@Remittancegirl 1/ it's Netanyahu's war. He sold Trump on a lemon of a vehicle, and now he's asking 'friends' to come and push it because it won't roll uphill.
What an idiot. Nevermind Hegseth, who may as well be waving a flag in a speedo with a potato on the wrong side.
This was lost the moment it was thought of.
This is not to say Iran had or has good leadership.
The strategy of local authority rather than centralized, though, required a level of humility beyond a narcissist.
@Remittancegirl 2/ that, in real time, shaped the response differently. Where Trump and Netanyahu thought decapitation was the way, behold the hydra...
The only sensible thing to do would be to stop.
The only sensible thing that should have been done was not starting.
'Move fast and break things' results in things breaking. Surprise...
All the while the fcc chair is upset that the media is not dishonest enough about the war that they say isn't a war.
An 'excursion' from sanity.
