This is a massive (and illegal) expansion of the surveillance state.

Our checks and balances failed because our people have failed.
Our military leadership failed.
Cops, as always, fail continuously.
We have a few judges having any success fighting.
Congress? Fail.

A former Missouri police officer who took nude images from womenβs phones during traffic stops was sentenced to two years in prison on Wednesday.
As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But Iβm not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
I wish we didnβt have to pick up the tab for his motherβs refusal to hug him as a child.
This is why there is a 'world war' aspect:
The US-led order is at war with the confrontation states - Russia, China, Iran.
It has a limited capacity of Interceptors, munitions, THAAD air defense, drones etc.
Hence: Theater prioritization
"Iran war may leave Ukraine without critical air defenses"
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didnβt applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldnβt now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.
I support regime changeβ¦.
In the USA!

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generationβs worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
Itβs time for accountability.

Coz Strait of Hormuz is not US pvt property!
There are few such oil chokepoints ..."5 keys lock up the world"
-Malacca, Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, Suez, Dardanelles, Panama

Great read. I was unaware of so many significant historical actions in this report.
Thanks for that!
It's just a tool. Abject sociopathic greed is the real problem.
Been watching the Congressional circle jerk leading up to this for over four decades.

The enemy gets a vote: After Iranian fire on Gulf Kingdoms, Market and Oil traders finally woke up to LONG war and not idiotic view of a SHORT war.

AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though weβre just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard.
First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are
"Compared to the last maximum disruption during the 1956 Suez Crisis (as a percentage of total liquids demand), this represents the largest oil supply loss in history, by a factor of two
Worse, unlike in past crises, there's zero spare capacity available"- David McNally of Rapidan
This is ridiculous
Progressives know, and don't want any of it to happen.
Republicans salivate over it.
Democrats are doing whatever Democrats do.
Hint. The pussy without a mask.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...donβt trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesnβt bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesnβt create jobs
Folks, weβve seen this all before.

There was a saying: "There are no atheists in a foxhole."
I agree that there should be no atheists in any foxhole in Iran.
This is a holy war!
What the fuck are people who don't believe the fairy tales fighting for?
Line up all these Christian Zionists and send them.
They should go willingly.
