Of course, the news, doom scrolling ad infinitum, Trump's Ultimatums, increasingly bizarre behaviours, the timed back-downs, cease-fires, always after the market's have closed and somebody had made a huge bet...
There was in the past week the firing of Pam Bondi - and while an execrable human being she was in similar company. There's Israels' seizing portions of Palestine, and calling the homeland defenders "Terrorists", there's the increasing search for scapegoats, Kash Patel, Pete Hegsmith, there's the Gulf Nations pleading that Trump finish off Iran, they are - while more glamorous, none of them even remotely better than Iran, remember Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist murdered and dismembered in the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul by instruction of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman? Yeah, the one Trump was backslapping and having a good laugh with?
Trust me, there's no pain over there we should feel but the Iranians. All those other states made deals with the devil, and he's come now for his reaping...
Pierre Poilievre doing the US Podcast tour, barefaced lying about the oil sands; he's as well done, there's the war in Iran, targeting bridges, steel mills, civilian infrastructure, power plants, nuclear power plants (which, if breached, will be a disaster for all the Gulf States likely exceeding that of Chernobyl), there's the "rescue mission" after the three planes shot down on Good Friday, not so much a "rescue" as an attempt to seize uranium, lol, for the Americans "Unobtanium", losing another 2 C-15 & 2 Blackhawks, and the generals standing down rather than put boots on the ground, the real, the only heroes here, there's Israel's repeated assassinations of anyone that attempts to broker peace, they don't want peace, there's the ceasefire brokered that includes Lebanon after which Israel amplified it's bombing of Beirut...
There will be no peace until Nato - without Trump - France, England, Italy, sail into the Mediterranean Sea and bomb Israel, help to restore Palestine and Lebanon, enough is enough, 9 million people is a small price to pay for world peace, and the survivors, if any, can be marched to the Red Sea where God will part the waters for them to be his chosen people once again. God wants them all close. And we should be willing to oblige.
Think, "Chosen People" is itself a recipe - what is the word for despising everyone - Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist - because you are the "Chosen People", when this privileged position allows you to displace, kill, rape, murder children, women, men, all at whim and without consequence, it is time to end the "State of Israel", of Zion, to burn it down, to make them an example for once and for all and to extend to them the same quality of mercy they have extended to their innumerable victims...
Anyways, this war is a disaster and I'm aghast that nothing has yet been done, no Nuremberg 2.0; we know who the villains are, know what needs be done, and no one is willing to do it so every news anchor, late night comedian sits about wringing their hands, cracking their jokes while the rape and murder of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of innocents continues...
