Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, repeatedly warned Trump that Iran would likely disrupt the Strait of Hormuz in response to a U.S. attack, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.
Trump, 79, told his administration that he thought Iran would capitulate to the U.S. before it closed the Strait, adding that even if the Strait was threatened, the U.S. military could handle it.
We are rapidly approaching the decision point between fighting and dying for Trump and hesgeth in Iran or fighting in Washington for ourselves.
Fighting in Washington was always on the table and it is clear by now that there are no takers.
We are waiting for the Midterms. There is no sense in blowing up America now, when we still have a couple of legal options left. If we get through the Midterms and 2028, we might be able to rebuild.
But if they somehow manage to cheat their way out of the Midterm bloodbath, there will be serious repercussions, and if they steal the 2028 election, it’s all over. Then we have nothing to lose, and it’s Civil War.
Also, if they cancel/suspend an election. We’ve never done that in American history, not even during the Civil War. That is a bright red line, that must not be crossed. If he announces that elections are cancelled, then we no longer have a democracy, America is dead, and it’s Civil War.
I wonder how many foreigners you guys are willing to sacrifice. You know that without the US’ support, the genocide in Gaza would not be possible, right?
The worst people in the world have taken control of our country. The good citizens of America are trying desperately to take it back, and we will, one way or another.
And when we do, we are going to INSIST that this country move decisively in a better direction. No more business as usual. After what we’ve been through, and put the world through, it will be time for serious reform in every way.
I wish the Democrats would have a clear agenda on that. A few fundamental fixes to the system to prevent another decent into lawlessness (thins like elections on a Sunday, no corporate money in politics, strong demonopolisation, especially in media,…). But I haven’t seen anything “radical” from them yet.
Better not wear black when talking like that.
Doing nothing might have its merits.
Let the Islamacists and American imperialists fight it out.
Work to cushion yourselves. Spring is 6 days away. more sun for solar and gardening—better cycling weather too.
Bush had a stupid war in Iraq about 20 years ago.
Trump is having a stupid war in Iran.
Perhaps when stupid Americans vote another idiot as GOP President, in 10 to 20 years (we might even have a President Vance), America will get it’s ass kicked by yet another country fighting asymmetrically.
wt:plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
