    They realized it’s easier to justify war if they pretend it’s an ”act of defense”

        It’s frankly stunning just how little these people understand basic politics and the systems they are dismantling. They are profoundly stupid and too ignorant to realize just how intellectually ill-equipped they are. They have no understanding of why the structures they are tearing down were set up, and think that political institutions purposely created to serve their interests are hampering them. They repeat age-old mistakes and think themselves geniuses for it. It’s almost inconceivable that people this malignantly incurious reach positions of power. But they have, they do, and they will again.

          Absolutely correct. All your post, especially the last two sentences. Dunning-Kruger seems to have become infectious.

          The reason they are doing that is because the capitalists have painted themselves in a corner. Wealth inequality is growing wider and wider to where it is hard for the working class to continue to ignore. People are upset and need scapegoats. You can only blame immigrants for so much. So they promise to come in and “disrupt” the government’s bureaucracy. Of course the real reason to do that is not for the benefit of the working class, it is to benefit Trump and the wealthy that inflate his ego.

          But you are right that they have forgotten that people get upset when the trail of corruption leads straight to them instead of being obfuscated in bureaucracy.

    Definitely not a “Special Military Operation.” No, definitely not one of them.

    It’s de facto defense when your pussy troops have to run from Bahrein because you’re getting your ass kicked.
    Iran is at war now and calling the shots.
