U.S. Obliterates Iranian Nuclear Sites, World Holds Its Breath: Geralt's Take on the Impending Doom!

A Witcher's Work Is Never Done (Especially When Kingdoms Explode)

Blast it all. Seems the world's gone mad again and not the fun kind where you get to slay monsters. Heard the news from some blokes at the tavern – the U.S. decided to play demolition derby with Iran's nuclear playgrounds. Claims of 'obliteration' are flying around faster than a griffin on a sugar rush. Makes you wonder if they consulted a Witcher before lighting the fuse. Probably not. They never do.

Diplomacy: The Art of Saying 'Please Don't Blow Us All Up' Nicely

The U.N. Security Council bless their bureaucratic hearts is in a right kerfuffle. Russia China and Pakistan want a ceasefire faster than you can say 'medallion's humming.' Meanwhile the U.S. is busy channeling their inner dragons breathing fire and brimstone. China's U.N. Ambassador Fu Cong spouts about dialogue and negotiation. Sounds about as effective as trying to reason with a Leshen. I'd wager a silver sword it's going to end up with more shouting than solving.

Fairy Tales and Nuclear Missiles: A Modern Romance

Ah the U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea... She claims Iran is playing hide the nuclear weapon. Accusations accusations. Russia's chap Vassily Nebenzia is having none of it reminding everyone of the good old days when Colin Powell sold them the Saddam snake oil. 'Again we're being asked to believe the U.S.'s fairy tales,' he says. You know sometimes I miss the simple days of just hunting monsters. At least you knew where they stood. These politicians? They're more slippery than a greased doppler.

Iran's Request and the Impending Doom

Iran's squealing to the U.N. demanding condemnation and justice. Good luck with that. The resolution needs nine votes and no vetoes from the big boys. The U.S. is likely to oppose it which means… well more of the same. And Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon thinks everyone should be sending thank you notes for the world becoming a 'safer place.' Safer for whom I wonder? The ghoulies hiding in the rubble?

Damage Assessment: Craters Tunnels and Very Nervous Watchdogs

So what’s the damage? U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi confirms that Iran's enrichment site has craters the size of small villages. Entrances to tunnels are hit but Iran claims no radiation leaks. Right. And I'm sure drowners only want to give you a friendly hug. Trust but verify. Or in my line of work trust no one and verify everything with a silver sword.

The Witcher's Verdict: Buckle Up It's Gonna Be a Bumpy Ride

As always the only certainty is uncertainty. The world's a powder keg and someone just tossed in a match. My advice? Stock up on potions sharpen your swords and find a good tavern. We're all gonna need a drink...or twelve. Wind's howling and this time it ain't just the weather.
