The clearest analysis of Trump's insane war is here:

Robert Pape knows what he's talking about. Listen to the man. It's a long-play information dump that we need right now.
No diesel in my little town today, and a cap on petrol/gas. The sheer scale of Trump's ineptitude and his trailer-park hillbilly administration is staggering. He's killing everybody.
This post made possible by Ignorance and Greed, two reassuring constants in a world of change.
As ever, either turn YouTube comments off or don't look at them. Unless you like willful stupidity for its own sake.
ReplyDeleteYou misspelled "Israel's insane war"
ReplyDeleteUh-huh. But it's Trump's involvement that pushed it to the next level. Israel is at war with everyone else on the planet.
DeleteTLDR (as I understand it):
ReplyDelete- Obama had a deal with AK, under which Iran's enriched weapons-grade plutonium was removed under strict observation.
- Ayatolla K. issued fatwah (religious edict) that no nuclear weapons were to be made.
- Trump killed not only A.K. but the the people around him who could have replaced him and shared his policy.
- A.K's successor, the new Supreme Leader, does not support the A.K's fatwah, and Iran now has every reason to manufacture nuclear bombs (the Americans are killing them, basically).
- Iran's limited but growing stockpile of plutonium is hidden deep in the mountains. The US has no idea where - cannot make a strike at it.
- The war is already a "world war". Not in the sense of bombing and troop deployment, but global economics. Iran has a stranglehold on global oil distribution. The straits of Hormuz are controlled by Iran and effectively closed.
And this is why I can't refuel my truck. Thanks, Obama!
If you did have a squint at the comments, they're mostly hammered out by illiterates who don't understand the role of advisor. Advisors don't make policy decisions. This reminds me of the nearly unanimous online reaction to the Steele pee tape "dossier", due to a fundamental ignorance of what Steele did, which was to pass on intel from his trusted sources - "what we're hearing is this ..." It was never a conclusive fact-filled "dossier", it was an intelligence report. A nuance way too fine for the internet sludge mind. But yeah, YouTube comments are a useful indicator of how deeply ignorance runs. The human race is fucked, but it probably always has been. The end of the world as we know it is an ongoing situation, the war that never ends.
Another nuance that flies over too many heads: Judaism v. Zionism.
