Can someone give me the real reason as to why the region is at war right now? Don't talk to me about this nuclear BS because it was proven to be false

Timing is because bibi and trump are running out of time. For US, they can use their weapons ($$$), trump can use war as an excuse to delay elections, and distract Epstein.

For Bibi, it’s part of their greater Israel agenda, they can expand into Gaza, Lebanon, West Bank whilst everyone is distracted. They want to bring gulf into the war to find excuses for territorial expansion. It is also distraction from Epstein as they’re implicated. It also allows Israel opportunity to destroy parts of the Arab world that they can then reinvest in the future (eg., oh Iran destroyed your airbase, let me rebuild it for you)

Iran’s regime has for decades backed terrorists (e.g. Hamas, hezbollah) across the globe and pursued nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities that a lot of civilized counties view as threats.
After years of stalled diplomacy, gcc and global leaders judged that allowing Iran to move closer to a nuclear weapons threshold would create a far greater danger than the short-term costs of military escalation.

From that perspective, temporary instability for GCC during a conflict is considered a lower risk than the strategic consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran

Iran never expected to export terrorism for decades without reprisal. They knew this was coming and for some sadistic reason either welcomed it or thought they could handle it. Hopefully this war is just a down payment on future peace.

Yes, because history shows that killing innocent people often results in peace

It’s a war of choice. Trump took a gamble to bully Iran into submission to keep the idiot (you know which one) happy and ask for concessions.

His gambles mostly worked (or at least didn’t backfire) in the past - assassination of Soleimani, canceling the previous nuclear deal, bombing nuclear facilities, kidnapping Maduro in Venezuela, etc., but what he didn’t know is that he forced Iran to choose between using their missiles or losing them, thus the loud bangs we hear a few times every day for the past 4 days.

Grand-Strategy / Realpolitik:

Reading list for you to then make up own mind:
Clausewitz - On War
Machiavelli - Il Principe
Kissinger - Diplomacy
Mearsheimer - The Tragedy of Great Power Politics
Freedman - Strategy: A History
Caro - The Power Broker
Nasr - Iran’s Grand Strategy: A Political History.

Probably can ask AI to summarise for you if too busy making slides. But if you do read these, and others of similar vein, it will help.

As much as it may irk some remember:

War is but a tool of statecraft - never the end, only a means.

Thanks K1. Makes sense

In its simplest form, two colonial projects clashing. Israel (Netanyahu) mainly has been itching to go against Iran for years after it got the US to dismantle Iraq so it can be the shotcaller in the region. Donald dumb was the only president to say yes, as it serves him well reducing the noise about his pedo buddies.

Wondering what consulting practices my lawyer friends are in?

Question: can an employer legally withhold your personal possessions after you leave the firm? I left my old firm recently and they were not happy about me joining another consultancy. They are withholding any belongings that I left in the office and have ignored my emails asking to arrange a pick up or delivery of my personal items. I understand the covid19 environment impacts the situation, but anything I can do to get my stuff back? Any help would be appreciated. I’m based in NYC!

Those who read of Mayfield, KY, via Instagram there is a thought experiment being done where longform.org will be given a send-off as Roxanne Aalders will be working with Blurb via blurb.com/bookstore/c-blogs where examining where science and social studies education is often scarce.
