Another Instant Gratification war

[Charmin One]

Some are cheering Khanenei’s death now, but what will happen in the future? Trump doesn’t really have a plan for Iran.
Oh, and the attack is against international law.

1. Trump thinks of all politics as one-off contests between individuals

He hasn't had a policy thought in his life. Everything is a one-on-one fight between two people. That's all he understands. So, in this sense, he doesn't care about (policy) consequences at all: there's a fight, you either win or lose. Period.

It is a deeply childish belief, but he thinks like a child, so that's not surprising.

More surprising are those abetting his nonsense by trying to leverage his limited understanding for their own purposes. Also included in the abettors' group are the "optimists" who envision the most positive consequences flowing from all of Trump's goofy actions (like the Wave of clowns spamming message boards about how everything will be better now).

2. I think this attack was also a warning to other countries whose leaders fail to obey him.

Denmark and NATO, be wary of the madman in the White House.

He is drunk on his power to do whatever he wants any time he wants. And we have a military leadership that will support every illegal act of war. These illegal attacks on other countries need to be laid at the feet of Republicans in Congress. They have the power to stop his depredations on this and other countries by impeaching him and removing him from office. Either they love what he is doing (my theory per Tom Cotton's remarks) or they fear his retaliation. Such possible retaliation could be moot if we actually had a DOJ willing to enforce the law and prosecute him.

3. This is another Epstein distraction

That's all.

5. And it was even...

Predicted by Epstein himself, ask Ben Meiselas, he put out a whole video about it, apparently it;s in the files in email exchanges with steve three shirts bannon back in 2018.

4. And the man was 86 years old. 86!

Chances are that there was already a delegation of powers in place.

Anyway, we are about to find out if it's true they were proactive about succession procedures.

So, far, no sign of a people led rebellion, which means Trump will lose in the short run.
