Is it too early to suggest reviving Project Ploughshare to dig an alternative route to the Hormuz Strait in record time using nuclear explosions?

#Iran and what to make of it

Lying is an art, and #Trump is an artist. But he is an artist of diminishing capacity; and he has now chosen to apply his art to war, a subject he finds appealing but about which he knows nothing except that he likes it.

Iran: das repressive, fragile, undemokratische Mullah-Regime (Statista + Leitkommentar: Was aus dessen Beseitigung nicht folgen muss)

Gaan nu de Amerikaanse kernwapens die niet in Volkel liggen, omgewisseld worden voor Franse? #nuclearweapons #francenuclearweapons
Turns out, 86yo Ali Khomeini issued a Fatwah against the devt or use of #NuclearWeapons as far back as the late 1990s, publicly articulated in 2003 & 2005 in keeping w/Islamic tradition against the devt or use of weapons of mass destruction.

The Fatwah can be altered or circumvented if #Iran is under attack & its existence threatened.

Basically, Trump & #Hegseth have been knowingly conducting themselves in a threatening way guaranteed to goad

Is anyone else sick of living in a reality which is nothing but all the #dystopian #fiction from 50 years ago?
We have #JamesBond villains ( #Musk)
We have #InvasionoftheBodySnatchers zombification ( #MAGA)
Etc, etc.
And now we have #Wargames:
" #AI s can’t stop recommending #nuclear strikes in #war game #simulations
Leading AIs from #OpenAI, #Anthropic and #Google opted to use #nuclearWeapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases"

“Anti-war campaigners have accused the British government of ‘playing down’ its support for an illegal US attack on Iran as American warplanes continue to transit through UK military bases this week on the way to the Middle East”

#AI can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in #wargame simulations
Leading AIs from #OpenAI, #Anthropic and #Google opted to use #nuclearweapons in simulated war games in 95% of cases
The scenarios involved intense international standoffs, including border disputes, competition for scarce resources and existential threats to regime survival.
