Y'all, I officially have no idea what in tarnation is actually happening in #Iran. (Not nukes! #TACO instead. Yay.)

The US media is touting this like #USA won, but #Arab and #Farsi reports are telling a story a little more plausible. Those reports say that the Strait will be opened *under IRGC control, for two weeks, using tolls (that's new), with payment in #Chinese #Yuan.

This is the beginning of the end of the petrodollar. And Iran has two weeks to rebuild their missile systems and 14 Billion in Yuan we just gave them to buy oil.

Meanwhile, #Israel says ceasefire doesn't apply to them, and they targeted and destroyed one of the oldest synagogues in the world in Tehran, burying torah scrolls older than those in Jerusalem.

Wrong kind of Jews. Tan / Brown ones. Like the bombing of the Catholic churches in Palestine and Lebanon. Wrong kind of Christians. Not the Crusaders, you see. Don't worship the Golden Calf, preferring the peasant Palestinian.

How is this a "winning"?

@MissConstrue Israel has become what they once abhorred. They are not winning. Israel and the US are losing respect and power the world over. Trump and Netanyahu have destroyed the reputation of their countries.

Only it never actually "abhorred" it. There's a fascinating new book in German about the roots of Zionism in Prussian nationalist thinking, the spiritual predecessor to German fascism.

@bifouba @darwinwoodka If you have the title, I’ll put in on my list for English edition. I can muddle through grade school German, but not actual literacy.
