The Kurds don't have a country of their own.
The only reason the Jews have a country of their own is because American fundamentalist Christians are politically organized enough to make it so.

Israel is the definition of terrorism. It has to be in order to defend itself. The very idea of Israel is a bad idea. Putting a religious resort in western Asia is a stupid idea. 1948 was a mistake and instead of admitting that it was a bad idea, supporters rationalize.
So, I guess that Putin IS being consistent.
He doesn't like western countries near Russian borders, whether it's Ukraine or Iran.
Am I supposed to support the country that's wrong just because it's my country?
I'm glad that Russia and China are supplying information to the Iranians.

Tel Aviv is damaged considerably.
Might makes right, huh Israel?

I think it's important to remember that Iran hasn't been attacking neighboring countries. They've been attacking American military bases in neighboring countries.
Big difference.
Israel is a dumb idea to begin with.
Putting a religious resort in western Asia for European Jews is a dumb idea.
So, if Fetterman wants to call me "anti-Israel," then, yeah... I'm against dumb ideas.
But if 2027 is supposed to be our 1979 and already, in 2026, we have $90 a barrel, how bad can it get?
You see now?
We're in a time warp.
We always are
It's just that this generation is vibing quite a bit with late 70's and early 80's

I hope to God this is true.
The generals should step in NOW and just take Trump and the rest of his administration out of power because he is a danger to humanity and the planet

Capitalism worked better when there weren't that many people on the planet. So, Trump and Putin have agreed to start World War Three and kill off all these people. They'll be safe down in their bunkers, waiting for the radiation to clear. There's nothing we can do to stop that.
That's my take.
Sleepwalking into World War Three.
I'll be there at the protest here in Tucson...if we're still alive.
There won't be any "self-inflicted damage" if there is nobody there to stop them. And they will stay a long time. We saw this in Iraq.
The rationale they use for Ukraine is they don't want NATO on their border. Why are they going to tolerate the US in Iran?
CNN is saying 60% of Americans don't like Trump's attack on Iran.
No, Speaker Johnson, it doesn't play into the hands of the enemy. It shows the enemy what democracy is about.

Greenland and rare earths.
Venezuela and oil.
Nigeria, a member of OPEC, was attacked.
But Iran is not about oil? Right.
Greenland was about rare earths and natural resources.
Venezuela was about oil. They even told us that.
Nigeria, a member of OPEC, was attacked.
The way he kisses up to the Saudis.
But somehow, Iran is not about oil?

If I were Iran, I would be focusing on sinking some oil tankers.
The most noble thing it could do is to remind the west that it has an addiction to oil.
It would sink the US economy.

$76 a barrel now.
$200 a barrel? Is that where it's going?
That is one heavy burden we're carrying for Israel
*whistles an old tune from the late 90's as I walk away*
The closing of the Strait of Hormuz is a bit like the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979, huh?
It's like holding the global economy hostage.
There are only so many ways that this could end.
I have some ideas, but I'd rather leave that open for you to speculate on.
On the flip side of that, nothing gets done. We need a landslide in November.
What usually happens if they do say that they support the Palestinian cause is that they'll change their minds once they get in there. They'll do it just to get elected
