What a fucking mess :-(
I woke up this morning, saw the news about Iran's attacks, and went straight down a rabbit hole of looking up how to try and survive nuclear fallout. Short story is I'm probably fucked. But I'm legit getting a bad feeling about where we are heading.
If you really want to scare/depress yourself, check out the BBC TV movie Threads. It's bleak as hell. Very good though.
Is there any chance all of this circus ends peacefully soon?
Sadly, it seems unlikely - my concern is that right now it seems to be growing arms and legs, with various smaller disputes and conflicts all becoming intermingled. And given the second last point, that's a pretty scary prospect.
- Pakistan housed a terrorist organization on its own soil (and not the first time, either)
Don't worry it won't escalate because Pakistan's COAS is too busy chugging whisky and using his IMF funds to shoot journalists.
India "accidentally" sent a nuclear capable BrahMos missile in 2022 and the army didn't even bat an eye.
