"Nobody knows if we’re going to war with Iran, including Donald Trump, but the frenzied media coverage leaves the impression it’s already been decided.
The message of the coverage is clear: It doesn’t really matter what the public thinks; it has no role to play in the decision; and it is too ignorant to understand the issue anyway."

"It looks like the US is about to launch a major attack on Iran — again.
The problem is, no one seems to know exactly what Trump is after or why he is doing this now. He’s about to write a new chapter in the long and (mostly) ignominious history of American presidents thinking they can bend the world to their will by dropping bombs on foreign countries, yet he himself doesn’t seem to know why, let alone how it’s supposed to end."
~ Paul Waldman
"Donald Trump’s decision to order airstrikes against Iran will hinge in part on the judgment of Trump’s special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, about whether Tehran is stalling over a deal to relinquish its capacity to produce nuclear weapons, according to people familiar with the matter."

"What else is a raging, malignant narcissist to do to distract from his many failures at home? There’s child-rape accusations against him in the Epstein files, the sinking economy and his tariff loss from SCOTUS, his 36 percent approval rating with only 19 percent of voters strongly approving of him, etc., etc.!"

"Striking Iran would help Secretary of WAR Pete Hegseth spend more of that $500 billion Congress handed him that he has yet to apportion. And core to Trump’s 19-percent-strong-approval base are Zionist evangelicals with beliefs along the lines of Mike Huckabee’s and the rich Armageddon-curious conspiracy theorists who go to Peter Thiel’s Antichrist talks…."

"This is the drawback to naming a Christ-humping wingnut to one of the more delicate ambassadorial gigs in America. You get an incredibly indelicate Christ-humping wingnut whose belief in his eternal salvation is at odds with modern geopolitics and the reality that a huge majority of the eight billion people on this planet think he’s nuttier than a sack of nuts."

"A military strike on Iran would not be a one-off event, but a catastrophic rupture in the region. Iran is not some isolated target on a map. It is a nation of 90 million-plus people with populated cities, hospitals, universities, and families who have suffered repression for over 47 years under the current regime and sanctions that have destroyed Iran’s economy."

"Human gas station boner pill Pete Hegseth." 👌
If Iran were to create a Sovereign Fund, and "invest" some billions with Jared, I'd be willing to bet they'd be in the clear.
