One of my posts on X appeared on @PressTV Iran's First International News Network on Monday, 23 February. This is a reminder that ordinary voices can cross borders and bypass propaganda. We are at an extremely dangerous moment. The pattern is familiar: sanctions, hatred, military build-up, and inflammatory rhetoric.
History has shown that wars are never limited to the decisions of those who start them. A modern conflict between nuclear-armed states would spare no nation or family. A third world war would be fought on many fronts and in numerous countries. Wars are fought by the young and mourned by all, while being decided by a few.
Silence is never neutral; it is a vote for whatever happens next. One post reached Iran. Imagine what millions of posts might achieve.
Powerful decision-makers count on our exhaustion and empathy overload – do not give in to them. Please share and post your comments. Your voice matters more than you can know.
