    Honestly, I wrote my comment with a questioning tone because I wasn’t sure if your original comment was being sarcastic or something. I guess people don’t understand that this Iran war is much more serious than Vietnam and Afghanistan put together, on top of the Ukraine war still ongoing.

    If the strait isn’t open in the next few months, we could be seeing outbreaks of global starvation unlike anything seen in decades. That’s just the beginning and I wish I was exaggerating

        The line has already been drawn. The only meaningful wildcards are the Turks and the Egyptians. The question you should be asking is how long until the gulf monarchies run out of staple grain? That hits much sooner than the global fertilizer crisis, we won’t feel the business end of that until harvest season in the northern hemisphere

                You strike me as a hasbara troll, not someone who’s actually depressed. I’m not good at talking people out of suicide anyways.

                If you really are thinking of ending your life, talk about it with a trusted friend instead of some assholes on the internet like myself

                    This comment does seem for real, I’ll bite

                    Hasbara is the name for the Israeli propaganda machine, especially the paid influencers

                    What I’m describing is in the direction of the worst-case scenario, there are many other scenarios that could unfold - nobody knows.

                    I personally think suicide is THE difficult moral and philosophical question, I will certainly not be claiming there is an easy answer and I don’t personally like the standard responses like “permanent solution to a temporary problem”

                    Why did you make the difficult choice to go sober?

        It’d probably play out as Iran, China, Russia (eventually North Korea) v. US, Israel - then all the dick swinging and pissing contest and empty threats would push UK, France and Germany in but they’d just be hoping US would be doing all the heavy lifting because honestly they want to be the “heroes” anyway so why not. Then some bickering and hootin and hollering would happen between Russia, China and US and nuclear threats begin. It’d likely be a stalemate as it’d be considered MAD (mutually assured destruction) but who knows with these crazy assholes.
