When the NeoCon leader says so....
...For years, Iran confronted a balance of power in the Middle East that tilted against it. The region was dominated by a hostile American superpower, a nuclear-armed and militarily superior Israel, and significant local actors—Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates—that were strategically and economically aligned with the United States. Today finds Iran in entirely new circumstances. It has gone head-to-head with the superpower and Israel, withstood a pounding from their most advanced weapons, and more than survived. As a result, Iran has, with American help, completely reconfigured the power structure of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. The dominant power in the region going forward will be Iran, not the U.S. or Israel. Neighboring countries are already making their adjustments to this new reality. More distant powers will too. For years, the world has been dealing with an Iran constrained. It will now discover what Iran unleashed looks like. ...--quoted at Vox
Tulsi told Trump that Netanyahu was full of shit. So did a number of Pentagon officials. The American public had repudiated Israel's war by electing a (faithless) Trump.
So now Israel will pay that price.
And the American public is repudiating Trump for supporting the war in Iran, a joint effort by Bibi and Miller/Kushner.
ReplyDeleteTrump is too stubborn to make peace and to stop funding Israel. AmericaFirst is dead. Why do you keep defending him?
Am I "defending" Trump?
ReplyDeleteFor some things he did, certainly. For Israel's War, nope.
Why do you ask bot-brain questions?
“[There is a] painful degree of cognitive dissonance within many of [Trump supporters]. They want to think better of themselves—and others to think better of them—than their actions warrant. What they see in Ossoff’s comments is a chance to signal that they are still who they once were, or at least seemed to be. In this case, they are portraying themselves as enraged at Ossoff’s “misogynistic lies.” His comments are “repulsive” and “guttersnipe statements.” The senator from Georgia is a “disgusting coward” and a “disgusting pig.” We’re told, “You don’t get lower than that.” They are offended that Ossoff is “punching down” at “defenseless” women.
DeleteOne can almost hear, from the distant past, their words of moral outrage at Bill Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Of course, in this case, Trump supporters have aligned themselves with a man who was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming a woman. Who falsified business records to conceal a sex scandal with a porn star shortly after the birth of his child. Who celebrated his affairs through tabloids. Who said if you have power, you can “grab ’em by the p——.” Who has called women “fat pigs” and “piggy,” “”
Dear Anonymous bot,
ReplyDeleteTrump’s a mixed bag
Trump has done many good things
If you’re going to criticize Trump for something you might as well criticize him for something that he actually did that was horrible and that pretty much negates all the good he has done.
For example , take this article
Trump the destroyer
….There’s a new spate of articles out that document Trump’s disastrous misuse of the US military—and, of course, the effect that is having on US standing in the world, not least due to the harm to US finances. Obviously, there’s more to this than just Trump’s crazy war on Iran, but Trump is CinC and, as such, is responsible for launching a huge, predictably disastrous, war of choice that has brought all these factors together into something like a perfect storm of destruction. It cannot be emphasized too much in this regard: This was a war of choice. Yes, it may have been part of a Jewish Nationalist fantasy to dominate the world, but it was ultimately Trump’s choice.
We’ve all seen the articles about the disastrous expenditure of standoff munitions—munitions that the US can’t do without in anything resembling a war against a modernish military. Like Russia’s or China’s or like … Iran’s. By the way, one of those standoff munitions is probably be examined by a team of Iranian, Russian, and Chinese engineers even now…..

Trump has done many good things to enrich himself. We agree.
Delete—It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.—
Top Commanders: Trump’s Breaking The Military
ReplyDeletehttps://meaninginhistory.substack.com/p/top-commanders-trumps-breaking-the
…….,,The top commanders didn’t exactly say that, but that’s certainly what they meant. I put that in the title because that’s what I said just a day or two ago: Trump The Destroyer. The WaPo has a devastating article out on the state of the US military, quoting specific officials. Apparently Hegseth’s press crackdown isn’t working and dissension within the establishment is breaking out into public.
Obviously top commanders can’t frame it in these words, but they’re basically saying, The time to cut and run has come. These guys are professionals. They know what they’re saying pretty much means pulling out of virtually the entire region. They’re saying, in effect, that Iran has won…….
“with barely 1/4 of the US Navy’s destroyer fleet currently ready to deploy” …
What are we getting for $1T a year plus another $400B a year VA administration that takes care of those disabled by war?
Zionism is dead in the water
Can we finally tell Israel to go on their own?
Can we deport them and throw them out of the pentagon? They can fight all their own wars by themselves…..
Close those 20 basis in the Middle East.
ReplyDeleteAnd send all the neons to Israel to fight to their hearts content
