The word 'war' means different things to people. To the Boltons of this world

[mahina]

War means busines, lots of blah blah blah on the squawk box, posturing and propaganda and power, seasoned with moments of pretending to care even one speck about the fallen on our side much less the vilified other.

For those of us who say goodbye to our family and friends it means months and years of fear and worry, with our hearts breaking in half while we try to maintain our lives without our loved ones. Then come the years of learning to deal with the fallout.

For those who serve I won’t pretend to know what it means. What does it mean to you?

PS I think trump and team are setting us up to drain and destroy us. They must not be allowed to prevail. War with Iran would permanently harm this country with an immense self-inflicted wound.

1. Bolton's "yellowcake" UN moment is coming up.

Next week, I think. He's gonna point to oil related things were "sabotaged" in SA, who in turn blames "terrorists" from Yemen who did it
because ...uh...Iran, somehow.
Yemen is the country that Saudis have bombing into rubble, wich also happens to control a key "chokepoint" to oil shipping lanes between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

EXACTLY the same oil shipping/map issue that were behind Cheney's Project for a New American Century, (That Bolton was a major figure of)
the Project which listed Iraq, Syria, Ira(which sits between Iraq and Afghanistan) as countries to control.

Today...only Iran remains intact. Using various excuses, we have seen to it that Iraq and Syria have had their country bombed back to the stone age, and Saudis are doing same to Yemen.

With such a huge investment in keeping control of oil, it is no wonder that global warming/climate change, which makes oil and coal the villains, is being ignored by the OIL-igarchs who by now are rich enough to safely also ignore the masses.
