You mean the Epstein Obfuscation War? From the man-baby who stops all the wars!

As ever brilliant Al Gorythm commented:

"Deploying weapons of mass distraction for the Epsteinth time."

I've got to hand it to you, Laura: in the midst of absolute madness and awfulness, you are able to wrench some humor from the moment.

.

Humor as sharp as diamond cutter, I grant you.

.

Thanks. It is most welcome.

right? Best take on the morning on the rationale for this suicide.

Only a diamond can cut through bullshit.

Trump is going to lose the presidency over this war, when the bodybags of American servicemen are returned to the rogue regime of Trump and his cronies . Trump is a lunatic on the loose playing with peoples lives , however he cares not a jot about human lives .

Yes, I guess when you have Narcissistic Personality Disorder it’s pretty much impossible to have empathy for others.

MastiffSal's avatar

He doesn't give a toss, as long as he can keep it going til November and cancel the midterms. I thought he'd hold off a month or two, Bibi was clearly overly keen.

How they don’t refuse to fight rn masses, I’ll never know….

Humans are herd animals to rival any sheep or dog.

If the military does nothing else, they work very hard to train personnel to obey without question.

Rachel Baldes's avatar

I also think the way our military is "volunteer" only and so much of the worst damage is perpetrated long distance by virtue of technology; these things allow both our soldiers and the public to maintain a psychological distance that prevents empathy for others. I don't approve, but I think without American casualties most Americans don't care. I'd like to be wrong.

deborah jones's avatar

indeed. the war couldn't happen if there weren't thousands of willing participants.

Baz's avatar

The US war business is integral to the ‘American Way’.

The willing participants are brainwashed throughout their education (pledge of allegiance, flag worship etc) and in their militaristic customs. Deprogramming would take a paradigm shift and several generations probably.

deborah jones's avatar

Spot on. As we were brainwashed, brought up on the Hollywood version of the world. Rule Brittania and America the Great. American soldiers were all handsome heroes rescuing the world from the wicked East, subduing savage indigenous tribes, spreading democracy along with hershey bars. Now I realise that 'Here Comes the Cavalry' doesn't mean 'We're saved'. It means 'Uncle Sam is a genocidal maniac, run for your lives'.

Baz's avatar

Can’t disagree with that deborah, goes way back, even before Hollywood - look up ‘doctrine of discovery’.

Bob McKinney's avatar

Worse even than the Monroe Doctrine.

Don't forget the downright poverty that drives many of them into the war machine with the promise of "skills"and"education." They hope to be among the lucky ones - no casket, no devastating trauma.....They will get the same heartbreaking education as the US fighters in all the unjust wars: Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam, etc. Now many of these young soldiers, live on the streets, on drugs, or all too often taking their lives.

Baz's avatar

Yes its nuanced, who knows, maybe the poverty is a deliberate recruiting strategy to keep the war machine fully populated - but ultimately they choose that path themselves.

Liana Chenoweth Kornfield's avatar

Yes, but what's choice for you may feel like necessity to them. Hard to judge until you've lived in poverty day after day after day, with all its indignities, with little hope and full of dead ends.

Baz's avatar

I think you’re confirming my point Liana, that the system of governance there has created/manufactured a system (both ideological and economic) where the conditions favour the continuous participation of recruits who have little ‘choice‘ but to comply.

Bing, bing...we have a winner...

nancy knox-bierman's avatar

the average age on the poopy Gerlad Ford is 19. These are barely educated kids, raised on video games. They have never seen a REAL dead body.

Too Few The Poets's avatar

They're part of the problem. The willing masses...

The Revolution Continues's avatar

Or just poor kids that were told when they finished high school, "There are no jobs and no way you can afford to attend college. Join the US military so you can learn a job skill and get free medical care..." That's why my father joined the Marines when he was a very poor 17 year old. They shipped him off to a place called "Korea" in 1950 and he came back with two Purple Hearts and permanent limp from having his legs completely shot up and put back together with metal pins (1950s orthpedics weren't that sophisticated). But he did see a dentist for the first time in his life when he was on the ship going over... That's not "willing masses" but poor kids desperate for health care and suckered into thinking that serving in the military will give them a job and training.

Rebel Nun's avatar

Very true. And all of those programs have essentially collapsed. The promises the recruiters use are lies now.

Too Few The Poets's avatar

They're still the willing masses... And with the knowledge everyone is capable of getting concerning world politricks these days, there is no excuse.

Michel Martinez's avatar

I have a feeling it will take American Servicemen coming back in flag draped coffins for a significant number of American to finally protest in the street including in front of the Whitehouse. Americans should protest outside Israeli Consulates throughout the Nation as people do throughout the World. This is another War being fought for Israel after all.

Vin LoPresti's avatar

I am indeed frantic with worry. That my idiotic American countrymen will root for a US “victory “, rather than hoping Iran kicks the hell out of US bases, assets, vessels, and bloody Israeli a-holes and their infrastructure. I am the patriot. Be assured.

chycho's avatar

A message to the families of all Americans who are about to die in this war on Iran. Know that Trump sent your loved ones to die for Zionist Israel. When the time comes to seek vengeance, extract it from the Epstein Class.

A J's avatar

The US military in its usual overblown way is calling this whole mess 'Operation Epic Fury.' It should really be called 'Operation Epstein Fury,' because that's all this is about. God, what a world... :(

Baz's avatar

Anyway let the ‘Peace Prez’ be, he’s on a peace rampage don’tcha know.

Feral Finster's avatar

They probably won't. The US will use standoff weapons and simply smash stuff up, like in Libya.

Greeley Miklashek, MD's avatar

Excellent analysis of the total control Israel exercises over the US, and all because Our Mad King Donald the 1st mindlessly supplied Kompromat to Putin and Bibi and friends. We are just too damned dumb to survive. Who says Natural Selection is not real? Have a blessed day!

Jetamy Sik's avatar

Trump needs to stop this bs . Our troops are not pawns

Elizabeth Chandler's avatar

It’s Trump’s handlers who are running this , pumping up his ego while they do so .

Rosalind Dalefield's avatar

In the eyes of the Trump administration, that is exactly what they are.

Simon Campbell's avatar

Utter genius. I always hesitate ‘liking’ your posts as it’s counterintuitive to the subject matter. But…

Bob Martin's avatar

"I want you to understand President Trump joined this war for entirely altruistic reasons—to save you from seeing his hideous penis in the Epstein files." That's it in a nutshell (pun intended).

TruthMatters's avatar

I hope when I wake tomorrow morning that Tel Aviv looks exactly like Gaza, and millions of them are under rubble...hopefully dead! Yep I wrote it.

Tina Silver's avatar

You didn’t sign your real name so don’t be so quick to pat yourself on the back.

TruthMatters's avatar

You obviously don't understand English and the context of sentences! So I suggest you go get some English lessons to help you understand words…dumbo!

Karl Haynes's avatar

Israel and the US are hit-men for Epstein’s bosses.

No, is rael owns MOSSAD.

Alas, someone shared a nude photo of Trump, getting his spray tan sprayed on, on Twitter. I downloaded it to my phone. I now need industrial strength eye bleach 🤮
