What are you talking about? NK was bombed by the US in the past. Also did Syria also have oil?


Yeah and...? It's been almost 75 years since the Korean War Armistice. Vietnam was more recent and we don't see Vietnam testing ICBMs over the South China Sea, just in case.

Let's not forget, Trump is the only sitting President to visit North Korea, so they likely have less concern of getting bombed/raided than at any point in their past.


Because the world is a more level playing field compared to a few decades ago. The US and the west don’t have the means or power to dictate terms all across the globe. They need to pick their battles wisely.


Trump ran as an anti war, small budget candidate. His second term has been the most brazen scam.

US foreign policy is dictated by Israel at this point. You thought it was only the middle east part but US has been relocating all weapon systems from the allies all around the world only to protect Israel.


Wait what? Ukraine hasn't had elections since 2019. Also do you genuinely believe that the power play in geopolitics is about "spreading democracy" ?


My read: managing bureaucracy is a boring job esp. if you’re financially in a good spot.

Some think Gemini is falling behind in benchmarks so there was a shakeup at the top. I don’t agree with it.

That said, winning this LLM race is difficult given the number of talented people working on it across the world.


Syria project was to topple a secular Iran allied government with any other alternative which ended up being ISIS because Israel wanted it and they control the government, mainstream media and have passed laws at state and federal levels so you can’t even criticize them


Doesn’t matter. Once bombs start hitting next to you, you rally around the flag


No, Iran started helping the US against Taliban only to be put on the axis of evil list by Bush. Signed a deal with the US only to be torn and Trump placed maximum pressure.

US foreign policy in the Middle East is run by Israel.

Iran is foolish to have not yet built their nuke.


You somehow blame Iran for a war Israel started, twice. Do you even believe what you’re spreading?


HN really should cut people who actually live the Middle East a little slack when it comes to comments about the Middle East. They seem to be the first to be downvoted off the site.

It's turning into my pet peeve: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47196380


Iran started the war by three of its proxies attacking Israel for over two years. That's called FAFO.


40K death is fake news. Iran hitting their own school is fake news. Stop spreading lies. Can’t tell if it’s out of malice or ignorance though
