Trump is beyond the Pale.

In his own mind, I believe, he Thinks he IS the Law.

The Institutions that were supposed to Protect the System from Corruption and Demagoguery have Failed Miserably.

Now we have the Middle East in Flames and no End in Sight.

For What?

For WHOM?

Why did Trump Attack Iran?

Who Benefits?

Or is Trump just a Weak Man Easily Led into Stupid ---- by a Clever Flatterer?

A Flatterer so Poltroonish he Fled to Germany when the SHTF.

Our "Leaders" are So Brave.

Khamenei didn't even alter his Routine when he KNEW Death was Coming in the form of Missiles.

Now Missiles are Destroying the ME.

What Has God Wrought?

I'm sure Many mourn the death of Khamenei.

Just because You Don't doesn't mean Squat.

Within Iran itself I am certain many do genuinely mourn his death.

I don't have a clue what is going on but I just can't believe that Nobody mourns his death.

Islam is a mysterious thing, I'm in the process of trying to understand it.

I'm not really considering reverting but I am interested in Islamic Thought.

It's quite unlike Christianity, more Abstract but less personal.

There is No Salvation in Islam.

Everybody Gets Exactly What they Deserve.

No more or less. Like a great Cosmic Scale.

No concept of Original Sin. Man is born a blank slate.

TAWHID the concept of only ONE Divine Manifestation. No Father,Son,Holy Ghost.

Just ALLAH.

Redemption comes from Him alone through the five pillars of Islam and Good Works.

It's a Strict Creed,there are a Lot of Rules.

I'm Confused by it because it's Religious Doctrine is more Real to me than the Judeo-Christian one.

However I am Not a Muslim.

Unless of Course Murder IS the Goal.

Cuz' its not gonna bring back the Shah.

That's imIdiotic or just totally Delusional.

Why do so Many Americans think other countries will "Thank Them" for killing their leaders?

It's Idiotic. It wouldn't happen here if another country tried it. Obviously.

So why do they think other countries would behave in ways that clearly wouldn't happen here?

It's really Stupid. It gets a lot of people killed and it's a Lie.

Outside Murders of leaders unite Countries they don't divide them.

It's So obvious I don't know why they even try that stuff.

25 years old actually.

Don't these powers end eventually?

Isn't that like 23 years old.

Why Not pass a new one one?

Probably because it wouldn't give a Blank check for Aggression like the one just after 9/11/01.

Which should have Ended decades ago.

Congress is becoming totally Irrelevant to almost everything now that Trump is calling The SHOTS.

# 30 I honestly don't know. Shirgo was the top manager's name.

His first name. They were clannish and spoke among themselves in a language that was like Arabic but not Arabic.

They were from northern Iraq I Believe.

Genuinely okay, not bad people, but Elitist as Hell,they looked down on their American Workforce and didn't bother to soften the Tone At All.

Threats of Termination were the default way of Managing everyone.

A lot of people quit or got fired. I waited to be Sacked Myself.

But Do Not bring up Greater Kurdistan with them.

Big Problem.

The concept was like a Religion to them,especially Unfortunately, Shirgo.

Full Spectrum Dominance.

Because they Could...in the parlance.

Trump is a Criminal on every level.

How is half the country blind to this without being mentally Defective?

If this is American Civilization we're Doomed.

It's worse than Nazism actually, Germany had weak democratic traditions.

We Americans are So Proud of our Democratic Traditions and "Unique Freedoms".

To throw it all away because the first Civil War Was Never really decided is tragic and Stupid in Equal measure.

Naked Oligarchy sustained by Race Superiority and more importantly, Class Superiority.

Trump is the Figurehead of White Nationalism.

As Loathsome as Jeff Davis Himself.

The Bill Johnsons of the world are truly Clueless, or Complicit, if self aware enough to be Lucid.

Khamenei no matter his "Beliefs" was not as Evil as Trump or Bibi.

They seem to actually Worship Themselves.

Sick -----.

Khamenei met Death like he expected to Go Home.

No running away to a safe location.

No attempt to Escape the Closing Trap.

He faced Death without Flinching.

Now What?

Western Culture is poor at understanding the kind of Authentic Belief that this Man personified, Believe his Creed or Not, he was clearly on some level the Real Thing.

I Expect a Long War.

You support Trump like a Feeble Minded Patsy.

No Outrage is Enough, No Usurpation or Affront to Justice is Too Much.

You have Surrendered your ability to Think Critically about the False "Deity" you are in Thrall Of.

How did this Happen?

Spooky.

Trump smells like >IT

Disproportionate Killing is disgusting.

Collective Punishment is A War Crime.

Starvation as a weapon of war is a War Crime.

Destruction of critical infrastructure designed to destroy the means of Survival for a Civilian population is a War Crime.

Israel hasn't defeated Hamas in a Toe to Toe Fight.

They are poisoning the means of survival.

