This is getting a little closer to the Best Case Outcome for the oncoming shitstorm.  The Worst Case Outcome is Global Famine, Riots & civil Wars, Food & Fuel rationing, shortages of basic medicines like Insulin and Antibiotics, and rampant disease epidemics.

A lesson Trumpolini obviously never learned.

Actually, the Japanese & the Germans were quite good at war.  Their mistake was that they were up against opponents with more resources and larger populations and they bit off more than they could chew.  Had the Germans not gone after Russia and the Japanese stuck to taking over China, the outcome would have been quite different.

The real mistake was the Brits giving Palestine to the European Jews as a homeland.  Dropping them smack in the middle of their mortal enemies.  They could have  just as easily handed them the South Island of New Zealand where almost nobody was living in 1944.  Just the Brits and Amerikans wanted a beachhead in MENA from which they could control Oil flowing from MENA.  Populating it with Zionists who would build a military state was the way to do that.

Quote from: K-DogEvery year on May 15, Palestinians around the world mark the Nakba, or catastrophe, referring to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948.

The losers of wars often have different perspctives on what actually happened compared to the winners.

It would be more accurate if they marked the attempt to ethnically cleanse the Jews with the help of 5 Arab nations and BOY was sucking at war you started a mistake. No different than what the Japanese must celebrate on December 7th each year. Great victory! As opposed to each Auguust 6th or 9th.


The Arab-Israeli War of 1948
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948. In 1947, and again on May 14, 1948, the United States had offered de facto recognition of the Israeli Provisional Government, but during the war, the United States maintained an arms embargo against all belligerents.

On the first day of the U.S.-Israel war of aggression on Iran, at 11 am local time, tomahawk cruise missiles fired by the U.S. military struck an elementary school in the town of Minab. Minab is situated in southern Iran , near the Strait of Hormuz.  The attack killed 168 students and teachers. Most of the victims were little girls. The Trump regime initially denied any role in the attack and suggested that the Iranian military was responsible,. but U.S. military officials soon acknowledged that the U.S. was responsible for the school's destruction. U.S. officials claimed, however, that the attack was a 'mistake'.

Here is a news report on the school.  You can evaluate what this video says because watching the documentary video gives you the facts.

• EXCLUSIVE: Minab School & Former Military Camp Attack — School Converted 18 Years Ago, Medical Warehouses Destroyed, Children Killed
  Reporter: Demetri Lceris | Outlet: Reason to Resist
  Date of Recording: March 28, 2026 | Location: Minab, Iran
  
  1. SCHOOL COMPLEX ATTACK — CONVERTED FROM MILITARY CAMP 18 YEARS AGO
  A school complex in Minab was attacked, with multiple missiles striking the school building, a schoolyard, and adjacent warehouses. The facility was a military camp 18 years ago but was evacuated and converted entirely to civilian use. The site includes a school for both boys and girls, a medical supply warehouse, and a store for Ministry of Education staff. Despite the presence of a high wall with old barbed wire giving the exterior a military appearance, the interior shows no evidence of military use at the time of the attack.
  
  Key Facts:
  
  • Location: Minab, Iran
    
  • Former Use: Military camp (evacuated 18 years ago; transferred to Shiraz)
    
  • Current Use at Time of Attack: School (boys and girls), medical warehouse, Ministry of Education staff store, residential area
    
  • Exterior Appearance: 10-foot concrete wall with rusty old barbed wire; faded paint; resembles old military base or low-security jail from outside
    
  • Interior Condition: Overgrown grass and weeds; broken windows; rusted equipment; no evidence of heavy vehicle activity or military equipment storage
    
  • Number of Missiles: At least 4 reported (3 hit the school; 1 hit adjacent warehouse)

  The school complex included facilities for both boys and girls, with separate yards and floors.
  
  School Layout:
  
  • First Floor: Girls' classrooms
    
  • Second Floor: Boys' classrooms
    
  • Girls' Yard: Visible from main entrance; included soccer pitch and basketball net

  3. MEDICAL WAREHOUSE & MINISTRY OF EDUCATION STORE — DESTROYED
  Adjacent to the school, two warehouses were also targeted. These were civilian facilities storing medical supplies and staff goods.
  
  Warehouse Descriptions:
  
  • Warehouse 1 (Medical Supply Warehouse): Destroyed; located approximately 300 meters from the school
    
    • Contents observed in rubble: eye drops, pills, medical undergarments (adult diapers), syrup (labeled "expectant"), pharmaceutical supplies
    • Described by locals as a medicine warehouse
    
    
  • Warehouse 2 (Ministry of Education Store): Destroyed; a store for teachers and staff of the Ministry of Education
    
    • Type: "Tauboni" — subsidized store providing goods for education staff
    
    
  • Adjacent Building (Warehouse Area): Included a prayer room with Quranic verses, carpets, couch, old television, clock, map on wall, and a photograph of a martyr from the Iran-Iraq War (commander named Ibrahim)
    
  Additional Structures at Site:
  
  • Old water tower (rustic, obviously old)
  • Antenna on warehouse roof (described by locals as standard infrastructure for providing network and internet to citizens; not military equipment)
  • Prayer room with direction marker (qibla)
  
  4. INTERVIEW WITH FATHER OF SCHOOL CHILDREN (DISTRAUGHT WITNESS)
  
  Account of the Attack:
  
  • Arrived at the scene immediately after the explosion
  • Despite risk of another attack, locals from children to parents all came to help
  • Children were found dismembered — some without heads, some without hands
  
  Sequence of Explosions:
  
  • First Missile: Targeted the school
    
  • Second Missile: Targeted a warehouse (medical warehouse area)
    
  • Third Missile: Targeted another house/residential structure
    
  Rescue Efforts:
  
  • Locals destroyed a section of the wall (the hole visible on camera) to allow vehicles to enter for rescue operations
  • Cars were used to help children trapped in rubble
  
  5. INTERVIEW WITH ALI (PRESS TV CORRESPONDENT & REPORTER'S COLLEAGUE)
  
  Ali, a colleague of the reporter from Press TV, provided additional investigation findings about the site.
  
