We should never forget the Republican Majority Congress failed at every level to stop this mad man from day one! This war atrocities cannot be blamed on one man, those who holds power has been looking away and condone this war crimes happen.
Americans CAN stop this anytime without being arrested or punished in any way for their actions. STOP SPENDING on all but essential items and shift as much of that essential spending to local businesses. No need to stop eating out, just eat in locally run family eateries (NOT corporate chains). It’s about strategic spending decisions. It’s all about common sense, but if you need more detail, click here for my broader thinking. Given the SCOTUS ruling on tariffs, you now have even more power
There is no case to be made for saying ‘there’s nothing we can do’ It really is very simple, and I would urge you to encourage everyone you know to become part of a sustained act of strategic economic disengagement, because I guarantee just by this most simple of actions, you can unlock the gate on the road back to real American values. A sustained 3-4% drop in consumer spending will occur if Americans have the collective and sustained patriotic determination to say ‘enough is enough’.
"The protection of civilians is of utmost importance, and we will continue to take all precautions available to minimize the risk of unintended harm." This from an Israeli who bombed Gaza without any discrimination of targets? Whose soldiers shoot 6 year old boys then hang around while they bleed out? Preempting any "what abouters", _no_ killing of civilians is acceptable. Full stop.
Excellent commentary. Trump’s agenda will work for only a short while: divert attention from the Epstein files, ESPECIALLY now that the investigations (interview of Bill Clinton) and the newly discovered 55 pages from NPR seem to be zeroing in on Trump. “Wag the dog” strategy is very much in play. It’s just a matter of time….
Even more telling - this is intentional to slow Iranian Oil Exports (which are now bargain basement prices - $40/barrel) to China and allow the worldwide Price of Oil to rise above $60 - $80 / barrel - all to benefit the Oil companies. The Orange King didn't figure this out - but his "handlers" did!
So disturbing that a young girls school fell victim to the violence of an unnecessary political war . I believe it was a technical error but that does not excuse the fact. Netanyahu , Trump and Putin think that terms of engagement and war standards do not apply to them - which is a symptom of their delusions of grandeur. I hope the International Court indicts both with War Crimes….. and puts out Interpol arrest warrants. Meanwhile Netanyahu’s wife and son sit poolside in Florida enjoying life … and Barron is making insider bets on when the attack on Iran would commence???
I believe that the DRAFT should be re instituted for ALL . Elite boys and girls should serve beside all the “ commoners “ - no more bone spur exceptions .
It’s the only way to stop these ego driven wars. When you have skin in the game , you are less likely to be so cavalier. And let’s see Trump meet those Honor flights carrying back the flag draped coffins and salute these men who gave their lives in service . Those words “ Suckers and Losers “ will never be forgotten . May he rot in Hell .
You are 100% spot on with these two points: "It’s just another treasure hunt for his self-enrichment." and "Trump doesn’t care, as long as it keeps the spotlight firmly trained on him..."
The root cause of most of what is being written about him is that he is a Malignant Narcissist — the most dangerous and, and as Fromm said in 1964 when he coined the term, EVIL.
No, he doesn't care. He'd nuke Iran tomorrow if it made him money and increased his polling. He doesn't care because he does not have the neural capability to care. Many of us have been saying this for over eight years.
A very expensive price, which others will pay, so that a weak president can distract the growing focus from missing Epstein files and the disgraceful behaviors contained therein.
Definitely the world is not safe. The Iranians was in agreement to reduce some of the uranium and other things, but the Israel and US government wants regime change. Do we have that possibility too, to regime change. I would love to see it.
"He is not liberating the Iranian people; he’s merely providing a permissive environment to incubate another repressive regime." Contrary, the reality is, we are not going to see peace on the Middle East. It's not a profitable for Israel.
Now we can see how Israel is getting to" from the sea to the river".
Plus "History is teaching us that time and again, Middle East military interventions led by the US result in long-term instability,"
Crimes and enrichment for the power corporations and criminal administration.
Times also, shows us that US needs a cost in order to be able to win: Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan and so on
Unfortunately, the Arabe world is to corrupt it. The care about money and power and they can sell their land and their own house.
“Old men in politics are dangerous — it doesn’t matter to them what happens to the world.” GBS
— “dangerous” not because old men are physically threatening, but because they’re liberated from the usual social hostage situation of consequence. If you don’t have to live with the fallout, you can afford to be reckless, ideological, even cruel. The knife twist is that Shaw frames this as emotional indifference to “the world,” widening the charge from personal selfishness to *civilizational negligence.
Wow thanks for all that background! I feel for the Iranian people! They only had one Great leader in my whole life! The US seems to be a Big Ass problem for the World Now!
The world is unquestionably a more dangerous place today because of this act of lunacy. Trump doesn’t care, as long as it keeps the spotlight firmly trained on him rather than on the growing problems of a failing economy and its crushing debt.Well said Martin but never forget the heat of Epstein is there in the insatiable Trump appetite for war and mayhem…

The scriptural version : Prov. 29:4 — By justice a king brings stability to a land,But a man seeking bribes brings it to ruin.
Pete Hegseth also said something about his disdain for "the stupid rules of engagement." Let the Trump Trials begin! It cannot happen soon enough.
