I Predicted the 12 Days War

It is true that nobody can predict the future. However, if you could give me some leeway and grace to be a little arrogant, I would say that it is technically true, you cannot predict the future, but you can predict what should be and therefore could be. In that sense, you essentially predict some form of future that might be. It takes truth, real information, and a little understanding of the zeitgeist, actually, the more, the merrier. And this gut feeling that it is not only the right thing to say, but the right thing to do. I do not enjoy being right, nor do I need to be right. In fact, I always hope I am wrong, because that would mean there is still room left for surprise.

After the October 7 attack, when the terrorist group Hamas, which was funded by Iran, attacked Israel, at first I brushed it off as something that has always happened in the Middle East: 1,400 years of slave trade by Muslims, 1,400 years of conflict between Shia and Sunni, the constant call for death and destruction of America and the Jews, same old conflict, same old rhetoric, nothing to be surprised about. I am not surprised by war. In truth, even ants go to war, genocidal wars. Just as you do not care or even know that countless species of ants go extinct daily, I do not care about the number of deaths in a 1,400 year old conflict in the Middle East. Because I am in no position of power to do anything about it, nor do I have the will to change the Middle East in my image, it is not my fight, and it is not my place to do so. Let me put this plainly and simply: the history of mankind, and the history of war, shows the cruelty of human beings. Demonic behavior are common in every culture, ingrained in our DNA, and evil is part and parcel of our human nature.

The acts of War and Terror, from the Aztec death whistle, a whistle of nightmare that creates psychological terror through sound, to the Golden Horde of the Mongol Empire and their whistling arrows which warned that death was coming. These are just surface level forms of terror. There is no lack of examples throughout human history showcasing the savagery of war. However, there is an eternal struggle between Good and Evil. This is, without a doubt, the main reason why good men, who were once naive, all learned at a very young age that if you do not have the fight in you, evil will win. That if good men do not do the right thing, evil will win. History has shown that evil has won in various places, the hell that follows is needless suffering and pain. Such as China, during their culture revolution, millions of Chinese people died needlessly from their forced agriculture. This is what made me change my mind about the October 7 Attack. I was livid because what Hamas did was evil, not only an act of war. I understand the demonic behavior of men during wartime, plundering, burning, raping, killing and raped again. Nothing new. They do not surprised me.

What Hamas did was unprecedented in human history. It was not enough that they raped, killed and burned civilians during October 7, they went full evil by using their victim's smartphones to film their acts of violence and sent the videos directly to the friends and family of the victims via social media. They did not have to do that. This was not done to soldiers; it was done to civilians, and they were targeted because they were easy to take. They did it simply because they could, and that did not sit well with me. Hamas sang the song of an old empire, the Ottoman Empire, which treated non-Muslims as infidels and once beheaded and enslaved people simply because they could. They do it because they can, that is one of the signals of evil. Those who are evil can't help themselves. That same evil resurfaced during October 7. yet again, I was surprised, not only by Hamas, who was trained and funded by Iran, but by the Americans. It was unfortunate that America did no act, that Biden did not act. Some say he could not because he was not himself, but that did not matter. What mattered was America, the hyperpower, did not do the right thing.

Maybe it was strategic. Maybe Americans wanted to exhaust all other possibilities. Maybe it was because of indecisiveness due to the fact that they have a senile president, and nobody dares to take the reins, probably for fear of being blamed if things go south. Whatever it was, I was so triggered and livid that I ranted on LinkedIn a year ago, which probably cost me my job: "I can only see Trump doing it, going for a hot war with Iran." I also wrote that Israel, with American support, should preemptively strike Iran. Unfortunately, LinkedIn deleted my post, citing that it did not comply with their Professional Community Policies.

That prediction came true in 2025. It was Trump who did it, the 12 Days War, very fitting, probably inspired by the 6 Days War. I hope that Israel and America would do the right thing, to destroy Iran and Palestine. Before you call me a war hawk, there is only one war I ask for in this world: a war against evil, which is a war against Iran and a war against China. The rest of the conflicts, can be settled with a game of DotA for all I care. I am looking at Thailand and Cambodia right now, rock paper scissors, best out of three? For those wondering how I predicted a war two years before it happened, this is how: firstly, it is the right thing to do, which means it is the dominant strategy. How do I understand what is the right thing to do? If Muslims like Hamas, who are trained and funded by Iran, can kill Jews and civilians without any repercussions, if they are allowed to do so without any pushback, it gives them an unfettered free hand, a blank check, carte blanche. It means that Muslims can come after Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, atheists, free thinkers and others eventually. Your group will be targeted, and nobody will be there to help you because you allowed the Jews to be killed without pushback.

Those who support Palestine are on the wrong side of history. Not only that, but they benefit from the dominant strategy. That the hyperpower, which is America, acted only after 2 years, it's 1 year 8 months and 15 days if you want to be exact. Maybe Winston Churchill was right: "You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all other possibilities." Trump did a preemptive strike on Iran, on the excuse of intelligence from Israel that Iran was on the verge of having weapon-grade nuclear materials. Which is funny, because Iran had been selling their "about to be" weapon-grade uranium, which is low-enriched uranium, to Russia in 2015. According to ChatGPT and Gemini, Russia has been selling low-enriched uranium to US, which accounts for 10% of US energy needs. You could say that the US has been funding Iran, which is why Trump wanted to cut Iran off and leave the deal.

Good men go to war to push back against evil, that is what Trump signaled. His 12 days War was objective driven: to cripple Iran's nuclear enrichment, to disable Iran's funding, to disable low-enriched uranium sales. He did all that to stop Iran from funding global terrorist groups, including the Houthis and Hezbollah. Some still do not call them terrorists because they are in conflict zone, armed militias with terrorist leaning is the correct term.

Since I had access to the internet, I have liked visiting site with death and gore, places that share them freely. It shows me the real world, and I've visited those sites since I was a child. Today, it would probably be considered illegal or unsuitable for minors. Censorship under the guise of safety is not only going to harm the population but will also nerf the people. Information is king. Predicting the future requires truth and real information, and that is why those in power push for censorship and the dark algorithm. If you for one second think AI cannot tell that the word "strawberry" has three "R"s, or that AI will make the most obvious mistakes that you can immediately detect, yet AI somehow just can't, the same AI that can code and solve complex mathematics that 80% of the population can't. You, my friend, have been hit by a smooth criminal. That criminal is the dark algorithm of AI, hitting you with deception.

Before I go, if you could please grant me some leeway and not blame me for what I foresaw: careers or jobs will eventually be a thing of the past. Humans will create non human entities to work for them. That is the one thing I foresee. These non-human entities can work even in space, on the moon, on other planets, on a space station near the asteroid belt that surrounds our solar system. I hope I am wrong, that humans somehow magically become a new life form, some kind of cyborg, or maybe somehow become ethereal. That would be far more interesting.
