What I'm expecting in the #FIFAWorldWar this week:

The Eid ceasefire in the 2nd of the 3 ongoing wars (Pakistan-Afghanistan) is now over.

As for the *third* war: #DonaldJTrump has promised to bomb the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant after a deadline of just before 6 a.m. EDT, which is effectively Tuesday morning (strictly speaking, the exact time was 23:45 UTC Monday night).

Trump has also promised to send his secret police into all U.S.A. airports on Monday, in place of the unpaid TSA staff.

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.

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.
