Interesting that among the few advance plans we made are those that benefit Russia. See my longer essay on Oligarchic Corridors.

The US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined. Over half goes to defense contractors who routinely price-gouge the government. This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of β on steroids.
Hinojosa secured the Democratic nomination with 60.5% of the vote. Now all Texans need to do is show up to vote in November!
No surprise that the Kurds suggested Krasnov do something anatomically impossible. After he betrayed them so grievously in his first term.
Whatever the Iranian people's view their regime, approximately zero of them would support whatever replacement arrangement Trump offers them.
If I might paraphrase, "They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means."
OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.
