sorry, yes.

If US were unlucky enough to be in a war that is going so badly that Marshall law is needed…

Weird things going on with Iran threats. Maybe after 4 hour stone age bombing campaign, mission accomplished?

More likely, oil price will keep rising as SoH closed, and regional infrastructure closed. Ground troops could be a quagmire. The weird threat is that the US will put tolls on oil (too) from the region as an act of war against the world, and retaliation from world.

Protests in US lead to Marshall law. Just doing terrible in foreign policy/war can lead to Marshall law budgeting and preventative reactions to crazy budgeting.

A big US empire/global domination reason for not escalating is that Iran’s missile launches and strikes increased in last week, with $20B in damages/lost revenue per day caused over the weekend. The narrative that their capability is destroyed is a false one.

A destroyed global economy, and GCC, will not look for, nor would they receive if asked, US compensation for rebuilding. They will all ask other investment/global powers instead.

The only good news, is that the latest stone age campaing is a 4 hour one. Perhaps US declares “stone age mission accomplished” and leaves.

Maybe they needed the ratings for the final war/season to be higher for the movie.

7 wars and a movie… just missing the movie.

Piece is quite brutal against US. Worth read.

While somehow Biden get’s blamed for the fiasco, Trump did order the full withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, essentially a surrender to the Taliban, though he did keep their US bank account held treasury.

I’ve heard of kill the messenger. Give the messenger a congressional medal of honor!!!

That would imply that the US would dismantle its bases throughout the region so that the Gulf countries would align themselves with Iran.

An option that the US has to compensating Iran in exchange for peace, and then US paying for world peace, while keeping GCC control, is to just withdraw and try to pay, be nice to GCC, to keep them under their control umbrella with hope of returning to bases for new attacks on Iran. This cannot work, because Iran would stay angry at them. US bases are destroyed, and require repair $. Trump just proposed a 2027 budget with $600B increase in defense spending, 10% cut to social/health services, and $200B extra Iran war costs. Before the war, Dems wanted last healthcare cuts removed to reopen government.

There is a genuine threat to automatic Israel reparations funding, and if GCC are practical towards Iran cooperation, then Trump and repbulicans will spite them, and Dems may promote fewer health/social cuts instead of strenthening the absolute failure of a “US protection contract” for these nations. GCC would need to continue being Israel/US colony voluntarily sacrificing themselves to Iran superiority, instead of being practical. Their biggest customer, China, can assist in making them more practical in friendship with Iran and China.

Should the military hold a bake sale to provide soldiers with the equipment they need?

US leaves, and GCC allies with Iran the same day. SoH open the same day. All GCC infrastructure safe. No reason for US companies to stop their GCC funded investments/infrastructure.

In 1960s, Cosmopolitan magazine brainwashed women to wear mini skirts and smoke in public, and I said nothing, because that shit was hott.

Also, corn has very low ROI for farmers even with “free equivalent land”. Corn futures prices have not risen anywhere close to 100% fertilizer cost increases this month. Solar has much higher profit/ROI potential than ethanol corn for the land owners, with far less work.

All generals concerns about the war or escalating require silencing. If you are not snorting coke with Mossad off toilet seats, you cannot be properly informed/motivated to destroy global economy, and get some sweet American branded genocide in the mix.

That kind of psychotic loyalty is too valuable for a Dictator to squander.

Bondi seemed to be there. She just never had any cards to actually implement the insane shit. Kegsbreath with a nuke doesn’t have to convince judge/law to use it.

As far as forgiving loans, Israel wasn’t loaned anything, we gave it to them,

The contractual shenanigans of gifting weapons to Israel is that they are sold with a loan. The state department immediately forgives the loan.

the US officials that helped compromise our citizens for a foreign country are traitors.

I agree. I prefer seizing their and their donors wealth instead of death penalty.

I really hate the media reports of “Trump was upset of her handling of the Epstein files” as a reason.

Difficult sure. Would you prefer that it is impossible to fly to California, difficult? Shouldn’t be. Cost of Jet fuel from GCC would make the difficult trip from Texas profitable.

forgiving a loan is a permanent contract. You can validly say that everyone who previously cancelled loans were traitorous scum, as a basis for conditions for future sales to Israel, and seizing assets of all “supposed Americans” of those who bribed the traitorous scum as restitution. But cancelled loans themselves are without legal restitution.

I prefer seizing the $10T of Zionazi agents and funding of Zionazi first rule over America to death penalties.

Russia’s system so far is voluntary deployment bonuses. These are more attractive to the poor than the rich, by nature (it is illegal for the rich to live under a bridge too), but that is very different than “rigging a draft”.
