Nodding Donnie has gotten us into a Mini-WWIII, I think, and there will be hell to pay — at the pump, in the securities markets, in the overall economy, not to mention legally for those perpetrating and prosecuting an illegal and immoral and STUPID war. Dementia Donnie, I think of a poster I saw at one of the protest marches against the ICE murders in Minnesota: “See you in Nuremberg, Fuc&ers!” Paging Jack Smith!
How is Iran going to be different from Iraq or Afghanistan? Do we want another Libya? I am saying I see nothing good in what Trump is doing, and do not want to hear it discussed as if his action is normal and we support it. I do not. I do not see anything good happening for the Iranian people, although I hope it will. Europe is already preparing for the flooding of immigrants into Europe. In fact, if this were Trump's plan to further erode democracy in Europe, it is a winning plan.
Meanwhile Iran is inflicting major damage on the other members of the Trump club. I call it the Epstein Class Club. Russia is in it, even if they did give Iran intel on US positions, and Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Israel, Turkey, Argentina, Hungary, and Belarus are in the club. Who is not in the club are Venezuela, Iran, Colombia, Canada, Greenland and most of the rest of the EU, as well as South Africa, Brazil, Vietnam etc...
The thing is that Trump is only in this club because he has the mighty US military behind him. I am wondering if this new leadership will get tired of him too.
ST: As for Trump’s attack on Iran, Shedd called it “a high wire act in terms of going in on Saturday and decapitating the leadership, including Ayatollah Khamenei and the rest of the leadership. It’s historically proven that there is no war that’s ever been won from the air…The idea that somehow it will bring about regime change is very much in question, in my view, after [observing] 47 years of the Iranian revolution…”
👍👌😉🙂 Though one might - might - reasonably suggest that IF -- maybe a big "if" -- IF the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian police and military, whatever those thugs and psychotics are calling themselves, are reduced to running around like decapitated chickens -- maybe some evidence of that -- THEN maybe there's an opening for a more democratic and enlightened revolution to take place.
And particularly since Islam itself, at least the Shia sect, seems congenitally incapable of any necessary reforms. Christianity, and maybe Judaism, have had their own reformations, but much of Islam may be structurally incapable of it. Muslim reformer Shireen Qudosi once said, quite reasonably in my view, that "Islam needs to reform or it needs to die." I'm ok with either eventuality, although that seems to be mostly on the heads and populace of Iran.
