If (or rather when) trump chickens out, it will be a triumph of democracy, even if a bitter one. C.f. #iran where elites seems to be willing to sacrifice the whole nation just for a chance of regime survival.

Physics is not the only science there. 20 min episode on science and war and not even mentioned the bargaining theory of war.
War Is A Bad Idea

And Iran might got scared enough by the possibility of China's approval, and decide to yield. Not a given of course, but definitely a possibility.
The choice for China would be between US invading Iran bounded by UNSC resolution, and US doing that bounded by tramp's morality (i.e. nothing.)
China would have strong incentive to agree but impose as many conditions as possible. 2/2

Interestingly enough it's not true, they even had a non-zero chance to get China's approval to deal with #Iran. That's the usual power struggle in UNSC - the choice was not between US invading Iran and US not invading Iran. 1/2

Because massacring your own citizens is a sovereign right of every government. Right?
Come on, that's not how it works. You can't just rip a page from a book.
MarmariYou have no idea how hard it is to be an Iranian right now: to care for your country and its people, and at the same time see your people wishing this stupid war finally put an end on the current dictatorship in #Iran. We're still grieving over our children who were shot on the streets. Soon there's gonna be more deaths, more cruelty, more bloodshed.
