This has been criminally underreported. Failure of the media to not show reality and letting the incompetent fascists get away with it. Not just the MSM, all media. Thanks MTN.

    And Trump's term is only half finished.

    It's quite remarkable. Russia's military proved itself to be an unexpected paper tiger when they launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine, a completely unforced error. And now America's done the exact same thing attacking Iran (though it's still a bigger paper tiger than Russia's military, so Cuba shouldn't breathe a sigh of relief just yet). Trump longs to be like Putin, and a monkey's finger curls on the paw...

    A family friend was working over there when it all started going down. She isn't military, but her checks come from the DoD. Bombs hit, shit went sideways, and the military...pretty much disappeared. They (the group of Americans living in the same area), had to charter a bus to ride to the other side of the country, then further travel until finally flying to Europe. They had to leave all their shit and still have no idea what's going on. Joke of a country.

    To be fair living in UAE for a few years I got this inescapable feeling of how vulnerable they really were but the political culture was so blind. Now waking up to their mistakes but too late. Making private deals with Iran which means US influence in the region permanently peaked. Hubris at every level led to this.

    the oil money blinded them, the ME thinks its safe, because they can bribe trump or the gop for safety, turns out they are on the lowest totem pole as far as influence goes. russia, israel, billionaires have the most effect on trump.
