This is what Israel is doing to Beirut, Lebanon right now.
The 2 most dangerous men on the planet right now are Netanyahu and Trump.
Full stop.

I had a Compuserve dial-up for so many years! Taught myself how to use the first Macintosh. And oh those floppy discs: it meant we only saved what we needed to save, no more and no less.

Just hung the phone up (yes, talking!) with a friend, addressing exactly this. We want to go back to iPods or Walkmans, landlines and LPs, 3 TV channels with good programming, and a packed-house cinema on the weekends.
She drew the line on shag carpets and flower power wallpaper. Me? Cool.
What are our options? I'm a dual citizen so vote from overseas. My registered state has my party affiliation logged (always asked) so it's in there.
Do we just not bother? Join a class action? Sit on hold with a useless SSA to make a strongly worked complaint?
Where is academia/higher education in this chart?
No AI can lecture nor write as some of us can!
'Boogeyman mullahs': How decades of anti-Iran hysteria set us on the path to war
Very interesting read by Nura Hossainzadeh at San Francisco State University.

They're in for a very rude awakening then.
Iran's been planning this for 40+ years, and the Middle East thinks long term. America can't plan policy for more than a month in advance.
Because Trump is clearly off-the-charts raving mad, I can't help think China, Russia, Iran, and all the other states are thinking of Napoleon Bonaparte: "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
Hearing Parliament reframe this war in real time — 'Iranian attacks in the region' and 'Iranian attacks on the West' — is like living inside Orwell's head.
"Beware the man with nothing to lose".
The new Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei lost his wife, son, father (the last Ayatollah), and mother to the American bomb on the first day of this war.
He's won't fear death. He has rage — as any human would.
And now he's in charge of Iran.
His father, mother, wife, and son were all killed in the first attack.
Beware a man with nothing to lose.
Disagree. MAGA will simply say 'it's worth it to kill Muslims if Trump says so!'.
It is a cult.
Good! We don't want to get involved in this war.
And Tony Blair can just go and F-off.

Trump told CNN Friday that 🇨🇺 “is gonna fall pretty soon...I’m going to put Marco (Rubio) over there and we’ll see how that works out...I’ve been watching it for 50 years, and it’s fallen right into my lap because of me"

Glad @georgemonbiot.bsky.social got a little of the important history of Iran in; it's so essential.
I wrote a 🧵on this here:

This would be me. I'm genuinely concerned because ME politics (inc energy) is my specialty.
And I know this war isn't going to end quickly at _all_. The knock-on effects are going to be 2-3x worse than the 1973 oil shock.
You may like this then too. And let's not even talk about homoeroticism and war...

Very good. I was going to link Zornick's essay on 'war porn' from ~20 years ago but only came up with this, which I think you'll be interested in: www.williamkaizen.com/wp-content/u...
Trump is spiralling out of control fast. Absolute insanity.
And Congress? Silence.
🚨🚨🚨Incredibly disturbing video. Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) joined Capitol Police in violently ejecting a Marine Corps veteran in uniform who protested the war against Iran. You can hear the bone in his arm snap around the 55 second mark.🚨🚨🚨
My god, is this Barbie Klaus demanding people glorify the Dear Leader and report as she tells everyone?
How in god's name does someone in her 20s get to be this hyper-confident in her inability?
This is true. The Iranians (not 'Persians') were as close to agreeing to everything.
Which is why the negotiations were almost certainly a ruse so as to gain final agreement/sign-off by the Ayatollah, who broke from travel to meet his team.
Therein, opportunity to hit pulled off.

I considered them of course. Trump has still bombed more.
All Iran or Russia or anyone else sitting on the fence has to do now, is just sit back and watch Trump exhaust every weapon the US has...

No, but you can bet Iran and Russia are watching and thinking 'we'll just wait until they run out and there's nothing they can do'.
