It seems pretty clear that the Tangerine Tyrant will ignore Iranian threats to attack water & energy sites across the Middle East if the US bombs Iran's power plants, in the latest stage of the escalation.

The Q. is no longer how disruptive the US/Israeli attacks on Iran will prove to have been, but how long this disruption will last.... the suspicion must now be that this is going to have a long & disruptive shadow that last years, not months.

@ChrisMayLA6, and as with the Gaza and Sudan genocides, we just sit still and watch on, even as this war against Iran and its people affects and really targets everyone and all of us.

Israel and the US sadistic and barbaric, Europe heartless and spineless.

It feels like watching a different version of the 30s but it’s not clear whether and who would stop the world burn to the ground this time.

@j9t @ChrisMayLA6 Short termist, narrow minded thinking has always been an issue - even more so now! The future is an inevitability - we should plan for it more, and be educated to do same IMHO (speaking as one who is not good at this at all).
@ChrisMayLA6 What is odd about the Tangerine Tyrant is the ever increasing signs that he’s #deranged - mentally unstable - his endless dithering on the #Iran war suggests this too. And yet nobody does anything about this literal madman. Very odd indeed.
@alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6 It really is a personification of modern day capitalism, We know capitalism is insane and we know it is killing us but we just can't help ourselves, We absolutely love it. Another thing that really makes what is happening even more palatable to the insane masses is that we are so used to social media and reality TV it's almost like we are watching a drama unfold in real time, People won't really wake up until it hurts them personally & stops being just a show...

@alex_p_roe

Like a deranged bear, he can do a lot of damage before those around can subdue him....

@ChrisMayLA6 Indeed. More worryingly, I believe some in his circle want him to do as much damage as possible. The old fool is too far gone to know he's being used and is far too much of a narcissist to care anyway. At least deranged bears don't control massive, powerful, armed forces.

@ChrisMayLA6 As long as feeble-minded POTUS picks up the Zionist soap there will be no peace in the ME. Zionists want to be the hegemonic power in the region surrounded by failed states that can enjoy having their “lawn mown” on a regular basis. #genocide
