There is never 0 potential for escalation in a world political context. The question is how realistic it is…

And Pakistan and Iran are not really best buddies. There is also the potential of them attacking each other. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/18/world/iran-pakistan-attacks-tensions-explainer-intl-hnk/index.html

Furthermore: From a few weeks ago, we already know that it doesn’t need Iran for India and Pakistan to attack each other… Last time, it did not end in a world war.

Us getting bogged down in Iran, however, presents other countries with their own windows of opportunity. And the biggest one is China invading Taiwan. China has been saber-rattling and openly planning an invasion of Taiwan, to be done at some point in the next few years. What better time to launch it than when the US has already been depleting their limited weapon stocks in Ukraine, and just got bogged down in Iran?

IMO, there is a lot of conjuntive in it.

For now, there were only bombs on nuclear facilities from the US side… No foot troops getting bogged down. Nothing getting bogged down for now…

You can always imagine how something could link to a word war. That would have already worked for Ukraine. That would have worked with Afghanistan as well.

The question is how realistic it is. I’m not a fan of painting the devil on the wall by declaring WW3 myself on Lemmy and saying goodbye to others…

When China invades Taiwan, that itself has a lot of potential for escalation. Bada Bing. Bada boom. Iran might be completely irrelevant in such a war.

Why do you think they knew beforehand?

Did he wear a “cannibal and proud” shirt?

Doesn’t a world war require someone backing Iran? Or do you mean “the whole world vs Iran”?

Russia is busy, Hamas is not available, Hisbollah is not available, Syria is not interested anymore, Huthis will send a few rockets again…

Can’t wait for GPT in my email client, so that it falls for phishing schemes when I’m relaxing.

The website is annoying AF…

Shows privacy popup in the beginning, after scrolling down some time, the next popup comes… And when you the press the back button on your phone, they overwrite the logic to show one more popup before allowing you to leave.

I mean… Why do you even get the uranium enriched to such high levels if you don’t plan to make use of it?

Even after watching it, I have no idea, what the headline is supposed to mean…

How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money

Poor people usually don’t own/buy/trade bitcoin…

And in case it’s about Blackrock investing the retirement money of the poor… The same video mentions that the Bitcoin ETF is the fastest growing ETF ever…

The first part sounds like an average american experience, not like a dream.

Good job, USA…

When I think about protest in the USA, it’s usually a single person at the side of the road holding up some text written on paper…

But this… This is awesome.

Either we kill our species or we complete an almost impossible task…?

And that’s a reason to give them to 193 other potential crazy leaders, too?

I’m still self hosting Invidious… Watching YouTube videos without ever visiting YouTube…

You want 195 countries to have nukes?

Then, it’s just a matter of time until a bug in some software or a crazy leader that was or wasn’t elected lead to the worst case.

Let’s start a donation campaign for them…

I’m using it for backups. Compared to Dropbox and similar, it’s very cheap

Nothing unusual…

… for a country like Belarus…

Don’t tell Trump… He’d tell on Fox news, you had Diabetes type 9.
