Our latest senseless illegal war against brown people, born of ever-shifting lies and fought by the sons of the blithe un-rich, is Trump’s ultimate Wag-the-Dog distraction from his crimes, failures and pedophilia at home. Having oafishly declared the Iran regime \u201ca vicious group of very hard, terrible people\u201d – pot\/kettle if you add “inept”- his “warriors” are now being told this is “part of God’s divine plan,” with The Rapture imminent (after killing more schoolgirls.) One sage: “It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this.”<\/p>\n

Leave it to “the world’s most famous bone-spur patient,” Board of Peace chair, recipient of a fake FIFA peace prize and pilfered real Peace Prize, cornered serial sexual predator facing exposure and pathological liar who vowed “no new wars” while attacking seven nations in a year <\/em>to launch “the dumbest war in US history” – a tough competition – and the biggest US military operation in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which Bush, Rumsfeld, Powell et al at least tried for months to justify <\/a>with a pack of lies before making “the worst<\/a> foreign policy decision in history.” Trump: Hold my Coke. Experts have long warned that with his hubris, thin skin, historical ignorance and affinity for heedless demolition<\/a> of buildings, customs, laws, credibility, he could wreak the most havoc in foreign affairs, where his power is most unbridled – especially now, as he grows increasingly desperate and dangerous. <\/p>\n

Thus, having amassed <\/a>a vast arsenal of US weaponry in the Persian Gulf, did he launch our current “national obscenity.” Ever presidential, he did it in a sober, cogent speech at a White House lectern with all the gravity the occasion called for. Kidding: He did it in a histrionic 2:30 a.m post on his crappy platform from his golf bordello<\/a> after a $1-million-a-plate fundraiser – cue cringe robotic dancing to God Bless the USA<\/em> – and a bellicose, garbled speech, his face smeared in make-up beneath a tacky baseball cap?! <\/em>Later, the White House released <\/a>a photo of a hastily assembled War Room with black drapes around it and some guy peeking in – looking for the omelette bar? Observers: “Looks secure to me,” “Looks like the Goodman wedding reception had to be moved,” “These clowns seriously started WW lll from a blanket fort at a shitty golf club?!” and, “This is not how democracies go to war.”<\/p>\n

But we just did – with no (Constitutionally mandated) approval from Congress, no (historically obligatory) public debate, over the objections of his own intelligence agencies and against the wishes of 80% of Americans, including his own base. In a slurred, spurious, deeply Orwellian speech, he “upended<\/a> half a century of US foreign policy” by proclaiming the $1-billion-a-day<\/em>-but-who needs-groceries-or-health care Operation Epic Fury (presumably named by a 12-year-old minion), which he randomly called “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country.” Citing zero evidence, he said many of Iran\u2019s soldiers “no longer want to fight,” are “looking for Immunity from us,” and hope to “peacefully merge with Iranian Patriots (to) bring back the Country to Greatness” (like ravaged America) to “achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!\u201d Because, bless his moronic heart, nobody ever thought of regime change before.<\/p>\n

The world’s worst negotiator<\/a> moved to set the Middle East on fire after walking away from ongoing, reportedly promising <\/a>talks in which Iran had already made concessions<\/a>; given the regime’s “stupefyingly overt corruption,” they included bribes <\/a>to a deeply unqualified Kushner and Witkoff. Trump’s Very Serious, deep-dive analysis: “We were having negotiations with these lunatics, but it was my opinion they were going to attack first.” So he did. The death toll in a swiftly spreading <\/a>conflagration is now over 1,000, including at least six US service members. Gruesomely but not surprisingly, one of the first strikes hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in southern Iran, killing <\/a>an estimated 170 girls aged seven to 12. In a searing video of the carnage – woe to the murderers of little children – a distraught man stands amidst bloodied books, bodies, backpacks and shouts, “This was a school and they came to study.”<\/p>\n

