It is interesting the 'Shrinking Military' author accepts the selective service as a given.  But what do you expect from a major in the fucking army.  He is a gung-ho motherfucker.

I wonder if he knows 'the divine right of kings' is out of favor.  It is kinda a dumb idea now.  It was useful it its time to shut people up. Now people can't swallow that much bullshit at once.  People be half-educated now.

People who take empire as a given:  SUCK

All selective service records should be transferred to flash paper and someone should light a match.

RE

This is the line of bullshit:

So what has led to this attack by Israel and why now?

Total Bullshit which reeks to high heaven :

Israel, and several Western countries, suspect that Iran has been secretly working towards what is called "breakout capability", meaning the point of no return in developing a viable nuclear weapon.

Iran denies this and has always insisted that its civil nuclear programme – which has received help from    Russia    – is for entirely peaceful purposes.

Total reality which makes heaven puke :

Israel, and several Western countries, suspect that Iran will be "pissed off" when the Palestinians are pushed into the sea and murdered."

The message goes out that support of the victims will be met with more attacks.

I state the obvious because the obvious is denied.

Trump and Netanyahu together might have as much smarts as some of the less capable AI models I run on my video card. 

The Motherfuckers have just started WWIII.

That is oil and gas on fire because Israel has attacked Irans' oil and gas.  Now we know what the military parade in font of the White House is really all about.  Trump acting tough, while Israel's relentless airstrikes on Iran escalate beyond military targets.

Donald Trump has declared that the United States stands ready to defend Israel in the event of Iranian retaliation following Israeli airstrikes on Iran.

Prior to Netanyahu's sneak attack on Iran The White House reached out to at least one key Middle Eastern ally to inform them of the Israels' impending strike.

Buy enough Trump-coin and you can start a war.

"We knew everything" about Israel's attack in advance Trump admitted.  The U.S. supplied the weapons now raining destruction on Iran.  The U.S. is already directly involved, helping to stop Iranian missiles.

Since the 2023 Gaza war, U.S. deployments to the Middle East have increased.  Fighter jets (F-35s, F-15s), and stealth bombers (B-2s), are deployed in nearby countries (Saudi Arabia and the UAE).  The U.S. has flown military cargo planes into Israel to deliver supplies and munitions.

The direct hit on Iran's South Pars gas field was no accident.

This is a calculated strike at the Iran economy, and retaliation is certain. Tehran is now threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz.

If this reckless escalation continues, the U.S. Navy will have no choice but to engage in direct combat.  American troops will once again see the sands of the Mid-East.  The ambitions of two bigoted strongmen: Netanyahu, with his apartheid regime, and Trump, whose racism and thirst for chaos is boundless.  Trump violence has returned.

The vile politics of these two men are putting American lives at risk.  Trump's hubris makes him into more of an idiot than he already was.  Would my video card be smart enough not to cut the VA while also starting a war that is certain to use U.S. troops?

I think so, It would.

Deep Workforce Cuts at VA, Pentagon Backed by Republican Spending Bills

Yeah...ummm....not quite sure we are THERE yet. The Russians have demonstrated they can't get out of their own way and stomp flat some pesky little neighbor country, so that rules out a nuke power that matters and is occupied being stupid and getting their people killed elsewhere, if Iran had a nuke it would get cracking at using it, and Israel has nukes and the ability to stomp Iran flat pretty easily (and just did) with regular means, and can probably happily keep it up for months if they want to. With the recent demolition of all their air defenses...and military leaders...and quite a few other things of significance....it is unlike interrupting production at South Pars would b the tipping point for a country already nearly defenseless and an enemy quite happy to keep proving it on a daily basis.

But it good for trying to whip up some good ol' fashioned middle eastern drama! And American LNG exports coming online means there is some coin to be made producing NG in the US....us now being the world's largest producer of both oil and gas. And word's largest exporter of LNG. Profits to feed the capitalism beast!

Not when it is a well funded proxy war willing to send all the young men of Ukraine to die for a chance exploit that land.  This is true.

Trump says he will continue funding Ukraine's war effort — but he wants something rare in return.  Trump says he wants access to Ukraine's bonanza of rare earth and critical minerals in exchange for the billions of dollars in military aid Washington has been supplying to Kyiv.

And you have not been keeping up with the news.  Russia prevails.

Your own graph which you used to counter my assertion that:

➡️ By 2030, approximately 50% of current oil supply will be lost to natural decline.

➡️ By 2035, if demand holds steady, gasoline supply failure becomes imminent.

Just came back to haunt you.  You published clear evidence for decline, yet you pivot into a make America great posture.  Just let let the horses run free.  Prosperity is here for those who ride.  Capitalism is an unstoppable force.  The end result of centuries of progress, and I am a fool for thinking otherwise.  That is your position.  You can find a graph to punch me down with if it suits you.  Because yes, the delusion can be maintained past the midterm elections that we all can have a tiger in the tank.  The miracle of horizontal drilling gives us that much time.

After that the discount at the gas pump you get for buying groceries is going away.  But not tomorrow, and the peak on the graph was your point.  Your point was not tomorrow.  Anne of the Thousand Days we have.

Proxy war isn't WWIII

As far as who is exploiting who in the "pipsqueak country doing a fine job demonstrating that the bully on the block is an incompetent war fighter", would seem proxy wise that the west is profitting immensely from watching a new style develop, and how easy a time NATO would have pushing Russian troops back to Moscow if it weren't for the nukes involved.

Which could lead to WWIII. BUt aren't anywhere close yet. And don't look to be getting closer. Obviously I am ignoring the children's squabble in the Middle East.

Trump says he will continue funding Ukraine's war effort — but he wants something rare in return.

Trump is a liar, convicted felon and admitted serial sexual predator by both the court, and his own, admission.

Why in the WORLD would you assign credibility to an orange halfwit?

Trump says he is slapping tariffs on all the countries. Lasts a day or two. Trump says he didn't inflate the values of his properties to commit fraud. Trump says he is a genius...and only weighs 220#. Trump says he doesn't cheat at golf.

Yes....sounds like we should pay attention to his honesty and everything he says.

And you have not been keeping up with the news.  Russia prevails.

Not yet. But even if, after more than the 3 years of war where they have been doing a piss poor job, they suddenly get some traction while killing off a couple more hundred thousand young men, they have taught NATO everything they need to know. They don't have to worry about any Russian land war from the gang that can't shoot straight. Or manuveur. Can't achieve air superiority. Doesn't have much in the way of tanks left to fight with. Fights stupid. Fights with theory of "maybe if we shove our male 18-22 entire population of the country into a meatgrinder....the meatgrinder will break!

Yes...Russia prevails. The same Russians that kill Americans supporting them because they didn't know he was one of their cheerleaders. Oops. So smart they kill their own propaganists. Genius! Russia prevails!

A residential building hit in the Marzdaran neighbourhood of western Tehran

Tehran, Iran – Roya, a 62-year-old resident of Iran's capital, was jolted awake just after 3am on Friday morning by the sound of explosions in her Marzdaran neighbourhood in western Tehran.

It was absolutely terrifying, my heart was beating out of my chest," she recalled. "I saw smoke on the horizon and at first thought all the strikes were farther away, but when the images came out, I found that a home just a few streets from us was hit too,

The Israeli military carried out more attacks on Tehran, saying it targeted buildings linked to the country's nuclear programme, including the defense ministry.

I doubt people are as stupid in Tehran as they are in America.  Being as they have not been eating corn as long as we have and all that.  The relevant point is, I'm sure Iranians have any serious shit deep underground.  If they have any serious shit at all.
