1/n #Foreign and #Domestic #Emergencies Dept : Imbecility and incompetencies on the part of the #US and #Israel are spinning up some unlikely alignments. Even if these types of scenarios had been previously gamed it’s unlikely that a plan exists for any of them. The windows for avoidance have imploded.
Some elements of the widening conflict that have been semi silent remain under the radar. Our allies are properly aghast and might reasonably assert our #Congress has collapsed.They’re not wrong-
2/n...none of the alignments referenced in the previous are #Israel - #SaudiArabia. Apparently another individual in the band of lunatics cobbled that together on their own. Did someone forget to lock the double doors ?...
It's hard to know exactly what in a constellation of very bad things will overtake the others to emerge first.That largely depends on events this administration has very little grasp of.
There is another , demonstrably darker side to what is taking place wherein the crazier-
3/n...the President acts the more money he generates for himself and his cronies. All of the regulatory frameworks governing that trading have been dismantled or necrotized and much of the activity is occurring in broad daylight. Futures trading isn't hard to track. The patterns have now repeated several times. Trading for profit on war crimes makes real a situation where we lose close to a billion dollars in military hardware in a single day but malefactors personally pocket 2 billion 3 days -
4/n...later with literally no fear of prosecution and strong motivation to continue.
The crimes are still crimes, just on a financial scale we've not seen here before.
The playbook * itself * has been seen before. It's how #Russia became a failed state.
We should understand that the necrosis we see locally isn't invisible to the rest of the world. The #EU , #Canada , #NATO countries and others are not blind ; they still have regulatory frameworks that actively monitor markets and enforce laws-
5/n...within the scope of trade and those markets. Lack of enforcement here does not mean lack of enforcement there. In some cases they have already warned this administration that what's going on here won't fly there. It's just one more dimension of an inevitably larger conflict...
6/n...we should make effort to understand we are seeing a disease process of
#Corruption -> #Escalation -> #Metastases -> #Necrosis
Observations will generally yield the same cycle whether it's occurring in the #US, #Israel, #Iran , #Russia or anywhere else.
In almost every case the end stage involves at some point the general population becoming expendable as an obstruction to those desiring to remain in power. There has been very little variation on that theme.
Ironies are always in abundance
