: https://www.turkiyetoday.com/region/kuwait-power-desalination-plant-damaged-in-attack-3217401?s=1 > Kuwait power, desalination plant damaged in attack It's hard to be optimistic about a de-escalation of the war in the coming days.

They dropped bombs on the guy leading back channel negotiations with Pakistan. Killed his wife in the attack. Kamal Kharazi is his name. Back in mid march they killed Ali Larijani, a lead nuclear negotiator considered pragmatic. Also in March was Ali Shamkhani. He was the lead negotiator for the 2023 normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia. They killed Khamenei at a meeting with senior leadership where the topic was finalization of their negotiations response. Actions show they have no desire to de-escalate. Quite the opposite actually.

> Back in mid march they killed Ali Larijani, a lead nuclear negotiator considered pragmatic I'm not sure I would call him "pragmatic" if he was responsible for the crackdown of protests in January. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Larijani#2026_suppression_of_protests > Although often characterized as a "pragmatic conservative" in foreign policy, Larijani adopted a hardline domestic stance, reportedly modeling the regime's security response on the "Tiananmen Square" method of overwhelming force > Larijani was among the first senior officials to publicly advocate for the use of lethal force against demonstrators, labeling them "armed terrorist networks." > Human rights organizations reported that the SNSC, under Larijani's coordination, authorized the use of military-grade weaponry and live ammunition, leading to the deadliest wave of repression in the history of the Islamic Republic _ > They killed Khamenei at a meeting with senior leadership where the topic was finalization of their negotiations response. Actions show they have no desire to de-escalate. Well they started a war so obviously it escalated, the thing is usually there is a de-escalation at some point. IDK if it's true but it seems they asked for a ceasefire which was refused so I guess now they want it to de-escalate. I understood that Iran doesn't want that, but at some point a de-escalation will be needed anyway. Whether it's in 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 1 year etc. the sooner the better for everyone, clearly. I think it's the same thing in all wars, otherwise the goal is just to continue them forever.

Iran has >90m population. Societal collapsed would be catastrophic for the entire of Eurasia. They ripple effects would be felt over generations.

SuperRockyHobbyHorse 5 days ago +55
It's quite scary because if Trump and the Americans do actually commit the war crime of the century on Tuesday and cause full societal collapse for 90m people, then it's quite possible the remnants of the IRGC will destroy all the desalination plants on the Gulf coast (and maybe they will be able to reach Israel's). That's 100m+ people (including the migrant workers) who in the space of a month will find themselves in the middle of the desert with no water. All those people are going to head for Egypt, Iraq and mostly Turkey to try and get into Europe. All for no good reason other than Trump's schizo boomerism.

Were they attacking desalination plants a few months ago? This could have all been averted if Israel and USA didn't attack Iran. Doesn't change the fact that desalination plants shouldn't be attacked right now.

The US should do the same and being in a dominant position should be the ones to lead by example, diplomacy had been on the table until it was removed by the US administration. Many of the recent demands by tweet are for the things we had a prior agreement for, an agreement created by the same admin no less. This rhetoric stopped fooling people before Vietnam and it fools fewer each day.

Yes, because Israeli force in Gaza since 1946 has been a great success leading to less tensions and violence in the region. Both are terrible war strategies, as neither lead to resolution or a lasting peace. Just more resentment and hate.

Well I clearly hope it won't happen, but I also think it's the most likely outcome. But not by far, like they are negotiating I think, and they still haven't destroyed everything while they could have done it Day 1. It's maybe 60/40 things will go the wrong way. It has already started a bit.

I'm from Australia and live in that state responsible for 90% of the countries exports of wheat, barley, canola and other cereals and grains that feeds hundreds of millions of people. None of our farmers can get enough diesel to plant their full crop and even if they could not only has diesel doubled in price none of them can get urea to fertilize the crop and even if they could it's doubled in price so they are planting less than expected. Keep in mind 50% of the worlds urea is made in Qatar and their urea plant just got bombed, furthermore China has banned exports of urea... The other breadbasket is Ukraine, need I say more. I don't really like to be alarmist but next year is gonna be interesting when harvest is due.

