Per Alastair Crooke, Trump has once again asked Iran for permission to bomb something inconsequential of theirs so that it looks good on TV and allow them to return the same, and Iran has said no.No mention here that the US and Israel stopped bombing last summer as soon as Russia announced they were prepared to enter the conflict. If this isn’t vacuous bluffing, it will end with another embarrassing defeat and the permanent removal of American military presence from many countriesIran has reached a definitive decision based on two considerations to respond immediately and comprehensively to any U.S. attack, regardless of its level and scope. Such an attack is assessed as an existential threat from Tehran’s perspective At the same time, Iran sent a message to all countries in the region, from Baku to Riyadh, stating that any attack launched from the territory or airspace of these countries will result in an attack on those countries themselves. For Iran, a next US–Israeli attack would be an “existential war”, eliminating any incentive for restraint and unleashing a conflict that would be impossible to control. If catastrophe is to be avoided, Trump must rethink a “surrender-driven strategy” and move toward a “broad, face-saving deal” with Iran - ending 47 years of confrontation before the region is pushed into irreversible war.https://conflictsforum.substack.com/p/irans-strategic-decision-to-restore

@miyagiyoda @ryan For me blocking isn't necessarily spiteful at all, but it's very rarely used, and permanent, whereas muting is often temporary. There are several people I basically like but mute for weeks or months at a time and I like to be able to come back from that without their knowing or taking offense. I will only block an account that is fundamentally of zero value to me, consistently bad faith, or other very specific scenarios. If I simply mute them I will eventually forget who they are and waste time unmuting them and paying for it later

@nicholas @prettygood I always wished there were a way for admins to manage server block lists on a user account level, to curate a default experience during onboarding, but then let each user review and selectively opt out of them in their settings somewhere. That would have been a realistic compromise. Fediblock just made the protocol feel completely broken. I think most of the block-happy types have migrated to Bluesky though, and this is best for everyone

@vandys @CSB The whole Trump op seems to depend on him deliberately keeping his approval rating as low as possible. Otherwise, he'd be forced to do things like actually end wars

@Sovereign @BroDrillard @AsukaNeko @Bunsen @Some_German_Guy @Twoinchdestroya @Paultron There are policy makers in the US who know we lose but want the war anyway, it's a weird kind of evil, murder-suicide kind of desire to invert being or reverse creation. Columbine kids playing the long game who left the gun in the closet at the last minute and got a job in politics instead. The sickest kind of people

@Autumn @R The last time we were in a shooting war with Iran, Russia announced they were prepared to enter the war the second Iran requested them to, and then the US immediately started claiming there was actually a ceasefire already
