En resumen:
No va a pasar nada
Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.
To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.
The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.
And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.
We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.
Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.
They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.
One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

🇨🇴 ¡OPERACIÓN RESCATE: VAMOS A SACAR A COLOMBIA DEL HUECO!
Nos dejaron una deuda gigantesca y una cuenta que hoy pagan los colombianos. ¡Se acabó la fiesta y la guachafita con la plata de la Nación!
Con la Operación Rescate proponemos reducir $65 billones en gastos durante cuatro años, eliminar burocracia innecesaria, aliviar los impuestos a las empresas y compensar el IVA a los más vulnerables.
El Estado se aprieta el cinturón primero. El que más tiene, aporta más. Y a quien menos tiene, se le devuelve.
La plata pública es de los colombianos, no de los políticos. Nuestra responsabilidad es poner las cuentas en orden, proteger el empleo y recuperar la economía.
¡SÍ O SÍ, SACAMOS A COLOMBIA DEL HUECO!
Los predicadores universales de la democracia exigiendo un golpe de estado y desconociendo unas elecciones libres y democráticas.
Prefiero ver el mundo en cenizas y morir de un flechazo de un musulmán antes de darle la razón a un judío.
No hicisteis caso a Israel, la vanguardia de Occidente frente a la barbarie. Preferisteis condenar su derecho de defensa, blanquear a sus enemigos terroristas, ocultar, negar o contextualizar los crímenes atroces del 7-O, difundir la mentira del genocidio. Hoy los que destruyen ciudades europeas exhiben la bandera palestina.
Los abanderados de la democracia exigiendo censura. Judío imbécil, @netanyahu
אני דורש מהרמטכ״ל, מראש השב״כ ומהיועמ״שית לפתוח בחקירה מקיפה כנגד המשתתפים בסרט ״נז״א״ ולהעמיד אותם לדין בגין עבירות ביטחון מידע חמורות, הוצאת דיבה פלילית ופגיעה באינטרסים מדיניים וביטחוניים של ישראל.
הסרט מגולל עלילה שקרית, מטעה ומגמתית שמוציאה דיבה רעה על מדינת ישראל ועל צה״ל בעולם ופוגעת פגיעה קשה במעמדה של ישראל.
אנחנו תמיד נעמוד עם לוחמינו האהובים והגיבורים!

Jewish supremacy is the problem.
The term antisemitism is rhetoric to discourage the legitimate criticism of jewish actions and crime.
Es la cara más judía que ví en mi vida. En verdad al pintor de Austria se la ponían muy fácil para identificarlos. La endogamia no perdona.

Matías Islas tiene 19 años y se presenta como “el relojero más joven del país”. Empezó con una mesa en la calle en la que vendió sus propios juguetes y cuando obtuvo sus primeros 500 dólares se lanzó a las antigüedades, pero con el foco especialmente en los relojes. Hoy tiene su propia oficina en el centro porteño, un equipo de más de 15 personas y se define como “el número uno”.
