    Israel might possibly have hit a new low. They targeted the building where the Hamas delegation in peace talks were gathered. That, inevitably, leads to speculation that Israel's commitment to the tal

  • Call me a pessimist but I am still unconvinced this ceasefire/peace process will last longer than the last hostages corpse crossing into Israel. Hamas have made it clear already they will not disarm.

NO. This needed doing. Well done America. Iran cannot be allowed to develop nukes. I bet you Vance would have done the same so careful what you wish for.

Why can Israel and America have them??

No casualties but the US is monitoring this closely and Trump's in the situation room with his top advisers. Most US servicemen were in underground bunkers. If one US servicemen dies you can bet Trump will annhilate Iran.

What could possibly go wrong with that?

The Iranian response was classic saving face for a domestic audience. They have locked down the Internet and telecoms and control the tv. They can domestically project what they want to save face at home while not picking a fight with the US. Feels like a negotiated off ramp they could take to not be seen as weak and embolden internal opposition, letting out some frustration, and also showing the US that they are willing to strike out at their military installations if the us decides to press further.

Seems to have been well received by the moulding kumquat.

Indeed! Major transit hub between east and west (used it myself before). If the whole ME devolves into a confused mess of war I really don't know what the transport industry will do about that.

Strongmen seizing power will doom us all. Netanyahu, Trump, Khamenei, they're all awful despotic leaders whose lusts for power have killed many and will kill yet more before this is all over.

Honestly, much of the travel industry would be overjoyed if the airspace around Qatar and the UAE was suddenly problematic. Emirates, Etihad and Qatar have never made a single cent in profit between them but they’ve absolutely wrecked a lot of the legacy carriers. The tourist money would just migrate to Egypt or Saudi, and the hubs would relocate to either Istanbul or the old kangaroo model of Europe + Asia (eg start airport to Heathrow then Hong Kong or Bangkok or Singapore then onto your destination)

If those three money laundering exercises masquerading as airlines could no longer fly effectively Qantas, Lufthansa, AF-KLM, Turkish, Malaysian, Cathy and Singapore would throw a party (while Trebling their fares overnight).

tr*mp apparently claimed a ceasefire has been brokered only to be refuted by iran oops kink

But yet America, the country who dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, the effects of which are still occurring to this very day, can have them? Make it make sense. 🤓

He could just pick up the phone to Netanyahu if it wasn’t performative IMG_5675.jpeg
