Yes from that poll.
I feel at a minimum, China should now be giving Iran access to all the good stuff.
lol I got hit with a 7 day ban on Reddit (in less than a minute) for saying I hope 47% of Israelis get exactly what they deserve.
I’ve become a fan of soccer over the last couple years. One thing I have realized is that when you watch a game - and I mean really watch it closely, not while on your phone or after a few beers - it’s incredibly nerve-wracking. At least half the time, it feels like my team is getting its ass kicked and playing like shit. And then… a few crisp passes, man gets beat 1x1, and then my team is up. Even when my team wins, it never “feels” like they won unless they were playing a clearly inferior team and won 4-0 or something. And years ago I used to watch American football and ice hockey, and I remember feeling similar. Watching things real closely moment by moment, and any negative play feels like a disaster.
All this to say, I think war is no different. We are the first humans to be able to follow war in real time. I’m not sure war is meant to be followed this way. Can you imagine if we lived in the 1940s and could get updates on Barbarossa in real time? I can’t imagine how gut-wrenched that would feel… at least until the tide turned after what, two years?
I am not trying to encourage blind optimism. There are plenty of reasons for negative reactions and feeling to what has transpired so far. War has always given an initial advantage to the side that strikes first, especially when it’s a surprise (even though it shouldn’t have been). This is likely going to be a long war, and the outcome is far from determined, despite the efforts of DC and Tel Aviv to make it seem that way.
I have started to seriously wonder if we should pool our money and do a SETI-like project but we try and find alien comrades who will come and take over and force global communism on us all.
“They can’t keep getting away with it!”
That is the highest rung of the escalation ladder, or second highest if Iran does have nukes. Screwing the global economy could turn everyone against them and get the US heavily involved. Not saying they shouldn’t do it ever, just that that’s something you hold on to at this stage.
