Should give us pause
All the expats fleeing the now routine slaughter by the Netanyahu and Trump war machine. The inhabitants of the Middle East cannot flea the axis of Israel and U.S. aggression. Are the lives of the innocent in Iran long smashed between their own government and my own less worthy of existence. When will the good…

Don’t get me wrong I will always appreciate Secretary Pete’s role as Captain America in Generation Kill
However, if we are going to continue our aggressive kill everything that moves strategy in Iran, I really think he should take his medications before the press conference.

I would argue Ukraine has the greatest military in the world
That is if judge a military by their capacity to defend themselves against a larger and more aggressive power. Maybe America and Israel had the greatest military but under Trump and Netanyahu it’s more like giving arsenals to 3 year olds to kill all the flying insects. Reporters keep using the word muscular. Seriously our…

Are you kidding me “White House says Iran is ‘paying in blood’ for crimes against US”
Now this statement coming from the U.S. administration is exactly what the evil axis says. We are so much more noble than this trash. Every American needs to dig deep and acknowledge that no one appointed Trump and the GOP as the grim reaper and self proclaimed executioner of entire countries. Mark this too, that’s…

Let’s just bring back the Shah’s son, do you hear yourselves?
Listen to yourself news media and then crack a book. The Ayatollah Komeini came to power and started the Theocracy madness because the Shah was great for business but brutal to his own people. Break the cycles. Trump and Netanyahu are just the most blatant examples of a long line of foreign men thinking they…

Since Iran is being smashed to pieces by Israel and it’s American mule, I figured high time to share a few more thoughts
Let me start by saying everything the U.S. is doing in Iran right now is wrong. Literally our President is the Ayatollah’s twin. Just replace theocracy with Trumpism. Otherwise their impulses and strategies are identical. Each ruleswith threats, zero tolerance, and marketing, and they love seeing their picture and name everywhere. Both have ruthless survival…

Existential Threats — fact check that please
Correction my reporter friends. President Clinton and Obama negotiated peace agreements without leveling countries and single handily executing government leaders they disagreed with. If Iran was suddenly sprinting for ballistics then maybe Trump should have sent a better negotiating team than his son-in-law and a buddy. Every one, including myself, is somewhat happy this Iranian…

The American Presidency and War. The Iran Cleric State and War. Netanyahu and War.
I too have fantasies of smashing my enemies for valor. Most boys and likely women, especially after marriage, have this impulse too. Sit in a soft chair, wear an oversized hat, savor the agreement of such stern faces around you. Then give the order: fleets, flights, and feet roll into motion. Time and attention fuse.…

Trump Changes U.S. Global Energy Policy Away from Climate Change Mitigation
I hear in the news report that Trump shows up at another international conference and acts like a sociopathic petulant child and other countries grovel to our demands.

Trump orders EPA to stop valuing human life — Trump Index (Lives lost because Trump is President)

Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietam servitutem
These are Latin words from Seneca, later exported to Rousseau and then most importantly to U.S., Thomas Jefferson. Translated to English, they mean I will take even feeble liberty over servitude.
