Iran war is a crappy replay of all the stupidest decisions and non decisions that dragged us into Vietnam....

So “we” destroy Iran’s energy and resource infrastructure, then “they” sue for peace?…oh, wait, much of the Gulf’s, KSA, and Israel’s desalination plants get vaporized by counter-strike missiles fired from Iran’s deep sites, as do petrol and NG storage depots, AND the Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb straits closed indefinitely to ship traffic.

Don’t believe ace negotiators Witkoff and Kushner can prevent this…just spitballing here, mind. Essentially, the Iranians having been planning and providing weaponry for exactly this assault by the US, Israel, or both since 1979. Diplomacy sure, as the JCPOA demonstrated, but above all, prepare for war, lay out the strategic targets, arm up, and wait...and here we are, as anyone with even a passing sense of contemporary ME history could have foreseen.

Our Commander in Chief is playing one-dimensional checkers.

My ResistBot letter for Mar 30: Pass a no-ICE-at-the-polls law now. Federal law already bans armed intimidation at polling places, but states need their own criminal and civil enforcement so voter protection cannot be undermined by DOJ inaction or presidential pardons. Follow this link to send letters to your State legislators.

Thanks David for your closing photos of the No Kings 3 protests. 8-9 million took to the streets, across our country, in big and small groups. We the People did this. Europe joined in solidarity for many protests.

Who knows the topography of all Iran

best? Iran or DJT & Hegseth? I'm betting on Iran.

Lucian Truscott shared a map with the topography of Iran. Wonder if Dump or Kegsbreath studied the history of Russia fighting in Afghanistan or USA fighting in Afghanistan. Very, very scary 😨

And the shot of LAPD piggies being piggies is of course obligatory when popular demos in L.A. happen, especially anywhere near ICE/DHS buildings.

Who threw the bricks and why did they, Lance? Indivisible has very good parameters to be followed for all protests; no throwing any projectiles.

Re Iran: Donny was able to surrender to the Taliban without a problem. Maybe it’ll dawn on him that he can do same with Iran.

Essentially rename the JCPOA, lie that it’s completely different, and tell (rather, lie to) Netanyahu that his hands are tied because of domestic politics.

Meanwhile, apparently we’re losing a lot of hard to replace equipment, nearby bases surrounding Iran have been made unusable for now and the speculation markets are spending hallucinating that there are peace talks that can lead to something, that is, aren’t just for show, or Donny just bullshitting.
