Do they "know they can't even beat Yemen," or are they so delusional that they believe they can "beat anyone"? This is a serious question.

I am most concerned about the possibility mentioned toward the end: that a peace deal is now possible in Gaza, because Netanyahu & Co. want to aim their offensive at Iran. As noted, this will prove a disaster, but once Trump is in office, they may attack anyway, confident that of even more US support. Iran will promptly shut down the Strait of Hormuz; oil prices will sky-rocket, and the Western economies will spiral down the porcelain. Let us hope this does not happen...

My understanding is that The Pentagon has been mulling a winable nuclear war right back to a split over following Nagasaki with hitting Russia. Truman and others talked it down.

The nutjobs arriving in January are out to wind it all up, not least the messianic zealots.

I hope I'm wrong.

“No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public.” HL Mencken.

Think Adolf in his bunker in April '45 with Russia closing in. This time they've driven the Big Bad Bear into the arms of the slumbering Panda.

These boys play death or glory war-cult Mars-worship.

Humanity gets no seat at their high table. They hold humanity in contempt.
