@graydon @cstross @mitch @lasagne @pluralistic Or No one agrees peace is good, not a ceasefire, but, not a war, just lobbing drones, missiles, airstrikes at each other. Slowly dragging more into the maelstrom, involve the bab el mandab & red sea, involve china, Pakistan, India, escorting their tankers, more friction, eventually something will happen, too many variables, far too few cool heads. A wider conflict opening up before we know what's happening. Then...then, we're on the road to hell
