Wow! Great to hear the three of you analyze what is going, US suckered into this war by Russia and the complicity of Witkoff and Kushner, ie “the village idiots”.

Putin knows that Trump has surrounded himself by sycophants that don’t have the military experience or background to understand

Witkoff and Kushner- GPA 4.0 from Trump University- "The Russians told us they didn't give the Iranians information and we believe them."

It's not just that Trump and Hegseth didn't listen to the knowledgeable people, the most experienced and knowledgeable people are gone.

Fired. Retired. Dismissed.

This administration obliterated the brain trust in our military and our government. They obliterated the leaders with expertise, integrity, training, and experience.

There's no one left to speak wisdom and provide guardrails.

There is never a coincidence. Ever. Anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

Thanks for getting rid of the black background for posting. My tired, aging eyes appreciate it.

Congrats to Jacob for his book. Looking forward for it to be in English or German.

Trump uses "Doublethink" and his cabinet and Fox News uses "Duckspeak" from Orwell's "1984" because this is who fascists talk. It has us flabbergasted, but it has a purpose. I wrote about the use of these two words here.

Witkoff "Duckspeak"

Kushner "Duckspeak"

Witkoff is committing treason.

We're adults, but these people negotiating this war and the nuclear situation are not. The discussion I am reading about the uranium that Iran has is different from what the US government and its reps are telling me.

The Iranians knowing they can outlast the US sounds an awful lot like the colonial Americans going against the forces of England in 1775.

I agree. After all, Afghanistan is a much smaller country, and what do we have there? Everything that was done by the US and other countries being there for 20 years, seems to be undone. Russia was in there before and also did not change the culture. The Taliban is back and in charge, maybe challenged by ISIS. We shall see.

Also, about not evacuating non-essential personnel, it tells us that our "partners" in this war do not like us enough to give us the heads up. hat is what trabsactional only relationships gets Trump.

You don't think Israelis have been indoctrinated for generations for this crap? You don't see how harmful colonialism and imperialism have been? You don't think destroying one country after another in the region doesn't affect everyone who survives? You guys sound really out of touch with reality or uber racist or something. Holy cow.

To say that Zev, Jacob and Dean « sound out of touch with reality or u er racist » is ludicrous. Slither back under your rock

The Israelis I know personally are against this war.

And Israel !!!!

Please: would the two of you, Zev and Dean, PLEASE learn how to pronounce Jacob's name correctly in the Danish pronunciation instead of the dumb, hubristic, ignorant American mispronunciation, which is an insult?????? Really! I hate hearing how lazy you are about respecting him.

Philosopher's avatar

Thanks! I love knowing the his name and its pronunciation,

Let us remember that the US and allies deposed a leader of Iran because he nationalized their oil.... this whole situation is complicated.
