The Balkans are Europe, and I seem to remember so serious ethnic tension there with relation to religion and sectarian violence. Oh, and the Irish Catholic vs Protestant issues are still around, as evidenced by Northern Ireland's continued existence.

And here we see a perfect reason why the Middile East will never have peace, even under complete Christian rule from Kyber Pass to the Bosphorus and Suez: Christian inter/intra-denominational conflicts will just be the new/old reason people will keep fighting.

There are far, far worse outcomes than this. A couple nukes on a few hardened Iranian military assets, PGMs for the rest, and then the biggest, most comprehensive aid plan since the Marshall Plan, and Iran can get out from under the Ayatollah and IRGC. The Crown Prince of Iran is still alive...

The nuke deal had a lot of haggling over amounts Iran could keep of certain isotopes in their stockpiles. Maybe the hope was to keep Iran from getting enough weapons grade material to make/maintain any thing other than maybe single digit bombs at one time. I heard it through a game of...

I'll be real, the only reason we haven't is because there is worry they already have the bomb, and disguised it as an a NK nuke test. What I was told is that one of the nuke sniffers planes found an anomalous isotope ratio in on of the tests, distinct from the other NK tests, and the US goes to...

https://nypost.com/2024/02/19/world-news/crew-forced-to-abandon-uk-ship-in-devastating-houthi-missile-attack/ So a recent Houthi attack forced a Brit crew to abandon their ship, and it may sink.

Man, if Milie ends up hitting Iran's naval assets before the US does, that's going funny shit.

So Iran want's to play fuck-fuck games in Antarctica by claiming ownership of the continent and possibly breaking the Treaty of Antarctica by openly placing military unit's there.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/iran-capable-building-nuclear-bomb-one-week-report-finds-middle-east-tensions-flare So this is effectively admitting Iran already has nukes, and that DC is trying to slow walk it into US media.

The French, Brits, and Soviets, to different degrees, though the Shia/Sunni split/conflict is also a factor. Breaking up the Ottoman Empire, and then proceeding to find oil right under the feet of some of the most backward fuckers on the planet, gave the Muslim crazies a lot of power the world...

Breakdown of some of current state of the situation. India backing Iran was not what I expected.

The Pakistani's expelled the Iranian Ambassador.

So there was a second wave of Iranian strikes in Pakistan.

I'm not really sure who did this attack, but I will say that people who wanted to gather to mourn Solemani are not some of the people in Iran who would ever want to have better relations with the west. So the more Solemani fans that die, the better, as far as I am concerned.

Nope. If this is true, Iran has effectively declared war on India.

Well, this expands the theater of operation that needs protection by a bit.