The two staples wheat and rice are basically half the price they were a few years ago. Carry over stocks of wheat are supposed to increase by 6 percent. If there was even a hint of a shortage lots of acres would move to wheat and rice but there is no indication of that happening.

Other presidents called me and, with tears in their eyes, said "I wish I could have nuked as much as you" and they were big nukes too, some say the biggest there will ever be and I used them, I said, give me the biggest nukes you've got and they said 'yes sir, God bless you sir, would you sign the little code card I had to break open to annihilate millions of human lives, and I said "Where's my sharpie?"

Trump wanted to nuke hurricanes during his first term and create an alligator moat at the border. Of course they've talked about it, it was likely among the first options they discussed and talked him down from.

The government of Iran is willing to kill their own citizens who disagree with them, by the thousands. They don't care about bombings. And they probably don't worry about a ground invasion because if anything that would improve their situation. If Trump lands troops there it's going to be a disaster.

whyuhavtobemad 5 days ago +2
what about threat of nukes?

nolok 5 days ago +15
And what are they going to nuke? What would it change for Iran (more exactly their leadership and current command structure) Because it would annihilate the US standing (which is already quite fucked), trigger a nuke race for every countries, but it wouldn't change anything about the state Iran is in or what they are doing. Everything major has already been bombed except civilian infrastructure, that's why he's threatening power plant and bridges now. There is no big target to aim with a nuke, except to kill millions of civilians at once but again, no change for Iran's gov, ruinous for the US. I'm not saying he will never do that because he's demented and seems intent on destroying the US, but the comment was about Iran not pushing it too far, which means their gov, and from their pov there is only two ends the US leave or it's a disaster until that gov is destroyed and the US is ruined. That's why they're refusing ceasefire and anything other than get out.

Bombing the power stations is the equivalent of dropping nukes. It's actually even worse because it destroys the whole of society at once and by a cascade of hungry, thirsty, desperate people destroying themselves from within. Probably kinder just to drop the nukes and put people out of their misery than starving them to death over days and weeks.

US could tactical nuke all of Iranian missile cities to prevent them from being dug up or repaired, itd eliminate their missile capability then the US could also nuke their oil island to prevent future iranian economic strength in case theres no regime change (to prevent military spending) and then tactical nuke all of Irans known nuclear capability to prevent future progress

People still believing the 45+ year-old fearmongering narrative I see. They dust that off every 10 years or so to scare Americans into supporting more wars in the Middle East. It makes no sense that IF Iran makes a nuclear weapon that they will fanatically drop it on Tel Aviv, guaranteeing national suicide and millions of Iranian deaths as a result of the response that would follow. Not to mention the many more deaths caused by radioactive fallout as the winds carry it onto other Middle Eastern countries populated by Muslims. Iran's theocratic leadership is many things, but stupid isn't one of them. Iran is a nation of 90+ million people. "Let's just nuke 'em." Yeah that's a statement coming from someone who's seen too many Hollywood movies.

This makes no sense. The first two would serve no purpose that they couldn't do with conventional bombs. In fact they already did the first, what's left is small assets spread out all over. And they don't do the second one because they want to seize it they even said it out loud. And the third one is underground, a nuke wouldn't do anything you need a deep bunker buster and they already did that last summer. And that's not even talking about the fact that if they do that, Kiev is nuked within the hour.

And all this caused by two men that will not experience the same reality we will live in and will gladly send young people to die in a war that should never had happened. Really sucks.

Almost 40% of US adults approve of Trump based on the most recent polls. It’s absolutely staggering that he is the least popular US president of all time, and also that nearly 40% think he’s doing a good job. The last 50 years since Nixon resigned led to a campaign for the rich to erode education via a propaganda campaign. It really took off when they realized that instead of doing it like a religion, they needed to join up with the most conservative religious groups in the country. And now the majority of us are complete f****** idiots.

Sadly most countries have fanatics who will never use their brains again after they decided on a party. I can see so many errors in all my country's parties too. One is almost good except it has wishful thinking and just want us to make energy from nothing like plants. The other is good, but is weighed down by the fact they need radicals to rule. The opposition is now lead by a racist party and they are all aligning more with the racism to please the largest party on their side. So yeah, world's in a great place.
