Terrible but not the same as bombing every power station and bridge in the whole country, which is what we were fearing yesterday and was intended to send Iran back ‘to the stone age’

Two things can be appalling at once but we don’t need to pretend they are the same.

Sorry maybe I was overly snippy in my first post, I just reject the idea that somehow it was an overreaction to be fearful of Trump’s apocalyptic threats yesterday. I’m absolutely not trying to minimise the situation in Lebanon

I don’t mean to minimize anything about the threats yesterday, but the *scale* of what is happening in Lebanon vs what was (credibly) threatened yesterday, are in fact quite similar.
