14. I don't contest any of your assumptions

but I just don't see WHY: why would the US go looking for a shooting war with anyone? Aren't three consecutive major losses and multiple little ones sufficient to prove that wars of aggression are not only un-American, they are stupid and unwinnable, not to mention unsupported by the rest of the world? And there's certainly no support at home for such foolishness.

And with what army are the CIA and State Department going to conduct that war? The limp and broken remains of the US forces? Drones? Mercenaries? Who is going to pay for it?

And now, in a fit of rage, Israel is again taking its frustrations out on Gaza, the common whipping boy for genocidal idiots. The rest of the world, barely staying alive, has little or nothing to say about that. Israel won't admit it would rather be bombing Tehran...


The 1% must be crazy. Are all these events and stratagems you list just the banksters feeling their oats?


Whose country is it, anyway? Whose army, who is in charge? Not the grinning idiot in the WH, I think...or he is much worse than I thought.
