Studying, writing on, & warning about the Christian Supremacist right since 2004. Before that, in late 90s I warned of global warming. Now, I'm hunkering down to weather the storm, & raising giant isopods in my basement, for fun and profit.
That charge is at least somewhat contested.
The US & Israel just crossed a line. We can expect retaliation, and the water desalinization infrastructure of the Gulf States is quite fragile.
Sociopaths. They're sociopaths.
That would be nice, rare silver lining.
Yeah. It's big. And getting bigger by the moment. The 4 biggest Gulf states are considering pulling their $ out of American investments. They're deeply alarmed. As they should be.
Plus, the Trump/Epstein war is shutting down about 25% of world oil production.
"Yeah, I have to sacrifice American lives to create fascism. Whatever."
Haha.

I don't think many people are now buying it.
"Breaking Bad" is the story of an American innovator
(Walter White) who saves a critical American industry from foreign competition.
Retired lower to mid-level intelligence analysts are among the best sources for comprehensive geopolitical assessment and analysis I have found.
This guy pulls no punches. Watch:
She's always had one. She's just short on scruples.

Saudi Arabia is so freaked out by the Trump/Epstein war that they're considering (Financial Times) pulling Saudi US investments. So, I think they might hang onto Tate for a bit.
I nominate this one.
We're winning like we've never won before.
I'm not going to say it (superstitious fear about spoken words making things manifest) but I'm hoping to god Netanyahu is not as insane as I fear he might be.
Over at Twitter/X, "Grok" keeps giving simultaneous, contradictory answers, such as to the question, "Is this video, of an Iraqi missile/Shahed strike, real?" Grok tells 1 person, "yes", another person "no"...at the same time! Of course - Grok's an autocomplete machine, that's all.
You got it.
I think I assumed most people were at least somewhat aware of this "narrative of complaint" (or blame) which resembles the
post-WW1 German "stab in the back" narrative which blamed alleged Jewish treachery for the German loss in the 1st World War - a narrative that inspired Hitler & his Nazis.
Remember when, back in 2000, George W. Bush ran for the presidency on "no nation-building"?
Yick.
It's hardly surprising that their coverup attempt is incompetent.
This "narrative of blame" has festered in sectors of the US defense community for a half-century.
I was outlining a narrative of blame which became common in the Pentagon after the Vietnam War. I'm not making it up - this was, and is, a real thing. It's the background to what Hegseth was saying. The narrative is that the US has to make massive human rights violations a part of its war-fighting.
It's why Kash Patel fired all the experts tasked with preventing Iranian reprisal terrorism, and Trump put a 22 year-old grocery clerk in charge of the terrorism prevention program (see: www.propublica.org/article/trum...
They dream of and salivate over unleashing A-10 "Warthog" gunships on America's inner cities, and filling their new concentration camps with administration critics.
This goes back to the accusation that the US lost the Vietnam War because soft liberals prevented "us" from using nuclear weapons on North Vietnamese cities or massacring entire villages, Mai Lai-style, as standard, accepted practice.
The "Beetoota Advocate"?
Why not both? If there's one thing these marginally competent (at best) people are capable of, it's being sneaky and sloppy at the same time.
