The "ugly American" is back--on steroids. To borrow a term of exasperation from my [non-Zionist] Yiddish brothers and sisters, Oy vey! 🥴
I shouldn't say this [Yes I should], but I often wonder about something. I learned, decades ago, that the U.S. military swears to defend the country "from enemies, foreign or domestic." Weeeeeeell, where does one draw the line?
Three years ago, the late Gonzalo Lira loaded a 1-hr and 44-min video, at YouTube, in which he explained why Western leaders are incompetent. His words, not mine. Here's that video:
Now, if we have [and we do, according to Lira and a bunch of experts that Judge Napolitano interviews every week: Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, Col. Douglas Macgregor, Phil Giraldi, LARRY JOHNSON, Scott Ritter, Ray McGovern, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Professor John Mearsheimer, and others]; since we have a bunch of super-competent experts, all of whom--at one time or another--have described some of our leaders as incompetent, then when does the military do its job?
In my book, these incomppetent "leaders," in part due to the real possibility that they could get us all killed, due to their incompetence, amount to domestic enemies. And I just wish they were a Chicago, 47th Street street gang, from back in the day. I'd round up "my boys" and go take care of business!! 😡 I'm laughing to keep from boiling over with fury. Nothing's funny here.
I repeat: When do we finally realize that our government leaders are our enemies? And when does the U.S. military do its job and remove them? Call it whatever you will: insurrection, coup d'tat [that spelled right??], whatever.
It appears to me that one reason this sh*t goes on is that, unlike Russia, our leaders never get punished and thrown into the slammer. There's no accountability.
So, you say that incompetence is not a reason that our leaders should be removed by the military, so that we can be protected from their insane and dangerous decisions? Okay, then what can be done? Voting? Ridiculous!! We vote for our dictators, as it's turned out. We vote. Then they do whatever the MIC and our oligarchs tell them to do. So? Where's the military?
Well, that's enough. I ain't no expert. But, damn!!!!!!!!!! 😡🤬
Mr. and Mrs. American does not want war. What is it good for?
Do the people that work in our federal government have any family members in the US military who are currently stationed in the Middle East on a base or on a ship? These people are in immediate jeopardy if the bombers parked on Diego Garcia drop bombs on Iran.
Where the H is a Declaration of War on Iran, issued by Congress?! Are the elected people in Congress neutered?
Do some of the elected have loved ones on bases and ships in the Mideast?
MAYBE the US will only provide air refuel to IDF airplanes outside of Iranian airspace. Then Iranian retaliation will be more centered around Israel and more symbolic against US Middle East assets. Or perhaps so hoped Trump. In that case, it would be the end of the Satanyahu's government. He figured he is going to get a no-confidence vote anyway.
Very true. During Confucius' time, his country went through a political coup, civil war, and social unrest. His students asked him what to do. He answered that those who hold government jobs should dedicate themselves to their job duty. Those who have social influence should be careful about their decisions. People who have senior parents who cannot be relocated should stay and take care of the old and the young. People who do not have such concerns should get out of that place. This case was part of the condensed recording of Confucius's teaching by his students. Confucius's home country was about the size of a large county in the US, say, like Orange County, but much less populated, of course.
Something that people aren't talking about. The attack on Russia's nuclear deterrent by drones raises a big problem for the US and NATO. Now any civilian or soldier, a citizen or alien, living anywhere, can attack our bombers or airliners anywhere in the US using commercial drones. I remember after 911 Bush wanted to watch model plane groups as they might become a terrorist threat. Well, that's what drones have become - low cost sabotage tools for terrorists internationally. Drones. Can you think of a worse terrorist tool?
I wanted to make an observation on Tulsi Gabbard who made her name by declaring we don't want war with Iran. She is in Japan talking Hiroshima. She is not giving Trump intelligence background. She is playing diplomat with India and others. Trump is being run by the Pentagon and Congress that has him isolated so that Bibi can have his war and we continue to back Ukraine.

"We are going to have a big, beautiful war"...
...as the stomach churns.

I'll say it again:
War--what is it good for?
Good God, y'all!
Unfortunately, Larry, I believe you are right
Trump is a bigger fool than Biden. Love to see how the MAGA crowd sell this one.
Does the fool think that Russia and China have been twiddling their thumbs all this time? The have armed Iran to the teeth.
And Russia and China will aid Iran if it is attacked.
Russia, China, and Iran have a lot of smarts, and large arsenals.
The US and Israel 'leaders' act like madmen.
MAYBE the US will only provide air refuel to IDF airplanes outside of Iranian airspace. Then Iranian retaliation will be more centered around Israel and more symbolic against US Middle East assets. Or perhaps so hoped Trump. In that case, it would be the end of the Satanyahu's government. He figured he is going to get a no-confidence vote anyway.
Ah...but it's not just Netanyahu and his fanatical regime. It's 82% of the population of Israel.
So if the other 18% aren't making plans to get the fuck out of Palestine, they probably should be.
