When did the US ever win a war ON ITS OWN? Same with israel. America made sure it had every western country in with them before it started israel's wars, israel has always had American money, ships, planes, tanks and bombs behind it. Now it's just the two of the in an illegal war where their ego started because - zionist big, fat, ugly ego. Israel wants to rule the planet(and make everyone not them, their slaves). Egotistically, America thinks it rules the planet, while it has had to back out of every war it started - on behalf of israel. They only reason WWII went to the west was because it was a true war started, not from ego but because a promise was made to Poland that Britain honoured, theother countries came in because ghey were attacked first. The US only "helped" to end WWII after Germany was almost on its knees - another war started because of an egotist. Why people follow them I'll ever understand.

And Germany was almost on its knees because the "forgotten" truth is that it was the Soviet Union that "broke their back" at the cost of some 27M lives. The main contribution of the US to the WWII was industrial capacity.

Everything you write, George, comes despite that fact that Trump is bankrupting the nation! The national debt will surely exceed $2 trillion this year according to numerous sources, but for the benefit of any skeptical Trumpista/MAGAtistas, I shall cite Fox News! https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/federal-budget-deficit-track-surpass-2-trillion-fiscal-year-spending-outpaces-revenue -- with a gentle reminder that Trump wants $1.5 trillion for his Department of War: https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4465551/15-trillion-budget-request-prioritizes-service-members-modernization/

Meanwhile, people are struggling with food, housing, and medical expenses, and our educational system and scientific research have been severely compromised. What a great "victory" Trump has given us. We will soon be the wealthiest Third World "shithole country" on the planet.

The whole Trump orbit is like a deranged carnival of meltdown politics — a nonstop blast of rage‑spam, ego fumes, and conspiracy sludge splattering across every screen. It’s like watching a country get dragged through a funhouse of tantrums, lies, and drama loops that never shut up. The noise is filthy, exhausting, and rotten, a political sewer that keeps overflowing no matter how many times people try to clean it.

Top notch analysis!

George, this is another astute analysis like you always craft.

I published this illustrated Spiritual explanation of the Signs of our Times Wednesday.

Could the Iran war be our own #SuezCrisis? The humiliating event that triggers a permanent downshift in status and power? Just like 1956.

Now here is my next piece of advice to you Frankie and I have never censored anybody for their views, regardless of their stupidity, but on this occasion I'm going to make an exception, I'm going to block you... pester somebody else.

Yes and you're a fuckwit!!

Too often the US is referred to as the most powerful nation in the world. In fact it is proving to be the most febrile and volatile. For its own sake and that of the world it should repudiate war and empire and rejoin the real world. The age of empires is over and no longer affordable. It should have been over in 1945, but... good old Uncle Sam couldn't resist the temptation.

When he is FINALLY gone in whatever way that manifests, we will find he has bankrupt us and stripped our country of every resource.

The United States of America as we knew it in the Obama and Biden years, is in a death spiral.

Each day that he remains in power, is another evil master plan put into motion..

Well done analysis. There's a lot of spins being stated to support US involvement in this war... and I am still offside.

FrankLJ's avatar

Cogently argued by one of the world leading intellectuals.

I think I am right in saying that no Iran supporter is more sensible than you.

There are in fact so many truth tellers out there these days that the MSM lie is just no longer possible, and yet Trump tries to maintain this lie in the most heavy-handed and embarrassing way one could ever imagine, in a way, that is, that might even make Genocide Joe cringe! Deus nos praeservet!

Using the images of snappers ( photographers ) without their permission ain't happening just to satiate your stupidity. There are things called copyright laws. You pay my legal fees and i'll be happy to not use AI generated images. But until then, fuck off you pontificating pretentious poonce!
