U.S., Israel launch war against Iran

The United States and Israel launched a large-scale military offensive against Iran, triggering missile attacks across the Middle East.

U.S. and Israeli government statements framed the offensive as necessary to neutralise imminent threats posed by Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure.

Which goes to show, all people need is a story.  It does not have to make sense.

Iran strikes day 2: Trump threatens more hits, Khamenei dead and Israel mounts new attacks

US President Donald Trump called Khamenei “one of the most evil people in history” and said the strikes delivered justice for Iranians, Americans and others “killed or mutilated” by him.

Evil is as evil does.

I am not aware of Khamenei killing or mutilating any Americans.  Are you?

Accepting the diarrhea that comes out of Trump's mouth makes you look stupid.

“He Could Be Impeached.” Donald Trump’s Base Revolts Over War With Iran

“This is insane. Regime change will result in a bloody civil war, killing hundreds of thousands and creating another massive Muslim refugee crisis. Topping a leader is NEVER as easy you think. It almost always results in further involvement, a civil war, and chaos. Resist this!”  That was Charlie Kirk, speaking last summer and just a few months before his killing, in response to Lindsey Graham’s call for regime change in Iran. His protest reflected a sentiment pervasive among supporters of President Donald Trump, who campaigned on an end to foreign interventions that have cost the United States trillions of dollars and thousands of lives in this century alone: that Trump’s bellicosity is a betrayal of everything the MAGA movement stands for.

Will this be enough to finally get the MAGA Morons to turn on their Fearless Fuehrer and call for an Impeachment?

RE

Learned helplessness.  Repeated exposure to uncontrollable harm leads a person to feel escape is impossible, even when options exist.  I would not bet on the MAGA morons coming to their senses yet.  If ever.

🍿 But, this move may be so unpopular that Trump may finally have cooked his own goose.  We shall see.

Trump’s Iran Strikes Are Unconstitutional

President Trump’s “massive and ongoing operation” against Iran violates the Constitution and our nation’s founding principles. The president acted unilaterally and lawlessly.  Without congressional authorization and absent any imminent threat to the United States.

If Trump is not stopped there will be consequences.  Fascism has a shelf life.

 

We don't know what special shit Trump's adventurism will bring, but if you haven't figured it out by now, Trump never stops bringing shit.  Bringing shit is what Trump does.  So shit it will surely be.  And at the end Trump will be dead, and America will be left with his consequences.

Gas lines...and rationing...is in our past as well. Anyone in PA during global peak oil in 1979 and the ensuing rationing knows this.

Gas lines aren't in my future. Momma didn't raise no fool, and I haven't forgotten that gas rationing long ago.

I recommend a new one of these for everyone.

I got mine for slightly more than half the money that K-Dog spends on some eco-friendly heat pump. Gas lines...please....let them eat cake.

Get ready for Trump to chicken out on Iran as markets fall and gas prices rise

Congratulations, President Trump: The Israeli-U.S. war against Iran has just wiped out all of the U.S. gasoline-price savings achieved since you took office in January of last year.  Average U.S. gasoline prices rocketed Tuesday to $3.109 a gallon, according to AAA. That’s exactly where they were on Jan. 20, 2025. That’s an astonishing jump of 15 cents since the start of the war a few days ago, and of 30 cents since the start of this year.

Is this really what collapse and doom has been reduced to? Recession? Cost of living increases?

After having all sorts of other dooms thoroughly discredited all along the way this century, is this really all we've got left? Recession? Political disagreements? I at least get the political disagreements, for all the complaining about the horrors of the neocons, the Oligarchs have certainly unleashed idiots-R-us in a big way this time. As far as idiots-R-us being doom...well...maybe all that IS left is pretending recessions are the outcome of idiots in charge. Be they Republicrat or Democan. It isn't as though any other group has been able to gain traction against the Oligarchs.

The war may not last long, the effects on the oil market however will be quite long lasting.  Doubtful Iran gets back to its pre-war production levels anytime soon, and doubtful shipping insurance costs through the Straight of Hormuz will drop much either.  More sabotage likely throughout the region.

Things will get quite messy.
