The enemy is prodding us into a ME war that isn't in America's national interest. That's one of the greatest enemies we have. The CCP, another formidable enemy, will have us pinned down and depleted of munitions. They will see an obvious opening to break the 1st island chain shackles. America will cease to exist in It's current form after such humiliation. We're facing an existential threat and haven't recognized friend from foe. How can we consider an ally someone who expects their "God" to eliminate most of humanity for some kind of higher power goodness? It does seem like a cryptic schizophrenic delusion with Satanic tendencies.

I'm assuming Trump will eventually "decapitate" the current regime. But this time (unlike Venezuela), he needs to make sure that the opposition gets into power. This may involve smuggling millions of weapons into the right hands, and providing all kinds of additional support. And while I hate to say it, a lot of the current Revolutionary Guard probably need to be neutralized in the process, as they have shown willingness to kill their unarmed countrymen to preserve their positions. Yes, some of them may have been forced to do so under threat of death themselves. I guess things like this this are never "cleanly" resolved. But I'm tired of watching these brave protesters be fired at like cattle in the street. Iran's people deserve better.

By the way, expect Butler to compare the Iranian protesters to Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stirring up the emotions of the gullible and undereducated American populace in a similar fashion to what we saw leading into the Ukraine debacle. WAR IS A RACKET. 3 letter agencies spreading misinformation and stirring up emotions based upon spurious and the factually incorrect accusations.

Political Murder as Conserative Policy?

Well, both the Iranian religious leaders and ICE killers are willing to discard the enlightenment principles. You can fairly easily call the Iranian murderers part of a religious dictatorship. It is fairly easy to label them as bad guys, though quite a different flavor of bad guys than we are seeing in the US.

Just how different are the two? What is common is a willingness to murder folks for protesting questionable policy. ICE seems willing to kill people for political gain. The difference is how rational the Trump / ICE policy is. You get reports of Trump's lack of rationality and sentience. His restraint of ICE and lethal intent seem insufficient to prevent the political murders. The mechanism by which the cabinet or Congress can remove him are not that far along, but Trump is loosing the GOP. Both the Congress and cabinet are so far treating political murder an acceptable policy. I don't see a two thirds vote of the Senate as likely to materialize. Still, Trump is no longer acting pro rural voter. The GOP is losing any path to retain power following Trump. I can see where Trump's policies and mental state could result in the cabinet preferring Vance to Trump, with the ICE murders being one of many issues. We'll have to see.

The origination of the nation was by anti-establishment people, was it not? But we also have to be aware that stirring up internal division and causing internal conflict is absolutely going on for us and by us abroad.
I actually have a little sympathy for Karl Marx. If you are revolting against kings or dictators, yes, you need an armed revolution. The American and French Revolutions were well before Marx, but the Marxist principles are there. The problem is that Communism results in dictatorships, Yes, you force out kings and dictators, but you replace them with dictators. If your revolutionary government doesn't include enlightenment values, the result of the revolution is not productive.

You need a form of government which benefits the people not the elites. Democracy does that in principle. You cannot forget entirely a loyalty to the voters. Still, it is tempting for the politicians to want to become part of the elite, to take favors and privilege.

I think Trump, MAGA and the GoP have become too obviously pro elite. Lately, they have not been serving their rural base well at all. The too few intermediate elections have been going Democratic. I can't help but think how heavy the vote swung in the last high. Congress went heavily Democratic for decades. It might happen again if the GoP stays loyal to the elites.

I think one should keep in mind whether political organizations act in the interests of the typical voter or the elites. The Trump variation of the GoP held while they really acted in the interests of MAGA. This unfortunately included a racist element, against blacks and latinos. That has faded somewhat in the second Trump term, but so has the loyalty to the rural voters. They are losing their base. They may lose Congress. The result may be similar to the shift in the last high.

Best times to cross over to Taiwan from China are April and October.

The CCP missed their big chance in October 2024. Biden was still president then. They could have counted on zero decisive action by the USA then.