The Israeli "Elite", is open about their Desire to Annihilate "Amalek".

Netanyahu and Israel Katz, the foreign minister are under Indictment by the ICC.

The US is Sanctioning the ICC for Indicting them.

I worked for some Kurds years ago.

Arrogant,Master Race type people.

"Greater Kurdistan" was a Fetish with them.

So I just don't know What To Think, to be honest.

The people I worked for were okay but off putting.

I was kinda glad to get Fired.

#2 You like to play the Smartest person posting, so tell me,What EXACTLY are the Geopolitical Trends that made this inevitable?

In your own words please.

I'll wait.

This War isn't about protesters or freedom.

It's not even about Iranian Nukes.

Its about the Western Project in the ME,ie.Israel, having "Freedom of Action" to do whatever they want without Iran or anyone Checking them in any Way.

Full Spectrum Dominance,for the Squatter Colony.

An Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier in the Region.

Both Parties Support this...Trump happened to be Crazy Enough to Pull the Trigger but Democrats WILL vote to fund his play.

AIPAC is Watching and they take Names....

Trump and Bibi are Obscene Demagogues.

Ayatollah Khamenei is Not of their Stamp.

The Protests are still not clearly understood so making judgements about them is not Factual, it's Aspirational.

But I don't see the Same kind of EVIL in him that I Do in Trump and the Prime Minister of Israel.

They presume to be God themselves.

Trump believes he is God Himself.

That explains his behavior.

SOMEONE Tell Bill Johnson he is Worshipping the Wrong God.

Jesus isn't God.....Trump is;just ask Him.

Is Congress going to assert their Legal Perogatives or just let this totally illegal act by the President stand?

Congress has a role to play in War. Even if there is no Formal Declaration of War.

Why even have a Congress if the president can Tax,Spend, Start Wars,Fund them,and ignore Congress while attacking states with the National Guarda nd ICE that don't support his policies?

How far does Trump have go to be beyond the Pale for Congressional Republicans?

This is Way Past Shooting people on Fifth Avenue.

Trump is a clear and present Danger to the Entire World.

And Bill Johnson still thinks he cares about Iranians?

There's Stupid and then there's Bill.

#27 Examples.

You got actual proof?

Socialism is an economic system not a form of Government. Socialism varies widely in Application.

Nazism was Expansionist and EnthnoCentric. It Exalted the Volk. Meaning "Real" Germans er,Jews,er Americans.

Socialism is diverse, everything from Full on Communism to State ownership of some Industries that benefit from economies of Scale.

There is little diversity among the EthnoState Bigots,they all want the Subhumans to Die...

He should have been taken Home or allowed to call someone to pick him up.

Just dumping a disoriented and Diabled Man in a Parking Lot in Frigid Weather had foreseeable negative consequences.

It was Callous indifference to his obvious need for assistance.

You know this.

If your Mother,Your Brother,Your Father were dumped like trash to Die? Would you still defend the people who did it?

You defend this because you have lost your Humanity.

Because you accept Trump's Framing of some Lives as of little or No Value.

I mean this very Sincerely.

---- OFF NAZI TRASH.

YOU SHAME THIS COUNTRY.

The longer this ---- continues, the more people will Turn on Israel.

Sympathy can't be Mandated. "Correct" thinking isn't Enforceable.

Eventually Israel will stand alone, without allies, if they don't Moderate their Tone and Behavior.

Even the Old Testament God got Sick of them.

Wow, is God Antisemitic?

It's about being a Trained Prop.

Sit, Stand, on Demand.

Like a trained Animal expecting a fish.

Big Daddy Trump showing his Juice at the SOTU address.

No Wrong Notes!

We got their Back.

Pinky Swear.

They should start the War themselves;

Trump has their Back. They have Nothing to Worry About,.. Trump's got this.

He's Really True to his Word.

Will Bibi Believe?

Are Blacks still 2/3 of a person for purposes of Representation?

It Miscegenation still Illegal?

Can Women,Trans or Otherwise Vote yet?

This is Prehistoric Thinking, like the "ideas" Above.

Take away one group's Freedoms to Exist without Censure, and Everyone's are in Grave Danger.

Civil Rights are NOT OPTIONAL.

They are Not PRIVILEGES.

People Died for these Freedoms.

Now they just want to give a Clown Slumlord the Power to Define American Freedoms All by HIMSELF.

WTF!

It's all about being the "Cool Kids".

This Whole Thing is High, or Really, Middle School, level thinking.

Punks.

... Usurping Powers from the People in the Name of "Security".

Moneyed Interests Dominating the "Little People" with their own Connivance in many Cases. How Stupid is THAT?

It's really that simple. Hitler would Approve. Germany had no history of self government.

America has Centuries of Representive Goverment.

The Founders of this Country would Fight Them.

No doubt in my Mind.

Where are the Patriots?
