What civilization functions without power in 2026, especially without bridges? I disagree with you, but I'm guessing it's best if we just agree to disagree. |
Well Gaza still survives without, err, everything.
But yeah it's semantics, kill the power in any Western country and see how that goes... And in our local town of 2 bridges, 1 is closed now for the summer, it's chaos every rush hour. We're one accident on the other bridge away from civil breakdown lol. They have a temporary fire station (2 parked trucks) on the other side of the river as well now as the FD can't get through either.
Iran has been hit hard and the sad thing of it all is that it will set back social advancement the most in the country. The underground movements for change are / will be hit hardest now the regime has further hardened. Trust is completely gone and no doubt a witch hunt for any US sympathizers is underway. Bombing a country for human rights abuses is only worsening those abuses. But it was never to help the people of Iran anyway, all about American 'interests' in the ME.
And not to forget Lebanon that's way worse off than Iran still, 1/5th of the population displaced, South of the country occupied and demolished. That with US as co-guarantor for the 2024 ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel... And now claiming Lebanon is not part of the deal, which Pakistan confirmed it was.
Anyway it does seem Trump has urged Netanyahu to talk to Lebanon, but as usual Israel will do it under fire
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel wants direct negotiations with Lebanon on disarming Hezbollah and establishing peaceful relations, but said there is no ceasefire currently in place. Lebanese officials say Beirut has not received a formal invitation for talks, with one of them insisting there will be “no negotiations under fire.”
And thus the Strait of Hormuz remains practically closed (to the West) while the real hit to the world economy is starting.
