If we were in Lebanon I suspect we might have a bit of difficulty staying patient.

Trump claims he can control IDF actions in Lebanon because Israelis respect him

Nonetheless, Israel said to rebuff private US request to withdraw from Lebanon; president says relationship with Netanyahu is ‘good, but we have to keep him a little bit sane’


Chump and "respect" in the same sentence is an oxymoron. 🙄

Iran pushes plan to charge billions for Strait of Hormuz management as Trump denies fee scheme

Iran's negotiations over Hormuz management would give Tehran unprecedented control over a chokepoint through which 20 percent of global oil normally flows. The regime is examining international models, including Turkey's Dardanelles arrangement and the Malacca Straits Patrol, to justify the arrangement.


Now back to our regularly scheduled war.

Sounds about as informed as when folks claimed the world was ending because there wasn't more oil to be produced. Trump is itching for using nukes, doomers itching for the end of the world...whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Medical Experts Declare President Trump Too Unstable to Remain in Office, Cite Nuclear Weapons Risks

A group of 36 leading physicians and other doctors with expertise in mental health issued a statement calling for President Donald J. Trump’s immediate, lawful removal from office for medical reasons. His mental instability, coupled with his sole, unchecked authority to launch nuclear weapons, makes him a clear and present danger to the safety of all Americans.

While I don't think it's necessary to be a Doctor with years of experience dealing with mentally unstable and disturbed individuals to recognize that Trumpolini poses a genuine threat as someone who would use a Nuke to demonstrate he's the biggest, toughest bully on the block, it's also pretty clear  that someone who has admitted his expertiese is limited to the narrrow field of Rocks for Jocks isn't the best choice of people to evaluate the likelihood of the Warmonger-in-Chief deciding he needs to glaze over Tehran as the "FINAL SOLUTION" for freeing up Hormuz from the control of Towel Heads determined to shut down global Happy Motoring.

His Trumpness has already made thinly veiled threats of wiping out the entire Iranian population and erasing thm from the history books to get his way.  He's clearly frustrated, even the lapdogs and syncophants that enable him in CONgress have been turning against him and the likelihood the Repugnants lose the House & Senate in fair elections grows by the day.  The military virtually admits they're short of conventional weapons for carpet bombing Iran, so what's left for him to leverage here to get them to capitulate?  It worked for "Give 'em Hell Harry" Truman against the Japanese, right?

I still hold the Hopium out that somewhere along the Chain of Command that common sense will prevail and even if he orders it, the order will be refused, but it's still a legitimate concern.  To argue otherwise is at best unrealistic.

One doctor with years of experience.  Lets give him/her the number of years of experience as 20 each.





225 times twenty years is 4500 years of experience.  So many professionals taking the same position says that maybe perhaps, they are on to something.

I wonder how many Psychiatrists would be willing to go on record saying Chump is NOT a MALIGNANT NARCISSIST who poses a threat of authorizing a nuclear first strike?  Any Shrink who would say that should have his license to practice medicine revoked.  El Trumpo is  a walking, talking example of DSM-V psychosis diagnostic pathologies.  Beside Narcissist, Megalomania, Misogyny, Pedophilia, Paranoia, Rapist & Pathological Liar all have plenty of documented statements or actions to make a valid diagnosis.  AKA, CRIMINALLY INSANE.

The terms of the Islamabad MoU are crystal clear and public for all to see. POTUS has committed the US to muzzling its pets in Tel Aviv. If they ignore their master, Iran will school them.


Very well said.  But who is the master?  Top or bottom.  America is obviously the bottom.

In the spring, U.S. officials suspected that Israel intended to kill Iran’s top negotiators and sent a warning to Tehran to take precautions.


Under the circumstances telling America to muzzle its pets in Tel Aviv is appropriate. The warning shows America to be WEAK.

Russia’s Fuel Crisis Deepens: 18-Hour Gas Lines and the Haunting Ghost of the Soviet Era

An energy superpower paralyzed: Drone strikes on refineries have knocked out 25% of production, reviving memories of Soviet-era shortages and testing the Kremlin's social contract.

Which happened because Ukraine is supplied with western toys to make this happen.  Maybe Putin will figure this out and be pissed off.  I would be.  ----- Looking further I find he is.  Surprise, surprise.


Brad goes over the top, but hey, it works for him.  And he does have the video.

Poking a bear is not a good idea.

Fire explosions, gas lines, and more.

What Brad said about WWIII kicking off in his well done conclusion may be chillingly true.  Fucked be us all.

My Debate With Satan, Part II: The Final Conflict

A Diabolical Confrontation On Inferno Politics: Standing Against Trumpism Without Losing Your Soul


I have made men like Trump for centuries. He is not my rival—he is my instrument. He serves my will. His lies are my whispers, his hatred my melody. And when his moment in the sun fades, when his empire of fraud and fury collapses under its own grotesque weight, I will be there. I will take his soul as I have taken the souls of so many tyrants before him. And he will weep. And he will beg. And I will smile.
