The magnitude of what just happened may take some time to sink in.
This is the first time Iran has struck Israel after Israel struck another country's territory (that is, not Iran).
This means that the battle lines have been moved.
Iran's deterrence had already been restored in the sense that Israel knew that any strike on it would be responded to.
But now, Iran has proven that it will also respond to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.
This is the first time in decades that a regional power has the means, capacity, and willingness to put hard power against Israeli military maneuvers or aggression against a third party.

I know this will offend some people, but the Kilifi incident looks stage-managed. I donโt believe the Ruto Kilifi incident was random.
The timing was too perfect.
For days, Kenyans were furious about fuel prices, the cost of living, hypocrisy, and the private jet debate.
Then, suddenly, a dramatic incident happens (for a second time, someone rushes to Ruto at the stage), and the entire country changes the conversation.
Now everyone is talking about sympathy, security, and Ruto is being portrayed as vulnerable.
And this is what many people are ignoring: this is not even the first time someone has โrushedโ toward the President near a stage setup.
After the North Eastern incident, werenโt security protocols supposed to become even tighter?
The President is the most protected man in the country. Around that stage are armed officers, intelligence personnel, plainclothes security, and elite units.
One wrong move in such an environment could be deadly. So naturally, people will question how such incidents keep happening repeatedly.
Even the dramatic aftermath, the statements by Kanja, the transfers, the outrage, it all feels politically convenient.
Maybe some people will call this a conspiracy. Fine. But questioning narratives is not madness. Blindly accepting everything without thinking is worse.
And whether people like it or not, the fuel crisis and the issues Kenyans were angry about have now completely disappeared from the national conversation.
That alone should make people think.
What sort of logic is this really? Fuel pricing is a predictable monthly event! Every single month we know the price will be reviewed! Shouldnโt you โprotect Kenyansโ when conducting the review in the first instance? We are seeing a pattern here where Kasongo throws us pain first then โreconvenesโ to give us Panadol.
This useless thing called OneApp is honestly frustrating to use. In some cases, you are forced to tap things twice for no reason. For example, when sending money, you first tap โDoneโ and then โSendโ. Why should users go through two steps for one simple action?
To make matters worse, I have also lost some of my saved paybills and tills.
Safaricom has really gone down when it comes to listening to customers. Instead of improving the user experience, the top leadership seems more focused on looting than fixing obvious problems that affect everyday users.
I think this is now serious ๐ณ. William Ruto needs to go to Nairobi Hospital. At this rate Coward Miguna and Mike Sonko are now better. I expect Rigathi Gachagua aka Riggy G to fire back. Gloves are officially off๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
