Understand history to stay on the right side of it. I've worked in justice & homelessness. A lifetime ago I studied American Studies. Always curious. No dms, grifts etc. πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ "Hey USA, have you tried turning yourself off & back on again?"

I've been off BS a few days. Can anyone update me on how Maga are framing the fall of the loved Musk? The chainsaw weilding destroyer of jobs, civil & social services? The poor little billionaire? (The news today reads like those Epstein court documents where they fought over their victims).

Which countries have nuclear weapons? There are 9 countries armed with nuclear warheads. Find out which countries have nuclear weapons still and what this could mean for everyone.

Who has the nukes? Seven of these countries have authoritarian or dubious leadership. USA is supporting some of the dubious countries. Iran isn't about nukes. www.icanw.org/nuclear_arse...

I've been listening to a BBC podcast on Iran. They interviewed citizens of USA, Iran, & Russia. The Iranian women were terrified and said "Israel rules the skies" "USA only knows force". "We want to live in peace". I encourage you to broaden your news diet outside your borders; no armchair outrage.

Like all career criminals Trump just sees weakness and how to manipulate it. He hates maga really, and the Bible belt. He's using them and vice versa. That's how crime works. He gets empowered by weakness.

No superpower should have 5000 nukes. They can do whatever they like and are (Gaza, Ukraine). And many of us will contribute our children or grandchildren to the coming insanity. But hey, at least your town has job prospects (military).

The Budget Bill will give
HUGE tax breaks to billionaires who are the β€˜Masters of War’ and the profiteers. Now they’ll have to cut more domestic spending.

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

It's true. I put down alcohol around that age. The PTSD had already kicked in about age 16 and got worse. I had to find health as the coping mechanisms became the problem. Aged 50 is better. Stronger and wiser and glad to be alive despite the world.

My kids school has been modernized and it's cold in winter. The kids are not allowed to wear waterproof coats or bring things to keep them warm. I swear the whole world is trending to the right, not just politically, but in the mind set.

So the ONLY country to ever use a nuke against another country (America) is accusing another country (Iran) of threatening world peace by developing nukes.

And America is telling Iran to stop threatening Israel, while ignoring Israel's genocide against Palestine.

See. His target is Iran's allies and their allies. He's stirring them up for his purpose.

Iran issues warning to 'gambler' Trump: We will end this war Iran said that the U.S. attack on its nuclear sites expanded the range of legitimate targets for its armed forces and called President Donald Trump a "gambler" for joining Israel's military campaign against the Islamic Republic.

Attempting to strangle the Strait could send global oil prices skyrocketing, derail the world economy and invite conflict with the US Navy's massive Fifth Fleet based in nearby Bahrain reut.rs/3TCsZuW 9/9

Sweden's former PM:

"Netanyahu attacked Iran not to prevent a nuclear weapon but to prevent a nuclear agreement."

BREAKING: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps announces it has, for the first time, used multi-warhead Kheibar ballistic missiles to strike strategic Israeli sites across occupied Palestine.

Hardly stealth if the international media can broadcast exactly where they're parked. I don't want to minimize what trump does next but it will be wholesale incompetence.

The important point is that the people's vote did not place Farage in power.
