Trump Attacks Iran, III

One article I read pointed out that we've long known Iran would be able to close the straits and we don't have the capacity to clear the mines and open it... But Hegseth apparently wouldn't listen... Shocking.

There have been various war simulations conducted by the military that have suggested this and have effectively dissuaded everyone from attempting it. But we have Epstein’s top client willing to Leeroy Jenkins into it.
 

My Oregon bud texted me yesterday. Friends for over 25 years, but one topic we have never discussed at any length is religion and God. He was wheelchair bound in rural Washington state in the 1960s and 70s, so he didn't exactly have the best experience with the Catholic Church or the Christians of his day. (He was taken to some sort of gathering after Mass one morning, and his grandparents - that's who raised him - told them to not bring him around because it was a downer for everyone else there). It's just not something we talk about very much with each other.

But yesterday morning he texted me and said, "Holy cow, for maybe the first time ever, you and me and the pope ALL AGREE on something!

A report from Israel this week demonstrated that there was wide support among Israelis for the genocide being committed in Gaza and now in Lebanon. Granted the report may have been slanted but showed a similar attitude toward Arabs and even Arab Christians in Lebanon as in the US had toward American Indians historically (The only good Arab is a dead Arab). There are at most 8 million Jews living in Israel (excluding non Jews living in Israel) and there are 400 million Arabs surronding them.

The point of all of this is to say that the highest probability of the use of a nuclear weapon is by Israel and that probability has increased dramatically. Once that fuse is lit?

I have to confess given all the dispensational thinking of the 1970s and 1980s, but it would be the irony of all ironies if ISRAEL started "the battle of Armageddon."

There are contradictory reports now emerging on this.


The CENTCOM commander can come out and actually say this if I'm supposed to believe it.

All of my life, I have attempted - whether I like the President or not - to give the benefit of the doubt where it concerns foreign policy until I cannot do so. (To give the most heated example, I DO NOT think Bush 43 LIED about Iraq having WMDs in 2003, I think he was MISLED by advisors and MISTAKEN in the path chosen. I think he sincerely believed it when George Tenet said it was a slam dunk - unaware as his Daddy always was that the CIA is notorious for overstating threats because nobody wants to be the next Neville Chamberlain or April Glaspie). Even as much as I loathed Bill Clinton, there was always a "politics ends at the water's edge" understanding.

But the current President has made it impossible - because he lies when there's no reason to lie. We all know why Clinton lied under oath about adultery because every man on this board would have done the same thing. We know why Reagan lied about selling arms to Iran (begun by - guess who? Yep, Israel!), we know why Bush 41 lied about tax increases, and we know why Obama lied about choosing your own doctor. We know why Nixon lied about Watergate.

But the problem is, this one lies about EVERYTHING.

This one LIES ABOUT HIS WEIGHT and has for years.


So just pardon me if I don't think "hey, that's a decent enough outcome" because the list of lies is so long it would make a convicted rapist blush.

Well, except for this one.
 
Trump is the true world’s enemy right now. Blockading a strait already closed is only meant to bring the world’s economy to a breaking point. He’s willing to screw over every working class person on the planet because he’s America’s Hitler.


It’s time for congress to end this war immediately and bring our troops home. It’s time for our military to stop following the orders of the mad man in the White House.

A black man gets elected in 2008 and the GOP decided that destroying our country, and now the world, was the best response.

Do they war game the stupid decisions? Meaning like going ahead with a strategy that no competent regime would do allied or axis.

Somehow, I believe we are thin on intelligence of stupid decisions...

If interested in an alternative review of the negotiations and events surrounding it. I have been watching a writer based in New Dehli, Pravin Shawney, who previously was a reporter with Janes Defense. Needless to say his reporting differs greatly from what we receive in the US.

 
vance is currently in hungary, stumping for orban (while unironically scolding the eu for meddling in hungary's elections), who is one of putin's biggest allies, while putin is giving iran intelligence to use against us. i wouldn't put anything that couch humping weasel

The Democrats apparently exported their ways of stealing elections to Hungary.


Veteran Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat in a parliamentary election, ending his 16 years in power, and congratulated Péter Magyar, leader of the opposition Tisza party.
