Empathy matters. We need to see that Iranian service men are no different than US ones. Just regular good people doing a job to have a life and family. There's no need for all the military ops the US has done. They just create suffering and rarely achieve goals.

I have read their reports where Ukraine gets hit, and they handled and reported them totally differently.

"They don't have the manpower to get her out," the woman says. Here they needed to clarify this is because of the shear volume and number of attacks - making it impossible for Iran to respond.

Glad the BBC is reporting this. This war is just harming the Iranian people. Long term too as infrastructure is hit and the regime will focus on building up more drones and missiles. They will also use it as an excuse to crack down more on people who may organise a coup.

Trump’s numbers among all Americans, including Republicans, are going to fritter away if he puts ground troops in…If he doesn't want the fate of George W. Bush, he needs to find a way to turn it around. @RStatecraft responsiblestatecraft.org/boots-on-the-g…

@EdKrassen @TXFartingsworth Iran has defended limited hotel strikes causing a low number of casualties as targetting US personnel believed to be present there. This is nothing, a drop in the ocean compared to what US and Israel have done in recent wars and bombings.

@EdKrassen @TXFartingsworth Plus Iran is targeting mostly military targets. Embassies targetted are US/Israeli, after and in response to the US doing all it can to take down any Iranian officials linked to the regime, with zero regards for innocents 'in the way'. They even bomb pro regime protests.

This is a great example of a terrible headline from @nytimes, which avoids all the useful information.

A US ground invasion faces potential HUGE losses! Iran has been building FPV drones for years. And training many troops to use them well for two years. Like UKR they get the drone from China and simply add explosives! RUS innovated with fibre optics. youtube.com/watch?v=ETeA07…

@Scotonline1 Indeed. The whole elite system has installed people who take the view we have enemies and it's important to spend on defense. As @DanielLDavis1 said, 'they replicate themselves' - only hire like-minded people. It happened over many decades as MIC money was showered on elites.

@Cotic It’s called statesmanship. Not a lot of it about.

It's not soft to end endless wars and sides fearful of each other buying ever more weapons in arms races. True realism involves seeing that even enemies can be brought round over time. Just by being nice and playing fair towards them. The act of swallow pride for win/win.

@ClarkeMicah That way, we allow people to have fun, but keep the public roads and cycle paths super safe. It's important to feel safe as you go about your business, and a few spoil that for everyone. I bet China will show the world how it is done and hopefully we copy (a trend!).

@ClarkeMicah We can push for a better tech solution. It would hardly cost anything to add a gps and processor to force speed based on position, so could even force them to slow down on corners. This would be good for cars too. I think more public bikeparks and racing circuits needed.

Machines such as this can now be used freely on cycle lanes designed and built for pushbikes. This is a huge backward step, after decades of campaigns for segregation of muscle-powered bikes from engine-powered vehicles.

@ClarkeMicah They are supposed to be limited for speed. But the manufacturers make it super easy to deregulate them. As a regular cyclist I get frights on cycle paths or roads as these things skim past me without warning.

@RealChaosOrder @ClarkeMicah It's easy BTW to call people who stand up to wars "pussies", when you are not going to be involved in the fallout and suffering these wars involve. Isreal is short of recruits BTW, you are most welcome to go and volunteer to fight for your cause.

@RealChaosOrder @ClarkeMicah It's clear you are a supporter of Israel and their actions, feeling they are fully justified. I asked Grok about your stance.

This is ridiculous. The frontline barely moves, thousands continue to die. The $billions of aid from UK, EU & US have only prolonged the conflict & reduced our own fighting power. When, inevitably, a peace deal is struck, it will be worse for Kyiv than it could have been in 2022.

Yep. Dems got us into the Ukraine war, Republicans the Iran war. In both cases peace talks were promising and progressing, then stopped with US involement. Common demoninator is the MIC war lobby - massive party donations and revolving door opportunities for politicians.

UNPOPULAR TAKE: Neither Kamala nor Biden would have gotten us into Iran. EVEN MORE UNPOPULAR TAKE: they absolutely would have had us in a shooting war with Russia by now. Whoever wins. We lose. Total political reset along Thomas Massie-Ro Khanna lines is needed.