Also killed the first day was Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of military commanders – so many, in a sign of Trump’s famed proficiency, that he told news outlets he’d had a “beautiful plan” and several candidates <\/a>for Iran\u2019s new leadership but, oops, <\/a>“They’re all dead.” <\/a>There were other miscalculations. Despite his sanguine gibberish about PEACE, Tehran vowed to unleash “devastating blows” and the intact, powerful, heavily armed, fanatically loyal Revolutionary Guard, showing no interest in laying down their arms or ideology, warned of “a severe, decisive and regret-inducing punishment\u201d of their killers. As in Iraq and everywhere else and one more time, a historian notes<\/a>, regime change through bombing has never been successful: “Regimes are networks, (and) when an external power kills a leader, networks often consolidate, not fragment. Successors emerge, as do Martyr narratives.”<\/p>\n

As to the US, what has yet to emerge is a long-term plan,<\/a> a lucid rationale for the mayhem. They throw spaghetti at the wall, offering wildly shifting goals, timelines, narratives, <\/a>excuses of “imminent threat” so flimsy they’d be laughable if not lethal. They want to “destroy Iran\u2019s missile capability,” “a<\/em>nnihilate their navy,\u201d halt their regional hegemony, stop them from building nuclear weapons US intelligence insists <\/a>are over 10 years away. Trump babbles: He wants <\/a>“freedom for the people,\u201d Iran “just wanted to practice evil,” we have to “get rid of their whole group of killers and thugs,” and they blocked his 2020 re-election. He really did “obliterate\u201d <\/a>their nuclear program in June but “we found they were in a totally different site – totally different, so it was just time.\u201d One analyst: “The lack of any coherent message seems to suggest the lack of any coherent objective.” Robert Reich: “He has no fucking clue what he\u2019s doing.”<\/p>\n

Bizarrely, Trump’s reportedly calling journalists to workshop objectives and timelines: 2 or 3 days, four to five weeks? More bizarrely – is it possible? – suddenly-anti-war MTG charges <\/a>the regime, deep in “the same old bullshit,<\/a>” is even polling voters to ask how many casualties they’d accept: “How about ZERO you bunch of sick fucking liars.” Meanwhile, MAGA struggles to define the debacle they’ve birthed. In a few head-spinning minutes, Mike Johnson claimed Iran “declared war on us,” insisted “we’re not at war,” and clumsily pivoted <\/a>to, “a very, umm, specific, clear mission, an operation.<\/em>” Enraged Dems were more forthright. Ruben Gallego: “Trump ran on <\/a>exposing pedophiles and stopping wars, (and) is now protecting pedophiles and starting wars.\u201d Chris Murphy on a vanity war “nobody in this country is asking for: “<\/a>It won\u2019t be the billionaire children of Trump and his buddies that die.” Steve Schmidt, likewise bitter: They’ll have “died <\/a>to change the subject from child rape.”<\/p>\n

In greasy contrast, dry-drunk war-mongerer, preening macho cartoon, and “colossus of incompetence and extremism” Pete Kegsmith yammers <\/a>about “our warriors fully unleashed to achieve our objectives, on our terms, with maximum authorities.” Also “iron fist,” “true force multiplier,” “hitting them surgically, overwhelmingly” while seeking “off-ramps and escalations (to) execute what we need” with, “No apologies. No hesitation. Epic fury.” What an epic asshole. He snarled<\/a> at a presser with right-wing hacks: “Why would we tell you<\/a> – you, the enemy, anybody – what we will or will not do?” He went full psychopath <\/a>in another, braying of “death and destruction <\/a>from the sky all day long” and “rules of engagement (that) are bold, precise, and designed to unleash American power. We are punching them while they are down.” Also, “War is hell.” Though Sherman added, “It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.”<\/p>\n

A Christian nationalist,<\/a> Crusades fan-boy and sexist xenophobe who attends Bible study and Pentagon prayer services, Hegseth is a vital force in an explosive push to enshrine brimstone-breathing – and unconstitutional – Christian fundamentalism in America’s military. Thus is our new war of choice being feverishly sold, not as a ploy to distract from Epstein, ICE, inflation etc but as a Biblically-sanctioned holy crusade toward a devoutly-to-be-wished End Times. Or in the more skeptical words<\/a> of The Fucking News<\/em>, “Jesus Christ, They Drafted Jesus Christ To Fight Iran.” Since the Iran attacks, reports<\/a> Jonathan Larsen, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation <\/a>has logged over 200 complaints from 50 bases of every military branch about commanders telling troops this is “all part of God\u2019s divine plan,” with Trump improbably “anointed” to bring the Rapture, Armageddon and the return of Christ to recreate a white, straight, Republican, gated-community America. <\/p>\n

