The way they justify everything in the modern time. “The strong do what they will. The weak suffer what they must.” If you are in the US, pray that you are never weak. | ||

They stopped doing that, really. You might've missed it but the "department of defense" is now "department of war'. | ||

1. Iranians protested. 2. Islamists massacred them. 3. Trump said "help is on its way" ( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/13/trump-promises... ) 4. Now is the help. --- Trump also said that when he says things he means them, unlike Obama's red lines in Syria (his words). When he said that, it was pretty clear he couldn't back off of attacking Iran. I assume it took so long because he's going for regime change, not just a few bombings. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, it took the US 5 months to launch a counter-invasion (mostly because of coalition building). | ||
