PLEASE DON'T COMMENT ON THIS POST WITH POTENTIALLY SCARY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OTHER TOPIC:

INSTEAD PLEASE COMMENT ON THE SPECIAL SEPARATE POST I SET UP HERE: https://robertinventor.substack.com/p/post-to-comment-on-with-off-topic-940

The reason is I often aren't able to respond to comments for some time and the unanswered comment can scare people who come to this post for help on something else

Also even when answered the comment may scare them because they see it first.

It works much better to put comments on other topics on a special post for them.

It is absolutely fine to digress and go off topic in conversations here - this is specifically about things you want help with that might scare people.

PLEASE DON’T TELL A SCARED PERSON THAT THE THING THEY ARE SCARED OF IS TRUE WITHOUT A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE OR IF YOU ARE A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE YOURSELF - AND RESPOND WITH CARE

This is not like a typical post on substack. It is specifically to help people who are very scared with voluntary fact checking. Please no politically motivated exaggerations here. And please be careful, be aware of the context.

We have a rule in the Facebook group and it is the same here.

If you are scared and need help it is absolutely fine to comment about anything to do with the topic of the post that scares you.

But if you are not scared or don’t want help with my voluntary fact checking please don’t comment with any scary material.

If you respond to scared people here please be careful with your sources. Don’t tell them that something they are scared of is true without excellent reliable sources, or if you are a reliable source yourself.

It also matters a lot exactly HOW you respond. E.g. if someone is in an area with a potential for earthquakes there’s a big difference between a reply that talks about the largest earthquake that’s possible there even when based on reliable sources, and says nothing about how to protect themselves and the same reply with a summary and link to measures to take to protect yourself in an earthquake.

Thanks!

What happened is that Israel for the first time ever decided not to do a single attack but to keep attacking Iran. As a result there was no point in Iran's usual long period before a response to de-escalate as nothing it could do would stop the attacks.

There is still absolutely no risk of a world war and never will be.

For why Iran replied instead of waiting a long time see my:

Another more detailed post on its way soon.

Hi Robert. I'm new to this site, so would you be willing to tell me how to ask you for a specific debunk? I know you don't want people asking specific questions on the comments as not to freak anyone else out (which I appreciate by the way).

Sorry forgot to add the link. It's best to contact me via Facebook if you have it or join our group which has lots of other debunkers. You can also comment on the post here with suggestions / questions: Or send me an email.

You can contact me via private messages on Substack and on Twitter but I tend to vist my private messages there less often.
