Look, this whole “ceasefire” thing is very welcome. It’s definitely more palatable than the alternative.
But with both side claiming victory, it’s interesting to see what has actually been achieved.
Which is nothing.
The Strait of Hormuz still isn’t open. Which it was 6 weeks ago, before all of this started.
And incredibly, Iran is even less popular amongst its neighbouring countries than it was 6 weeks ago, before all of this started.
Well done, lads.
Additionally, neither side seems very sure about what the actual T&Cs of the ceasefire are, which surely means that by the time this post publishes on Thursday morning, it’ll likely already be business as usual with the despotic leaders of both nations (and Israel) bombing each other as much as they can.
No wonder I’m looking forward to a weekend away.
Still on Earth, mind you, so not really escaping from all this crap.
But interplanetary travel is so expensive with the price of fuel right now. Because of… well… you know what.
