Silly to suggest a 3rd term for Trump is in some way increased by conflict escalation…
…a meaningful part of the strange coalition that won Trump the most votes in presidential history (214,000,000+ across 3 elections) thought they were voting for an anti-war candidate…
…apparently not.
If you tune into the Manosphere (podcasts/Youtube), many of the most prominent (ie. Tucker) are vehemently opposed to the attack.
This is post-modernism skepticism of anybody's ability to claim to know anything, that knowledge itself is just a political contingency, and everything is an expression of ‘power.’
The term “accelerationist” just does not work for me. I understand it as “pouring gas on the flames.” Or maybe, “ratcheting-up confrontation.” Substantively, it seems accurate but …
Bombing Iran’s nuclear program might feel like a solution, but it can actually speed things up. Attacks push Iran to rebuild with more secrecy and urgency, often underground. It also kills diplomacy—no inspectors, no limits. Instead of stopping the program, it hardens Iran’s resolve to get a bomb as a deterrent. History shows this kind of move usually backfires. The US effectively shredded the NPT and proves that only having a bomb protects one from these types of strikes.
No they were not. For over a decade the intelligence community has said Iran keeps stockpiles to use as leverage but had no plans to build a bomb. Intelligence assessments are not fact, but it’s the based on all the intelligence and information the US has at hand.
So the solution is to kill everyone with a Doctorate in nuclear physics in Iran? What a genius plan! Thank you for bestowing this gift upon the world!
But seriously, why can't you psychopaths go play with toys or something when you're bored instead of advocating for mass murder and/or possible nuclear annihilation. It would save everyone else a lot of trouble.

How would bombing Irans nuclear program to smithereens accelerate it? What am I missing?

Can you actually cite a historical parallel where this happened?
Iraq '81, arguably Israel '67
you can’t bomb knowledge to smithreens numbskull, more than likely iran will now do everything within its power to acquire a nuke
They were already doing that
No they were not. For over a decade the intelligence community has said Iran keeps stockpiles to use as leverage but had no plans to build a bomb. Intelligence assessments are not fact, but it’s the based on all the intelligence and information the US has at hand.
It’s my understanding that they’d managed to enrich Uranium to near weapons grade and were very short of a delivery mechanism
That's been the claim since 1979.
Nope
I don’t know what you’d call their program then.
Ya know there’s this invention called pens and paper and even computers and servers in which knowledge is stored. 🙄
Also we should take the zios marking their own homework with some skepticism.
Not sure where the hostility and sarcasm are coming from, but neither are warranted
Oh wait. I just saw your reference to “zios”. Now I know I can ignore you. Thanks for the tell!
And pretty sure Israel bombed the top 15 scientists in Iran too. So you can bomb knowledge.
