The response to the attack on Iran has been immediate and somewhat visceral. And with good reason. There is so much not to like about the once-again-unilateral decision to rain death and destruction down on Iran.
On the surface, it’s a confab between hardline criminals—Trump and Netanyahu, though obviously planned with some intent to decapitate Iranian leadership capabilities (they had it coming…). But to basically say to the people of Iran, “Here, now it’s up to you to take your country back,” – like we’re doing them a huge favor—is simply convenient, pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking.
And of course Trump gets off on being the one who sells it on the home front with appeals to patriotism and sacrifice—things he knows nothing about. It’s dumb and tragic, yet one more reminder of the lengths these two will go to distract from their own tenuous existence on this side of prison.
After 9/11, it was WMD, this time it’s nukes. It was bullshit then, and most likely bullshit now. And take the damned hat off, Donald, when you’re breaking such God-forsaken news. Deep-six the hats. They’re not a good look.
