Has there ever been even the slightest indication of that? The Muslim world has had 70 years to fight Israel, and when someone tried, nobody was helping. I admit I don’t have much understanding of the politics of the middle east, but it seems to be a very far fetched speculation.

Under the current circumstances I wouldn’t dream of setting foot there, even if I was invited.

Maga shithawks jump on the conflict

If USA attack Iran together with Israel, Iran doesn’t stand a chance. It will be a very short war like when USA invaded Iraq.

Escalation spreads to Iraq

There is no logical path for that.

Russia leans in heavily

Russian military is a joke now, they have their hands more than full in Ukraine.

The E.U. steps in under the guise of defence

That doesn’t make much sense, but let’s say there is a “whatever” reason. That would just make the defeat of Iran even quicker.

Ukraine gets more intense as China assists Russia more openly

China has kept it’s distance from the conflict, and I don’t think China wants to actively increase instability in a world where they are making so much progress. Instability is bad for business. The way China has behaved NOT helping Russia much for 3 years, shows they would much rather participate in deescalation.

While things are peaking elsewhere, the PRC makes a move on Taiwan.

This is probably your best point IMO, but as I see it, China has to wait at least 5 more likely 10, until China has independent chip production that at a minimum matches Taiwan and the west. At this point in time, an invasion of Taiwan would be very disruptive to many of the industries that are most important to China.
Even then it’s a very big question if China thinks it’s worth the enormous diplomatic crisis that would follow.

So all in all, I don’t really see your thought experiment having much risk of leading to a world war.
Even though other scenarios might exist, I don’t really see that as a risk we should worry too much about.
Putin going even more crazy and using nukes is probably the biggest danger the world is facing ATM. Gaza is next to irrelevant by comparison.
But I suspect if Putin uses nukes, many of his allies will abandon him. And he will become a valid target for the entire world, and the Russian federation will not be allowed to survive.

Sadly yes.

I agree that there are problems with Islam extremists, just as there are problems with other extremists. But obviously we should not solve the problem by becoming the problem ourselves. In Gaza Israel is the extremist, and it is insane that Israel is allowed to control it like it was some sort of criminal ghetto prison.
As I see it, Israel is a failed experiment, and the countries behind it need to step in and resolve the situation and at a minimum stop further Israeli settlements.

I agree, also because USA is alienating allies, and this clearly emboldens China, Russia and Iran.
But this will hurt USA too, and Trump will hopefully declare victory soon and end it.

IDK why Israel is getting off so easy, there is clearly moral opposition to it, but nobody is doing anything?

That’s a cool car IMO, but personally we want something with better range.
It is quite impressive in efficiency though 13.1 kWh/100 km. And it is decent for fast charging.

To talk about the Gaza conflict in the context of a world war is ridiculous.
Yes the human atrocities are enormous, and the moral sickness equals Nazi Germany. But it is not part of a “world war”.
Yes there are many conflicts around the world ATM. But many separate conflicts do not equal a world war.
And no we are not already in a world war.

Nah it’s not too old, 10 years is peanuts. It’s just not my thing.
But thanks form explaining. 👍

Trump during intelligence briefing:
“I’ll close my eyes a bit while you are talking, so I can better concentrate on what you are saying, carry on…”

“rrrrr rrrr rrrrr”

Yet they show that name in all countries,

No, from the article this is the issue:

for Google Maps users in the United States

As a European they show both as Mexican and American in my language.
The latter is of course moronic, because as you say it is not an acknowledged name in my country, but how would you suggest it is illegal in USA?

Obviously Trump’s rename of Gulf of Mexico was stupid, but this is ridiculous, how does Mexico imagine they have a right to decide what others call things?
This is stupid meets stupid.

I don’t think they’ll ever recover, slammed sounds harsh!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus_Electric

Production December 2011 – May 2018

But the Focus is the only hatchback I could think of.

Jeg bruger Firefox, og på min ser det fint ud, måske du trængte til at få clearet cachen?

The Focus is AFAIK discontinued, but maybe you mean the Puma?

Seems to be a very counterintuitive way to use it. To me it sounds very wrong even if it is technically correct.
You are basically saying the opposite of what you mean.

From your link:

Tony can’t boil an egg, much less cook dinner.

This is the way I’d expect it to be used. Where it actually means less and not more.

For USA absolutely, for Germany and EU that and supporting AfD, for China no.
The biggest sales declines are in EU and China.

Absolutely, if Elon had been a normal CEO, Tesla would probably still be riding on the reputation they had few years ago.
What I’m saying is that it will be hard for Tesla to make a comeback, even if they somehow manage to restore the name.
They are no longer a technology leader, and they aren’t leading on value either, which makes Tesla just one among many options.
And it seems they can’t keep up with the competition anymore, now that the traditional auto makers have learned the basics of making a good EV. And China is so far ahead on batteries and Fast Charging it isn’t even funny.
Both BYD and CATL have batteries that can charge 3 times faster than the fastest Tesla!

In USA Tesla is protected by tariffs, So USA has lower competition, but in Europe and China, I don’t think Tesla has much of a future, (EU has 3 times as many BEV models to choose from than USA!) and even USA will be a a huge uphill struggle, because they have such poor brand recognition.
I don’t think Musk can turn Tesla around, the claimed options to do that are RoboTaxi, and AI and robots. But Tesla is not even close to be leading in any of those fields. So Tesla will be a company with huge R&D costs, but little money coming in. Unless Musk can keep conning new investors of course.
