Does anyone else think there's something suspicious about the way it's all supposedly "well" now?

Did Iran actually take credit for last night's attack that didn't do anything?

[gopiscrap]

1. yup

[LakeArenal]

2. Every breath in the last three years is suspicious.

Every move the make
Every vow they take....🎶

[Dennis Donovan]

3. They took credit, and they're likely not finished.

Maybe no missiles for awhile, but that wasn't proportional to losing Soleimani - there's something else up their sleeve, IMO.

[Bettie]

6. OR they are simply awaiting the election

and a leader who isn't a megalomaniac and an idiot.

9. Best case scenario - I hope you're right.

7. My $ would be on attacking tRump properties.

THAT would be apropos. One attack would send his revenues plummeting - who would want to spend $ or time at an international Target?

[Dennis Donovan]

11. How could they not?

They're big fans of soft targets, apparently.

4. Yeah, McConnell has his votes. Sigh -- the kabuki theater meme is so damned true! One day,

this will all be behind us. I can't wait ...

[pangaia]

5. Why is "kabuki" being used as a comparison?

Doesn't anybody understand what kabuki actually is?

[KPN]

8. Short answer: no! I think the real point is "theater".

How about this -- the elaborate, crafted drama that we have to watch routinely and the media calls it WH and Presidential news.

12. humm...

thanks.

Kabuki is highly serious, classical, very old art in Japan.. not like we think of theater in the West...

The Minami-za theater in Kyoto is over 400 years old.. and is a " Japanese Tangible Cultural Property ", something like a national treasure.

I always try to go there when I am in Kyoto...

10. The phrase...

The phrases Kabuki theater, kabuki dance, or kabuki play are sometimes used in political discourse to describe an event characterized more by showmanship than by content.


Thus are the U.S. politics of the Iran conflict a Kabuki performance, punctuated by occasional moments of Iranian jujitsu

13. Except that doesn't really describe kabuki. :)))))

Of course it isn't Noh, but nevertheless....
