War threatens Gulf's dugongs, turtles and birds

From sea turtles to birds and the gentle dugong, the Persian Gulf's diverse but fragile marine life is threatened by the bombs and oil of the war in the Middle East.

Yanno, if the fucking idiots in the FOTUS’s regime were already either unaware or just simply ignored how much there are Middle Eastern factions that really have no use for the West because of its previous shenanigans in the region going back at least to WW1 and its aftermath, maybe their eyes are opening. Then again, maybe not. Too bad the fuckers don’t do the history thing.

U.S. tells all its embassies to ‘immediately’ review security after strikes — The Washington Post

The State Department order to review security at “ALL posts worldwide” follows persistent attacks on U.S. embassies, with almost 300 reported in Iraq alone.

It's disgusting/depressing/distressing that in all the coverage I've seen on the Iran coverage, I haven't seen a single word said linking the war to energy policy vis a vis the environment. Would we be in the war if we relied more on renewables? Would the rise in our fuel prices be so damaging?

Quite sure we have many rogue states with nuclear weapons at this stage, two of them being the instigators of this conflict. Also, that last part is dangerously close to endorsing violent regime change.
