I watched for less than one minute, as he came across as more demented than ever. I did not expect any important info to be revealed, but I had a tiny hope that our ground troops would not go on this suicide mission. I grieve for all the people, on all sides, who will be killed.

Thank you for watching it and reporting on his blathering. I assume whatever he said last night was different than the random thoughts that passed between his ears earlier in the day, and what he'll say today - or maybe he'll talk about pens or his beautiful signature on dollar bills.

The only thing that seems certain is that the deployed ground forces are going in -whether on the coast or inland at Isfahan and other locations to attempt to seize the nuclear material. With a three-day weekend (and a closed stock market) tonight would seem to be a window for the start, except for the full moon. But I'm not sure if that would deter Trump and his drunken Minister of War Crimes.

Thank you, Bill! This "bombing will continue" unless the Strait is re-opened, sounds like the old warning: "the beatings will continue until morale improves."

I forced myself to watch it, or rather, tried to watch it. I found the first minute, about the moon launch, to be reassuringly lucid. After that it went rapidly downhill, into the usual verbal, incoherent swamp. I also thought, dear God, this stuff is in the historical record, what will future historians - big assumption, or presumption, will there be a future from which historians will write? - make of this nuttiness? That wasn't the accumulation of these unhinged ramblings enough to have him committed?

There needs to be an emendation here: "... what he’s really saying is that only one violent and thuggish regime merits such a blank check on inflicting global violence protected by a nuclear shield. It’s not Iran’s, it’s his." Tack on Israel to that.

Hello All... Earlier that Day, DJT said the USA doesn't have the $$$ for School Lunches, for Health-Care, or Education because of DJT's Iran War... Seems to me, that if one includes the $$$ that the USA has given Israel since Oct. 7th 2023, as well as DJT's Golf Trips, this DJT War has cost over 200-Billion $$$ so far... Sickness... Very Sick....

Trump's message, aside from the obvious narcissism of its speaker, could be summarized in 3 words, sparing everyone the time and pain of listening to him: "Might makes right".

A lesson in cause and effect, for those who believe they are above the law: When a nation’s power operates as piracy with a flag—seizing tankers in international waters, enforcing its unilateral will as global law—it does not merely break treaties.

It breaks the civic covenant at home. It teaches its own people, in a language clearer than any sermon, that law is not principle, but the will of the strongest. That rules are for the weak. That sovereignty is a fiction to be ignored when inconvenient.

Now add the accelerant of a contracting economy: stagnant wages, impossible debt, a generation with no stake in the future.

The lesson learned abroad becomes the survival logic at home.

The result is the volatile cocktail of our generation: the vigilante, the politician defying courts, the citizen who no longer believes the system is legitimate—only that it is rigged.

You cannot break international law abroad and expect domestic law to be revered at home.

The seed of lawlessness, sown by imperial edict, is now sprouting in your own streets. This is not a political forecast. It is a spiritual law, as old as the prophets: “They sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.” (Hosea 8:7).

The aircraft carrier that seized the tanker is the same power that arms the siege of Gaza. The domestic unravelling is the inevitable reflux of that exported violence.

You are building a world on the principle that might makes right. Your own people are now learning the lesson. What will you build when they have learned it completely?

And the Biggest Bomb Award goes to....(drum roll..)... Donald J. Trump! For failing, bigger than anyone else, in front of a large audience. Failing, "the likes of which the world has never seen."

"We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong."

Which I guess means we are not there to help choose a more democratic government. (sarc)

Mr. T I pity the Fools (April) We're gonna hurt the fools, we're gonna hit the fools, we're gonna beat the fools, real hard, real bad... Sending them back to the Stone Age --Tribes of Hunter Gatherers, and reduced to rudimentary stone- tools, plus primitive agriculture. What could be more Democratic? "Survival of the Fittest" Sure am glad we're the First Responders of the World when everything goes wrong-- we're gonna make it right. (also sarc)

"The most violent and thuggish regime on earth would be free to carry out their campaigns of terror, coercion, conquest and mass murder from behind a nuclear shield." That describes America since 1945- over 300 military interventions-wars coups that have killed tens of millions of civilians. Its economic warfare sanctions have killed tens of millions alone. America and Israel are the real terrorist states. Iran has merely fought against ethnic cleansing-genocide against American corporatism controlling its resources against making it a Vassel state. America's violent overreaching was and is after one priority expanding American corporatism. Any American who joined the American military after 1945 joined it with a head full of propaganda-bullshit.

Putting aside Trump’s calumny, projection and delusion, the plan seems to the same U.S. had for Hanoi. In 15 year’s Tehran will look like Hanoi in 1973.

Trump is the reincarnation of George C. Scott’s character in Dr Strangelove.

Apache's avatar

Hello Kold... DJT doesn't have the 'Class' of George C. Scott...

Kold Kold's avatar

Absolutely true!

Alex's avatar

Scott was wary about playing such a crazed character but Kubrick assured him he could play it conservative. But Kubrick also said he wanted one take where Scott takes it to the limit and Scott did so. That take of course was the one Kubrick used in the film.... I've been watching this station on Youtube "Serious Feather" that has backgrounds on movies if you like such a thing.

Chris Hedges lists many 'proxy terrorist groups' the US financed and supported over the years Western MSM never highlights, and most people don't know or remember in this video.

I just learned of Dimitri Lascaris, a fellow Canadian just Today.

Reading his Wikipedia Biography, he accomplished a lot in his 63 years.

I have been involved in the same causes independent of him since 1976 and started following him.

Not many musicians making money producing real protest songs like this, against what we see on TV daily since the US/Israel started raining DEATH and DESTRUCTION from the sky!

Where is our Common Humanity?

I was at my sisters house, and they had Fox on. Absolutely pointless. No real information. I don’t think even one thing I heard could possibly be true.
