    I have predicted the shitfuckery with success for two decades now

    I’m so tired of being right

    This incursion into Iran was a distraction from further atrocity in Palestine, but more importantly, a land grab from Israel into Lebanon and when they get away with that, there will be further “settling” of surrounding areas while the West either ignores it for fear of being labelled bigots, or continues to quietly support it because it is beneficial to have an attack dog in the region, even if it is now the tail wagging the dog

    Israel wanted to move aggressively and needed the eye of the world to be elsewhere, or afraid of the accusation of antisemitism

    There will be a protracted land war in Iran which will provide a reason to suspend all elections in the US, so there will be no midterms that would overturn the current state of affairs

    If Drumpf lives long enough, it’ll be cause to suspend the 2028 election, and after that, all bets are off

    I’m desperate hoping that I’m wrong

      Elections solve nothing in the US. Obama bombed more brown people than Bush Jr, he just had better PR. Black people were still murdered by the cops like nothing during dem rule and there is still no universal socialized healthcare in the US. The problem with the US is not Trump, is that the majority of the country is closer to being like Trump than they are civilised people.

      The IRA from Biden and the war in Ukraine were a carefully planned attack on EU’s energy independence and decoupling.

      Shit has hit the proverbial fan and we have only two choices:

      1. We get rid of the billionaires (through taxation) as a cautionary tale for future humans to maintain a glimpse of civilisation and repeat the French revolution Europe wide.
      2. We let the situation continue to degrade to the point where WWIII becomes a reality.

        I agree

        I find it hilarious when the Dems are decried as “radical leftists”, because even AOC and Bernie Sanders are merely regarded as “yeah, but ain’t that shit obvious?” to the civilised world

        I spend quite a bit of time in the US, and I don’t consider it a civilised society

        I see people literally step over people who could be helped if the people of the country wanted them to be helped

        There is so much wealth in one country, and that people die from rationing insulin is obscene

        That’s not a word I use lightly, but what I see in the US is sickening to me

        And that’s just one of the many problems…

        I’d advocate for guillotines, but sadly, I have no faith in the American people to actually use them properly

        The people at the bottom are already armed, and they’re not doing anything except hurting other people in the same situation

        The US has more “guillotines” than they do people, but the population still don’t understand how to direct them
