Not much to discuss.

Now we wait for either a successful assassination attempt or for a coalition of the willing to liberate America and deal with the Southerners better than they did with their last attempt.

Or he dies of natural causes and JD supervises the rats eating each other.

No way you’ll uninstall this with discussion, protests or elections.

This is general strike, or bullet material.

I’ve been contemplating this terrible Truman Show that we’re living in and finding it ironic that Iran, this bogeyman for decades, has a chance to be the entity that finally tells the guy no and makes it stick. But the likelihood of that chance working out depends a lot on how far the US-Israeli war crimes go, and this story is bad news on that front.

Since the military is completely spineless and won’t give a damn about the constitution he will tamp this up to the point of using tactical nukes on Iran.

He only has two goals: distract from the epstein files and make sure his power isn’t curbed domestically.

But even with nukes, Iran won’t give up. They are defending their own existence.

I.e. to Mango Iran is just a means to an end, but to Iran this war is about the survival of the Persian peoples.

Iran has the most passive power of all nations in the Middle East. They are literally capable of forging alliances that we’re not possible prior to this war. This might help cause China to emerge as the new world power to replace the US.

Hey would you look at that. We are discussing this

The mid- and low- ranks are taught that their duty is to follow orders above all else. Even with some instruction about war crimes, they’ve still been told that theirs is not to question why, theirs is but to do and die. I wouldn’t call it spinelessness, but I take your point.

The high-level officers are supposed to know better than to order the wrong things, and I have to applaud Randy George for his refusal. Getting fired publicly is presumably the best warning he feels he can provide. But they’ll dig around and find someone more compliant, then proceed.

I’ve already heard talk of the emergence of the petroyuan. If the petrodollar collapses, so will US hegemony. Existential threats abound for many.
