Remember who falls for it:

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Exclusive: Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war.

The bombing of Cambodia would like a word:

This such a great organization. Thanks for promoting it, Norm.

The stupid, it burns:

AI, man....

No reservations.

Nope...and not Churchill either: winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/rough-men-st...

There are many varieties of fascist and semi-fascist politics...but they always go to the same places:

Note:

Hannibal was 28 when he crossed the Alps and invaded Italy.

Jean-Pierre Melville’s Cinema of Resistance His films are illuminated by what he saw when France was ruled by oppression and ordinary people had to decide what, or whom, they would obey.

There is no other movie like it. It gets the reality of the French Resistance experience perfectly perhaps because Melville himself experienced it with it's very French vein of dark, determined, very personal heroism. www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

Remember...it's not an actual American intervention in the Middle East unless the Kurds are encouraged, inadequately armed and then left to their fate.

Otherwise it's just sparkling colonialism.

so this is apropos of a larger truth many people get: in a truly big war PGMs will go very rapidly and anyone still standing after the initial barrages goes dumber

It *should* be but without any real plan and rank administration incompetence it very likely won’t be. So far, the likeliest White House response is a shrug when it all goes wrong.
