The are nearer #nuclearwar than ever. And there are only two villains that would start it.

First #Israel, which—in the hands of an ultra-corrupt narcissist nutcase—is most likely to unleash #Samson who killed himself while destroying the temple of Dragon:

And, second, the much more unlikely option that the fascist horror clowns in possession of the #US nuclear codes bumble into blowing up the world, because they can't argue themselves out of an embarrassing defeat.

Israel Has Nuclear Weapons. It May Use Them.

There is little sign that Israel is achieving its war aims against Iran. But Israel is the only state in the region with nuclear weapons — and it may use them if it feels like it has run out of options.

@whitequark This is glorious!

I really dislike using 'TACO' here. It's a poor show that this has caught on as the name for this. Not bombing a nuclear power plant should not be regarded as 'chickening out'.

It is not cowardice. It is refraining from performing an evil act, one that should not have been decided to do in the first place.

@marisa

Just as how the #IranWar being declared the day after the Pakistan-Afghanistan war was declared lead many people to overlook the latter, the events set to happen on Tuesday may well eclipse those of Monday.

There is precedent for a 'TACO', blaming it upon some nebulous behaviour of an allied country and declaring the war over (again). But if not, the world is going to change this week.

You might treat that last as hyperbole, until you read about the incident last week. It's not any kind of exaggeration.

#DonaldJTrump did fact check with the actual U.S.A. military, but his *first* source of information, leading him to believe that the USS Abraham Lincoln was on fire, was a social media video.

How, I wonder, will historians in the years to come judge the damage potential of #AIslop, with this in the record?

Trump claims videos of burning USS ship, Middle East buildings are AI-generated

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on Monday that Iran is using artificial intelligence to spread false propaganda about the ongoing war. Specifically, the President accused Tehran of fabricating fake, AI-generated footage that depicted the USS Abraham Lincoln on fire and falsely showed buildings burning across the Middle East.

I'm treating the future after the highly illegal (under the jus in bello) bombing of a nuclear power plant as too chaotic to be predictable.

The world was very different after Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and those two were *accidents*.

We are facing Hiroshima+Nagasaki levels of change to the world.

Done by, as #HouseOfEl recently observed, a person who posts in all-caps on Truth Social after viewing social media videos.