Larson reports<\/a> one Christian <\/em>NCO wrote on behalf of 15 troops of multiple faiths, all rejecting the call to embrace a nihilistic, Revelation-based worldview. “This is not what my faith is for,” he wrote, “and this is not what my uniform is for.” MRFF head Mikey Weinstein, an Air Force and Reagan White House veteran, said he’s been “inundated” by calls with “one damn thing in freaking common” – complaints about “the unrestricted euphoria” of commanders urging troops to accept their fundamentalist theology. Declares Weinstein, “Any military (pushing) their blood-soaked, Christian nationalist wet dreams upon the flames of this latest non-Congressionally sanctioned attack against Iran should be swiftly, aggressively and visibly prosecuted.” Adds Dean Blundell, raised Evangelical, on a “crusade of low-IQ warriors”: “If history has taught us one goddamn thing, it\u2019s that holy wars don\u2019t end when the true believers say they will. They end when there\u2019s nothing left to burn.”<\/p>\n

Alas, in the case of this ill-conceived holy war, true believers may be embarking not just with epic fury, an iron fist and a blanket fort but irreparably clogged toilets. Adding a surreal twist to an already dark tale of Christofascist empire-building, new reports describe <\/a>toilet lines of up to 45 minutes for 4,500 sailors on the world’s most advanced warship, the US Navy’s $13-billion, nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, now facing what are politely termed “significant sanitation challenges” as it idles in the Persian Gulf. The ship’s vacuum-based sewage system has long been plagued<\/a> by repeated failures and lack of maintenance, but the latest breakdown of many of its 650 toilets may be the final straw for sailors already weary from an extended, 8-month deployment; after Trump’s illegal Venezuela assault\/kidnapping, they were ordered to go straight to his illegal Iran air strikes\/mass murder. Some have posted <\/a>gross videos of flooding shit; reads one, “Join the Navy, they said.”<\/p>\n

Still, their Commander-In-Chief says everything’s swell. “It’s going to go pretty quickly,” he announced of the widening chaos in the Middle East. “We’re way ahead of schedule.” Experts warn<\/a> the Iran war, coupled with the shift of national security resources to immigration, raises the risk of terrorism; says veteran and Rep. Jason Crow, “It just shot through the roof. But Trump just bragged about the “exciting times,” and asked how he’d rate the success of the war on a scale of one to ten, he said he’d give it “about a fifteen.” As to the likely growing casualties from his “noble mission,” he’s shruggingly said, <\/a>“That’s the way it is.” Talk about epic fury: See the response <\/a>from Kendall Brown, whose husband is on the USS Gerald Ford. “If you voted for this, I fucking hate you,” she says <\/a>in a now-viral video. “If you still support this, you are a monster.”<\/p>\n

“America is strong because its leaders are strong. President Trump proves that every day,” reads a DraftBarron<\/em> <\/a>website by South Park’s <\/em>Toby Morton. “Naturally, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country his father so boldly commands. Service is honor. Strength is inherited. Dog Bless Barron.” Arguing<\/a>, “Leadership starts somewhere,” it offers the loving testimonial from his dad, “People come up to me, with tears in their eyes, and they say, \u2018Sir, you\u2019re the strongest. Send Barron off to war.\u2019” For now, Operation What Now lurches on. Trump reportedly bombed Iran because “he had a feeling<\/a>, based on fact.” Melania explained <\/a>how to achieve “enduring peace.” Oil prices quickly spiked, and millions were stranded <\/em>after airports and sea lanes shut down. Because we are the most exceptional, can-do country on earth, the State Department’s Office of Overseas Citizens Services hotline was there to help. Sort of. Dog bless America. <\/p>\n

“Five things to remember about war: 1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true 2. Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics 3. The rationale given for a war will change over time. 4. Wars are unpredictable 5. Wars are easy to start and hard to stop.” <\/em>– Timothy Snyder<\/a><\/p>\n
