Ah yes the “I’ve left Australia for Dubai because taxes” crowd are whining that

a. the Australian government isn’t coming to get them and

b. The UAE government isn’t doing anything to look after them.

Tiny, tiny violins.

The media loves war. When I was a teen I first saw this from the orgy they threw up on our screens for the first Iraq war. They repeated it with Afghanistan then Iraq. Make no mistake: they fucking love wars.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Reminder that none of things that Trump and his goons want Americans to be afraid of are responsible for bombing Iran. TRUMP DID THAT.

Chris Murphy speaking to reporters

Murphy: “ppl now see Trump for who he is — a would be dictator who doesn’t care what Americans think, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, & sees himself as a kind of 18th century king, with unlimited power to drag all of us into disastrous wars overseas without the consent of the ppl”

So a paedophile fascist teams up with a genocidal fascist to bomb theocratic fascists.

So much for human fucking progress.

No, they keep him under wraps. Clearly the targets are the next level down, those who turn strategies into tactics

Western intel on Iranian leaders is fairly thin. They're more likely to be in their offices during the day

Everything is clear except for:
1. What is the legal justification for war?
2. What is the political objective of the war/what are the conditions for victory?
3. What is the exit strategy?
4. How sustainable is the use of force over time?
5. How is US national security threatened by Iran?

This guy is hard up against the structural, not temporal, problem with RW politics: people have stopped voting for you because you have gone too far, so if you keep putting up the same policies you will keep losing

Finally, a way to bully and traumatize some of the most vulnerable children in the country! All the tough guys must feel so tough now.

People in the richest and most powerful country in history should not be eating offal. Kennedy's statement should be the equivalent of "let them eat cake"
