Exactly.
That Trump repeats calls for Iran's unconditional surrender on same day he's got the defence industrial chiefs round for an emergency meeting on military supplies perfectly sums up his grasp of ends & means.
What happens next in Trump’s war of choice? How bad could it get? Watch my answer to @djrothkopf.bsky.social, then stay for smarter answers from @jonatomic.bsky.social and @edwardluce.bsky.social . Spoiler: Nothing good is coming out of this war. youtu.be/9vt_-eA2JgI?...

Trump has escalation dominance over Spinal Tap. He started at 12 and now gives himself a 15.
Bang on. From which section did this come?
Thanks David!
It's a good interview with Beevor but he's a bit off on US politics...Trump wasn't using Minneapolis to "cancel the mid-terms".
Sceptical. Just an older verison of the bullshitting, grifting, racist conman he always was.
Really looking forward to this.
Ha thankyou:

You're too kind Michele. Thankyou so much.
Saudis strongly disputed that story. I was in Gulf recently and got the opposite.
Thanks so much Michele.
Another excellent article. Thank you, Ed.

A million people died, an entire society was destroyed in a War based on a complete lie.
That's a pretty terrifying thought. It's as if the US constitution had nothing to say on this matter.

Yes, it's shocking even by his standards.
“.. Regimes are not changed from the air. Trump could help only by invading their country. For the first time he is entertaining that idea. ‘I don’t have the yips [anxiety] with respect to boots on the ground,’ he told the New York Post.”
