I've never seen labeling like this before. Interesting.

Well, I don't know if this is news to anybody, but there actually is something important to note here, and it is something I brought up in another post.

If evidence russia is helping Iran with intelligence is irrefutable and loudly agreed upon globally, that creates a much bigger political opening for nations in the Gulf and surrounding region to directly work with Ukraine on mutually building up counter drone capability and the ability to ensure littoral maritime security. Heads of nations can say to their people, "hey, we should work with the people fighting who is giving the Iranians intelligence right?" and that appeal is simple and direct in a way I don't think it was before necessarily.

The appeal is obvious, the world's former superpowers (The US/Israel and russia) clearly want World War 3 and the rest of the world clearly does not. If wealthy nations that don't want the Iran War to continue to spiral out of control work with Ukraine then actually I think a globally meaningful amount of leverage can be brought towards ending the Ukraine War and the Iran War.

From this perspective this kind of headline becomes a lot more meaningful as a direct, diplomatic hand outstretched to those who are willing to craft that future in perhaps what might hopefully be looked back upon as a historic moment in a shift towards multipolarity of power.

Something else to ponder, Trump will never make his daddy surrender to him on terms favorable to Ukraine, and Iran will likely not negotiate a peace deal with the US serving as the sole center of power involved in the negotiations other than Iran. China or India could step in... maybe they will... maybe Europe will get its shit together... but if any one single powerful geopolitical heavyweights doesn't make a bold move it opens a symmetric vacuum of unmet interests here for global middle powers to allign that may present a new counterbalancing power to the interests of endless war if it is filled by a coalition formed with resilient bonds.

I am not suggesting any new kind of global governance model will arise from this necessarily, but a new informal flow of actual power certainly will.

I posted this to the excellent reads community on shit just works the other day and I have just kept thinking about the article from the perspective of collapse as an individual experience. I think this article fits here as perhaps an initial threshold or centering point for the broader experience of collapse beyond the borders of our own body.

Collapse after all is always individual eventually, if not already.

While median survival is now measured in years rather than months, we are seeing the emergence of “super-responders” navigating their second decade post-diagnosis. As a psychologist, I view this not just as a medical victory but as a profound existential shift: we have replaced the suddenness of the cliff with the tenuous permanence of the high ridge.

When I joined my patient support group, we were a collection of disparate lives tethered by a reluctant masonry. We spoke in bruised shorthand: comparing palliative care, clinical trials and the provisional nature of plans. There was an unexpected symmetry in this shared vocabulary. We began as strangers, yet were quickly bound by a radical intimacy that made conventional friendship feel almost superficial by comparison.

But mortality is a notoriously capricious auditor. Some of us, through an opaque quirk of biology or the blind luck of a genetic mutation, traverse the wreckage, while others are overtaken by it. Porous by nature, I absorb the emotional charge of others with an unguarded ease. Consequently, when a peer such as Saskia admits in our group chat that she has reached the end of her options, messaging from an old house in the middle of nowhere about “hospice at home” and texting until she no longer can, the loss feels like a physical removal, an erosion of my own internal geometry.