  Key Information from Ali:
  
  • This was the first time journalists were permitted to access the area behind the wall for thorough inspection
  • No one prevented the reporter from going anywhere on the grounds once inside
  
  Former Military Camp Confirmation:
  
  • Locals confirmed the site was a military camp 18 years ago
  • The camp was evacuated and transferred to Shiraz
  • Since then, the entire area has been converted to civilian use: school, medical warehouse, Ministry of Education store, and residential
  
  Antenna Explanation:
  
  • Antennas like the one visible on the warehouse roof are found throughout Iran
  • They provide network and internet services to citizens
  • Ali confirmed this antenna served no military purpose
  
  Grass and Weed Condition:
  
  • The overgrown grass and weeds on the site indicate the area has not been used for military purposes for years
  • Heavy vehicles such as tanks or missile launchers would have left visible tracks and flattened vegetation
  
  6. INTERVIEW WITH TIM (REPORTER'S COLLEAGUE)
  
  Tim, a colleague of the reporter, joined the inspection and offered his conclusions.
  
  Tim's Observations:
  
  • From the outside, the facility looks like a prison or military facility (high wall, old barbed wire)
  • Once inside, the evidence confirms the site was converted to a school at least 13 years ago
  • Three missiles hit the school; a fourth hit an adjacent building
  • The adjacent building contained medical supplies (injectables, pads, medicines) — evidence it was handed over to the health department after military evacuation
  • No evidence of military facilities in either the school site or adjacent building
  
  On Surveillance Capabilities:
  
  • Tim stated that from satellite, it would be "very obvious" this was a school
  • Satellite imagery would show children and schoolyard features
  • He suggested the attack was a cover-up attempt; initial claims blamed Iran for using a Tomahawk missile on its own school
  • He questioned: "What business have the US got being in any sort of military capacity on the other side of the world anyway if they can't tell the difference between a school and a military facility?"
  
  7. REPORTER'S CLOSING SEGMENT — EXTERIOR APPEARANCE VS. REALITY
  
  The reporter concluded with observations from outside the facility, contrasting its exterior appearance with the interior reality.
  
  Exterior Appearance:
  
  • 10-foot concrete wall
  • Old, rusty barbed wire (clearly aged, not recently installed)
  • Faded paint
  • From outside, could be mistaken for a military facility or low-security jail
  
  Reporter's Conclusion:
  
  • "If you didn't have sophisticated satellite technology and were simply walking around, you might be forgiven for mistaking this for a military facility if you were just walking around it on the outside."
  • "But if you have sophisticated satellite technology, I don't know how anybody could come to the conclusion that this was a military facility."
  • The interior showed no military use — only overgrown grass, broken windows, rusted equipment, children's art, crayons, flowers, and medical supplies.

Quotebelieved they could wage and win a war easily just by being "based chads" (i.e., white dudes with retrograde attitudes about literally everything) who would avoid all the weak, woke, DEI-informed mistakes made in previous conflicts by such lily-livered libtards as, um, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

Trump has taken "ignorance is strength" as far as it can be taken.  Embracing the dark side has taken Trump as far as he can go.  Time for the crash.  This part is priceless:

QuoteAn Iranian military spokesman taunted Trump last week, rejecting an American 15-point peace plan by asking: "Has the level of your inner struggle reached ‌the ⁠stage of you negotiating with yourself?"

But to do his badness Trump does not negotiate with himself.  That is too much like introspection, and Trumps rejection of all things intellectual won't have any of that.  Success for Trump is reduced to getting what he wants.  You would like to think there is more to Trump, sadly there is not.  There is no thought of others at all except on how their light can reflect on him.  Not a lot of thought of anything except winning, which Trump confuses with making a deal.

QuoteThe MAGA worldview proudly refuses to engage with history, expresses contempt for all forms of academic or professional expertise and embraces a metaphysical faith in its god-emperor's ability to reshape reality to suit his needs or desires.

In other words, Satan worship.

Especially not the mockery, pity and terror it provokes in others. It now seems clear there was internal disagreement about launching this war in the first place, and that there's now widespread internal bewilderment about how to end it.  Trump and Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio and whomever else were lured into this war by Benjamin Netanyahu, pushed into it by the billionaire donors of the Israel lobby and, more than anything else, seduced into it by massive institutional incompetence and their thoroughly unfounded belief in their own awesomeness. As one Bluesky poster put it in early March, those guys believed they could wage and win a war easily just by being "based chads" (i.e., white dudes with retrograde attitudes about literally everything) who would avoid all the weak, woke, DEI-informed mistakes made in previous conflicts by such lily-livered libtards as, um, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

Well written and accurate take down of the ongoing buffoonery and stupidity that characterizes the Trumpolini presidency, along with the institutional failures of the rest of Da Goobermint and the Press that are supposed to protect democracy from wannabee dictators.  Should be required reading for everyone who voted for the Cretin-in-Chief.

RE

This is a good read.  Accurate and well written.  American's at the time did not understand the context of the revolution.  The Shah was portrayed in America the way the British Royal family was and Iran was a far away place.  For most Americans the Iranian revolution was like a bolt of lightning in a blue sky.  Knowledge of the Shah's excesses was not common knowledge.
