War is the opiate of the Israeli masses

Israel has once again entered war to solve its “existential problems once and for all”. History suggests those promises of total victory rarely survive contact with reality.

The lies that fuel war

The Albanese government’s support for the US–Israel war on Iran rests on claims about nuclear threat, humanitarian intent and non-involvement that do not withstand scrutiny.

One Labor backbencher made the claim that this war on Iran was to give the Iranian people "the opportunity to determine their own future, free from brutality, fear and blackmail." Even as he spoke, the bodies of over 100 school girls were being dragged from the rubble in Minab following a US airstrike.

Over the coming days, 18 hospitals and health facilities have been targeted and bombed, oil reserves have been hit and are spewing toxic air into Tehran. The Iranian people now face the brutality and fear of a vicious Israeli and US bombing campaign.

I went down this rabbit hole.  Zionists and Trumpites are claiming that Iran has been leveled with 5000 targets hit on the first day or some such abomination.  Their claim tries to repackage their murderous realities into obscurity by saying the enemy is annihilated.  That there is no more enemy.  That they are all gone.  So nothing to see here, move on.  That is what they want from you.  How you should think and how you should act.  Do not give it to them.

It is diabolical to understand that the US military has a detailed target list and be fine with the knowledge, but that aside, the 5000 targets seem to have been collected over decades with a target list out of date leading to school and hospitals being blown up.

The war hawks own argument of total devastation is also and admission of impotence.  Targets aged into irrelevance on a hard disk like fine wine turning to vinegar with the passage of years.  Yes there was massive destruction, but what was really achieved.  What are Iran's remaining capabilities.  The war hawks don't know.  They did not have to know because they have TECHNOLOGY so good that failure could not possibly be a real concern for them.  MAGA brain will not tolerate a Debbie Downer and they have AI to fix their mistakes.  And morality is so yesterday.

And they have TECHNOLOGY so good that Cuba is being blockaded at the same time.  Trump intends to steal the island.  Fooling everybody he was going for Greenland he was, when actually Trump was thinking Cuba would be a great upgrade from Mar-A-Lago.  A great place for the next Trump property.  All he has to do is convince the Cubans to make a deal.

What did Trump and Vance say to Zelenskyy ?  Oh yeah, Trump shouted at Zelenskyy in that disgusting Oval Office meeting, 'without us, you don't have any cards'  That was it, and then "You're gambling with World War III."

I smell irony.  Iran can choke the global oil supply via the Strait of Hormuz and Trump does not have a card to play.  Trump is holding Aces and Eights.  Operation Epstein Fury is a bust.

Wrong cards to hold and Trump is all in.

US Troops Are Being Told to ‘Get Ready’ to Invade Iran

There is unprecedented dissent brewing inside the military – with some troops currently on their way to the Middle East seeking to refuse fighting.

Consciousness has a long way to go to get to where it was.  And Democrat muckety-mucks do not understand that Gaza made Kamala lose.

(War) h'uh
Yeah!
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin) uh-huh, uh-huh
(War) h'uh
Yeah!

(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')

Listen to me

Ooh war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears, to thousands of mother's eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives
I said, war (h'uh)
Good God, y'all!
(What is it good for?)

Absolutely (nothin') 'gin
Say it, again

(War) whoa (h'uh) whoa-whoa, Lord

(What is it good for?)

Listen to me!

(War)
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker!
(War)
Friend only to the undertaker

Ooh, war
Is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest

Within the younger generation
Induction, then destruction
Who wants to die?
Ooh war, Good God (h'uh) y'all!

(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')

Say it, say it, say it

Listen to me

(War)
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
(War)
It's got one friend and that's the undertaker

Ooh, war
Has shattered many a-young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter, and mean
And life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Oh, war!
(H'uh) Good God, y'all
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')

Say it, again
(War)
Whoa (h'uh) whoa-whoa, Lord
(What is it good for?)
A-absolutely (nothin')
Listen to me!
(War)
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
(War)
Friend only to the undertaker
Woo!

Peace, love and understanding tell me
Is there no place for anything else?
They say we must fight
To keep our freedom
But Lord, knows there's got to be
A better way
Oooh

(War)
God, y'all! (uh)
(What is it good for?)
You tell 'em! (h'uh)
Say it, say it, say it
(War)
Good God (h'uh) now, h'uh
(What is it good for?)
Stand up and shout it
(Nothin'!)
