Happy new war

Yeah, great, just what we all needed, Israel and the US swinging its collective dick once again… Conceding that Khamenei was an entire piece of shit, I still feel like this is a less than ideal solution to him (worked so well in Iraq, eh). You can’t even say Iran will be better off cos who can say that whoever comes next won’t be as bad if not worse. But this wasn’t going to not happen, was it? There’s been so much talk about it that it was bound to happen sooner or later, though I don’t know if people expected it quite so soon…

…or maybe someone did, and has been duly financially rewarded as a result.

But yeah, Trump was going to do this eventually. He was going to start a way so that he could then end the war and claim his Nobel Peace Prize. Indeed, he’s been predicting it himself for over a decade:

As they say, “there’s always a Tweet”. And also…

Woof. That’s a bit more blunt than some commenters about this being a distraction from the Epstein thing, but it’s not necessarily wrong… though some would tell me off for thinking so:

But surely no one minimises the situation as much as the regime does. I mean, Mushroom Cock and Bibi wouldn’t even have considered those hundred plus schoolgirls who were killed in that one attack to have been human in the first place. They wouldn’t even be considered collateral damage. Of course, you can take an even worse approach to the matter:

So… the school was on a military base that was the real target and no kids wer killed, but if they were that was kind of their tough shit, apparently, for being a legitimate military target. Is that what Emily’s saying? I see claims that the base was also a medical facility, though I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it still doesn’t exactly make the situation better. As i also saw someone say on BS, either the US/Israel attacked this place without knowing there was a school full of students there on a day when they would’ve been there (apparently Saturday is the first day of the week in the Iranian calendar), or they did know and didn’t care. Intelligence failure vs humanity & morality failure. I’m actually inclined to believe the latter is more the case.

And with all due respect to Greg, and I do respect him:

I’m as sick of doomerism as he is, especially when, frankly, I engage in it myself, but… I’m even more sick of there being neither precedent nor process for Trump to do the things he keeps doing anyway. He can’t do this war he’s doing right now. That’s not stopping him. They’re still trying to get rid of Kilmar Abrego Garcia after a judge said they’d illegally deported him to El Savador. I keep seeing people say “the Constitution doesn’t let TrumpCorp do XYZ” as if they think Trump et all give a fuck about the rule of law when it comes to them. You want to complain about people being “doomers” in the face of… *vaguely gestures*… then you need to offer them something more than the threat of being blocked on social media.

And what have Krasnov’s underlings had to say?
