It seems like we exited two decades of constant war without learning a single gotdam thing about war.
Going to war with Iran will 1) be incredibly - like, existentially - unpopular in both the US and Europe, 2) cannot result in victory, since Iran is the victim of Israeli aggression and there's no definable *goal* here except "kill Iranians", and 3) will force other powers in the region and the world to take sides.
And not all of them will take the side we think.

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 595 , Saturday 14/06/2025
Saturday started just before 7am.
It’s been another fairly peaceful day, sunny with the occasional shower.
Watched ‘6 Days’ about the storming of the Iranian Embassy in London in 1980 this evening, a decent movie.
Final Thoughts.
Watching the news about the events in the USA & the Middle East I wonder how long our little nook here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire will remain the essentially peaceful & tranquil place it currently is.
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Not a bad day overall thanks, I will be knackered tomorrow but that’s tomorrow’s problem!

Speaking of which, I saw a Mint Mobile ad last night about saving money, and keeping the green for yourself, and the last line was, "the frog was wrong."
And I'm thinking, I wonder what percentage of the audience understands that reference?

Philadelphia police estimate the No Kings demonstration in the city to be over 100,000 people. It's probably more than that because police estimates tend to be low.

in reply to John • • •Iran is not a broken, poor ghetto filled with mostly children. It's not an occupied and disarmed territory. It's not a weak nation State desperate to avoid larger conflict with Israel's sponsors.
You can't make your mission "kill Iranians". Not only is it impossible and profoundly immoral, it's will literally *cause your destruction*.
Going from Tehran to Tel Aviv is like driving from Detroit to NYC. This is not a distant country that can't reach Israel.
