I wonder what's stranger. That they think Trump will care about OpenAI's datacenter in Abu Dhabi, or that we're getting this news from tomshardware.com

He may care in the end, because TACO. Looks like this is a pattern of modern war where both sides are testing the escalation levels by attacking the infrastructure. It‘s like MAD, but going up in smaller increments rather than hitting with everything after one or two limited strikes like nuclear. Basically, you hit my power plant, I‘ll hit yours. It‘s the same path Ukraine went on: they initially showed restraint in…

Indeed. Tit for tat is well known to be an effective strategy. It's almost guaranteed to create one side that feels weaker than the other, while giving that party a way out.

As an American citizen my concern is the American regime shooting American citizens. I'm not Iranian and I'm not there, but I'm here where ICE can "unintentionally" shot me. And bringing numbers to make them look bad and justify the war doesn't help, because Israel killed much more in Gaza with the help of US government and corporations. Let's compare both them?

Plus, if these people even remotely cared about what's happening in the US, this is not what they'd be talking about. They want to support Iranian repression for their "pride". If anything, they want the US, long term, to become a dictatorial hellhole like Iran.

Do you work in arms industry? Because unless you are the arms industry, wasting almost 1 billion dollars per day fighting a war that has nothing to do with us does not seem like "going pretty damn well"

Check their comment history. This account is either trolling or just spouting talking points, it is getting pretty tiring. They can't even be bothered to properly cut-and-paste, see the missing 'I' at the beginning of the comment above.

Seems pretty easy to me to just stop the war to end this sort of stuff. But I must be missing something.

We are in a really bad situation, of our own making no doubt. We actually have no idea who's in charge of Iran (the stated ruler has yet to be seen and probably was severely injured in the same blast that killed Khamenei), but it's a pretty good bet that they are even more extreme and hard-line than before. We've shown that Iran has complete and total control over the global economy via energy markets. Every other co…

> To everyone who voted for Trump ... YOU VOTED FOR THIS. THANKS.

You might have not voted for Trump, but you sure agree with him on that "finish the job". So... thanks?

> If we back down now, Iran wins...

How about some radical change and we just let them win and negotiate some better deal for us?

> by choosing the same civilian targets not sure what the point of this propaganda is? ukraine doesn't shoot rockets at appartments. hitting (dual use) energy infrastructure is a completely different level then targeting civilian homes.

Nobody except Israel is setting civilian homes as targets for their rockets. Not all energy infrastructure is even remotely „dual use“ (and this label is itself propaganda used to justify strikes on non-military targets).

All Russian infrastructure of all types would be perfectly safe tomorrow if they just stopped brutally invading their neighbors. Let's be plain and clear here: the Russian moral position lies somewhere 10 miles below the floor of the deepest ocean trench. The moral high road is pretty easy to achieve.

Just like ICE killing american citizens? Yeah, what's the problem with that?

Problem is you can't say the same out loud in Iran without risking your life.

Huh?? You are replying to a comment about a Free Speaker who was murdered point blank on a US street for protecting another Free Speaker who was being pepper sprayed for exercising their Free Speech!

I don‘t think „moral high roads“ have any relevance in context of this discussion. If such conversation triggers you, try to breathe and think why first.
