In Topics: Trump The Neocons
No, this is not what we voted for. I really expected President Trump-47 to lay low this time, even if just for the reason that he’s got so much else on his plate. A few months ago when the bombs were let loose on Iran, it was over quickly. I figured Trump was humoring Israel with that. He’s obviously really beholden to them or they’ve got him convinced that “those mullahs simply cannot have nuclear weapons.” That would likely be a bad thing, but not so much for America if we’d just stayed OUT OF ALL THIS.
It surreal to hear the same thing out of Trump as has been heard from all the NeoCons over the last 35 years. “Operation Epic Fury”, “Regime change.” “You guys go ahead and have your revolution - we got your back.”, “If you kill or threaten Americans, then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you” says War Secretary Pete Hegseth. Wait, which Americans, the ones who are over there attacking Iran? The best one was “The bombings will continue until peace is achieved.”
Trump may be thinking that this will be over quickly, as last time but then again, as with Venezuela, he’s talking about running the place! (Luckily his attention span is not that long - watch Venezuela.)
It may not end quickly - will the American military start to suffer some serious losses?
It is funny to see the D-party ctrl-left politicians go all Constitutionalist now. They’d have had no problem with these attacks had their man been in office. Then, soon we will see the Protest Industrial complex get in gear - see CCP-Linked NGO Network Prepares "Emergency Protests" In US After Trump's Iran Strikes Jeopardize Oil Flows To China. They may seem in alliance with the anti-war MAGA and REAL Conservative crowd, but they’re just there, as with the “George Floyd riots to pro-Palestine protests to anti-Tesla protests to anti-Trump protests and anti-Elon Musk protests to anti-DOGE protests to anti-ICE protests/riots”, to sow discord. We’ve got enough discord already without these foreign-run NGOs.
Well, I’ll leave things with this comment by Mr. Anon from this thread:
So – let me guess: We are now destroying the nuclear facilities that we totally destroyed last summer to prevent Iran from building the nuclear weapon that it has been one month away from building for the last thirty years.This is not a great note on which to end the blog week. We’ll try to get off the immediate news next week - I want to review Empire of Dust for one thing, and there’s much general stupidity demanding our attention. Thanks for reading and (more occasionally now) writing in.

About that German Psychologist who is temporarily living in the Gell-Mann (no, that’s not it) house in Los Angeles you mentioned - is that someone you know personally, Dieter?
