War of Ego

Trump, tending to his easily-wounded ego, is going to launch a ground invasion of Iran, and its only accomplishment will be the deaths of thousands of American troops. Of course, if this happens, Trump won’t relent, but will double down. He’ll send in tens of thousands more, and they’ll die too. Iran has 610,00 active-duty soldiers who, being soldiers defending against an invading force, have a will and reason to fight viciously.

I have a feeling that multiple people surrounding Trump are using variations of the familiar middle school phrase, “Are you really going to let them make you look like a fool?” or, “Iran is embarrassing you on the world stage!” We all know what effect this has on people like Trump. Soldiers will die because of it.

Hegseth fires more generals

Our military is beginning to rebel against the senseless slaughter. Let Hegseth fly the jets himself.

Israel bombs every Iranian negotiator before they can talk to us

Our Executive Branch needs to find out who is leaking to Israel the identity and location of every negotiator that Iran sends to the table. Someone is committing high treason. Israel forced us into this war, and now they’re sabotaging any efforts to end it. Will Trump ever admit that they are an enemy, not an ally, of the US?

Trump doubles down on depravity against Iranian people

What has happened to this person? He’s overseeing a mass slaughter of thousands of Iranians, and he openly brags about it. What was this war for? Just the hell of it? We were not attacked by Iran. On the contrary, Iran has been under constant threat of attack for decades by the US and Israel. Now they’re being slaughtered, and our leaders don’t even have the time of day to propagandize the public. In the Bush years, propaganda was a high art. The CIA sweated blood, racked their brains to come up with the most potent psyop. I miss that effort.

I thought we were supposed to be helping the “Iranian resistance”? Of course, that was never what this was about. Something has triggered Trump’s ego. He can’t stand someone who won’t bow down to him, be an individual or a nation. There is no one more dangerous than that, who only tolerates fawning sycophants, and exiles from his presence anyone who offers contrary advice. This is how he’s being manipulated and controlled. What an absolute disaster.
