Laurie and Connie: Me, too! Having lived through the Vietnam period, I find all of this depressingly familiar. Can we please not have to do it all over again? Many thanks to Xplisset for highlighting the pattern!

Thank you. Those who are currently making the decisions to 'do war' (games) do not ever pay the price, the people they send into the fray do. Furthermore, dt&co are bereft of morals and have terrible decision making skills, so their atrocities are compounded. War is their ultimate playtoy, but is a horrible reality for their pawns and game pieces who just happen to be people, being killed , captured, with the taxpayers included when they foot the bills. Unfortunately, the world is their 'playing board'. We need to get them OUT of the game. The sooner the better. Then we need to work on systemic reformation.

There is no "WE under estimated Iran." trump's minions who starte this war under estimated Iran. I'm sure they didn't even put any thought into the strength and capabilitie of Iran. trump had a random brain fart that said, "you need to do something to distract from the Epstein files. Isreal want us to attack Iran. I can do Isreal a solid AND distract from the Epstein file if we start bombing Iran. Let it be done." The people who are REALLY running the country - Miller, Vought, Vance, Wiles, etc. had no idea that Iran would fight back and thought it would be harmless to let trump have his way and - BOOM - we are at war with Iran and getting our asses kicked in the court of world opinion and, perhaps, militarily. It's all so stupid.

Great article and analysis! It can never be stated enough that this is war is illegal. That should be the starting point of any and every news report on the topic. It reminds me of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which seems to have disappeared from the news.
