Iran So Far Away: 2026

Iran is keeping it closed because Bibi is razing Beirut to the ground and that stopping was one of the supposed agreements.

  • Dump made up a new Iranian proposal to TACO.
  • Iran said fine we'll go with it but only if all the attacks stop or we will fuck you.
  • Bibi wants his genocide to keep rolling to not die in prison.
  • Iran said so be it.
  • Dump lies about all of it.

Problem is, Dump wants to be Emperor for Life to not die in prison. So he's not going anywhere unless we get rid of him, and we can't while the pussified GOP still has any power, because they are sucking off his knob.

The New York Times has just published the most damning account of Trump since the war began. And it's a bombshell.

Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman, two White House journalists, reveal how Trump made the decision to go to war against Iran. What they describe is exactly what I analyze in The Puppet of the White House.

Here are the facts.

Netanyahu sold a dream. On February 11, in the Situation Room, the Israeli Prime Minister presented a four-act scenario: kill the Supreme Leader, destroy the Iranian army, spark a popular revolution, install a new regime. He even showed a montage video featuring the "future leaders" of Iran. Trump responded: "Sounds good to me." In one sentence, he had just sealed the fate of the region.

The next day, the CIA said it was hot air. Parts 3 and 4 of Netanyahu's pitch—the popular revolution and regime change—were labeled a "farce" by Ratcliffe himself. Rubio translated: "In other words, it's bullshit." General Caine added: "It's the standard Israeli procedure. They oversell, and their plans aren't always well developed.

"Trump heard. And he still said yes.

Vance saw it all. The vice president was the only one in the room to outright oppose it, warning that the war could "destroy Trump's political coalition," that the Strait of Hormuz was the real vulnerability, that no one could predict Iranian retaliation when a regime's survival was at stake. He said: "You know I think this is a bad idea. But if you want to do it, I'll back you.

"This isn't political courage. It's deference.

Susie Wiles watched. The chief of staff, who had concerns, felt it "wasn't her role" to voice them on a military decision in front of the others. She "encouraged the advisors to share their views." She stayed silent.

General Caine never said no. He laid out the risks: depleted munitions stocks, Strait of Hormuz, no clear path to victory. Then he said: "If you order the operation, the military will execute.

"Trump, meanwhile, "only heard what he wanted to hear."

And Trump signed off aboard Air Force One, 22 minutes before the deadline set by his own general: "Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck.

"That's how you go to war in the 21st century. Not with solemn deliberation. Not with a congressional vote. Not with an exit strategy. With a Netanyahu slideshow, a "sounds good to me," and a note sent from an airplane.

In The Puppet of the White House, I write that the real decision-makers are those who prepare the presentations Trump watches. Netanyahu understood that better than anyone. He staged an hour of visual spectacle in the Situation Room with Mossad as the backdrop, videos of "future leaders," a promise of quick and clean victory.

And Trump said yes. While Vance, Rubio, Wiles, and Caine watched.
 
The only new information I gleaned from that article is that if your name is Susan, or any variation of it, and you're a white Republican woman working in politics, it's likely that you're concerned.
 
Of all the stupid wars that America has been involved in this one is the stupidest.

Of course, there is the stupidity of the other side. Did Iran really think Trump wasn't that dumb? Seriously?

The entire planet is stupid but America is the stupidest. We're supposed to know better.
 
Fascist Israel tells residents of southern Beirut to evacuate in advance of strikes on Lebanon. Fascist Iran points out that this violates the ceasefire Dump is allegedly negotiating under.

Meanwhile, Dump fiddles and criticizes NATO for non-support. This is going to end the way Putin wants - with the US dissolving its NATO membership by executive fiat.

No. Your anger at America is another obsolete form of American Exceptionalism. One result of Dump being elected is we can no longer hold the US to a higher standard. That exposed, twice, that we are neither exceptionally good nor bad nor smart nor dumb nor productive nor lazy nor curious nor complacent.

We're just another country. Political borders are imaginary lines projected on a real world. That world is a rough 2:7:1 mix of saints, potted plants, and psychopaths. There is local variance but it doesn't correlate with anything. Writ large, no group of howler monkeys is any different from any other.

Noblesse oblige died at Ypres.

See how reasonable these guys are? They both sides in private too!
 
Saw a report the the American Government will start automatically registering male citizens between 18-26 for the draft in December (all males between 18-25 are already required to register).

So, they can figure out who is eligible for the draft on their own, but can't figure out who can vote, so everyone has to prove they are eligible to vote? This is asinine.....
