"Today, most everyone is plugged into the mass media hivemind." This is well said. Perhaps it is our fundamental animal condition - that we focus on the immediate because that is what nature selects for in order to survive. The luxury of planning has to come second. But now our technology has filled our world with information that our animal nature sees as potential threats, so we gather into the safety of our digital tribes.
Seems—with minor qualification—we can substitute the word “emotional” for clever. Perhaps the only difference is that such once applied most aptly to our Leftists, now we see it prevail among the Conservatives as well as seen in their split between the conservative war mongers and the conservative peaceniks. Soon, unfortunately, there may be no peaceniks at all on the conservative side.
The real war is being fought out right this moment on the streets of Los Angeles. If Trump fails to get those criminals back out of our nation, then it no longer matters what happens overseas. The CIA is the real power in this country, but they cannot be everywhere at once. Clever men and thoughtful men together will not be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Keep your eye on the real war.
Well if they couldn’t keep that “Maryland Man” out of the country it’s game over. There is a significant part of the populace looks at that guy as “one of us”. And a significant additional segment brainwashed to look at him as some sort of victim. Then there are all the lawyers, social workers, teachers, NGOs etc. who make good livings off the immigration industrial complex.
As for the suburban peasants, they have too much to lose to complain too strenuously.
As for Trump he has his donors to placate. He will be depending on them to keep out of jail. Hence the war.
Like I've said before, it's always 1979 for Trump and some people. However, after Iran being demonized and Israel beatified for as long as I have been alive, I find it supremely satisfying that the propaganda that worked on Boomers and Xers ain't working no more. I truly hope that Iran does become a nuclear power, because that will render them not only invasion proof, but force Israel to refrain from using bombs and missiles as a substitute for diplomacy. If anyone will moderate Trump's buffoonish bellicosity, it will be JD Vance and maybe Pete Hegseth. They are not Boomers.
You mean guessing what comes next. Government is always winging it as there is not one decent brain cell in operation throughout the entire DC Swamp. They invoke their tit for tat strategies like clockwork and pay no attention to the constant fallout in the form of unintended consequences...which keeps the government hamster wheel on a steady roll.

No thanks...there is more sanity and sanctity tribing up with a barrel of cats.
Does Trump have a realistic option to salvage this shitshow?
No. He is a symptom of hit. Pat Buchanan was America’s last chance.
Yeah probably. Trump might be the last few beeps in America's heart monitor.
Sorry, no government can be salvaged. It is always DOA.

What a brainwashed douchebag you are. Read more widely. Turn on your bullshit detector.
It's on now. It detected you.

Eh the nuke thing is just a red herring. The goal is regime change.

We're not going to have to concern ourselves with what comes next if this stupid "let's bomb Iran" schtick keeps escalating...
