The Iranians have a vote on when the war ends. And they say that they are just getting started.
The U.S.-Israeli stand-off air-strike model of waging war is being challenged by a quite different strategic asymmetric war - one first planned by Iran more than 20 years ago.
This is important to understand when trying to judge where the war balance sheet truly lies.

Arguments about the right to own guns often turn out to be arguments about the meaning of the "right to keep and bear arms" in the Second Amendment. These debates are important, and I will say something about them later, but there is an even more essential issue.
As libertarians, we believe that people have rights. Each person owns himself and his legitimately acquired property.
Inflation ensues.

In Stanford marshmallow experiments, children are tested to see if they will delay taking a reward right away and instead wait for a promised greater reward. Politicians similarly can represent cronies and buy some votes now, or they can severely limit governments and earn more votes soon enough.
Major parties have done well by limiting governments, as shown by the startup of each dominating party.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
No US interest is served in allowing political domination by Israel

The extent to which Israeli interests have come to dominate US foreign policy in the Middle East can be measured in terms of its effectiveness if one considers the seven trips to the US made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during President Donald Trump's first year in office.

One of the most ominous and fateful moments in history happened on July 23, 1914, at 6:00 PM, almost one month after the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. At that moment, the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum, which led directly to World War I, was delivered to Serbia.
The document was presented in Belgrade by Baron Wladimir Giesl von Gieslingen, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to Serbia, to the Serbian Minister of Finance, Lazar Paču, who was the acting deputy of the Serbian Prime Minister, Nikola Pašić.

L'Amministrazione "neocons" Trump, presentata in Europa dai suoi agenti infiltrati come "isolazionista", ha finalmente e definitivamente gettato la maschera imbarcandosi in un conflitto senza via d'uscita contro l'Iran.
L'11 settembre 2001 aveva rappresentato in questo folle contesto un "salto di qualità" o, meglio, un'accelerazione verso l'obiettivo finale: conquistare e sottomettere l'Eurasia fino al suo più inviolato santuario, il centro Asia e poi la Siberia.

Remember all the hasbarists and empire apologists who said it was a misfired Iranian missile that hit the school. Remember how aggressively and uniformly they all pushed this lie, including the president of the United States. Then understand that they're going to keep lying like this throughout the entire war.

An ongoing internal US military investigation has reportedly found the United States responsible for a Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian girls' school which killed at least 175 people at the beginning of the US-Israeli onslaught.

Comment une nation transforme-t-elle la guerre en une industrie de trillions de dollars ?
Dans cette vidéo, nous explorons l'histoire documentée de la transformation progressive de la guerre en un système économique massif aux États-Unis. Ce n'est pas une théorie du complot. Ce sont des faits historiques, des chiffres économiques et des mécanismes politiques qui se sont construits sur plus de 80 ans.

Donald Trump.
Donald Trump affirme que l'Iran est vaincu tout en rejetant l'idée d'un accord. Ses déclarations contrastent avec la poursuite des frappes et des représailles iraniennes. Cette rhétorique ambiguë alimente les doutes sur la stratégie américaine dans le conflit.
Deux semaines après le début de la guerre au Moyen-Orient, le président américain Donald Trump affirme que l'Iran est "complètement vaincu" et cherche désormais à conclure un accord avec Washington.

By 1935 the United States was six years into the Great Depression and three years into Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal revolution. Washington had begun reorganizing the American economy through a bewildering array of alphabet agencies. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration plowed crops under while people went hungry. The National Recovery Administration attempted to cartelize entire industries.

President Trump, in an effort to rescue himself from a war that he began without adequate preparation, as he was warned to no avail by his hand-picked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has propositioned Russian President Putin.
The deal Trump has offered is to free Russian oil from sanctions on the condition that Putin direct the released oil flows to Europe away from Asia.

Two days after the bombing of Dresden in February 1945, British Air Commodore Colin Grierson told journalists that the goal of firebombing the ancient and beautiful city was to take out its communications and transportation capacity. He then added that bombing the civilians helped to destroy "what is left of German morale."

This was the experience of 18 Catholic high school boys and two heroic teachers from The Heights School in Potomac, Maryland, who had the great fortune to connect through Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates pretty much at the same time President Trump unleashed unholy hell on the Mullahs in Iran.
