Trump and Hegseth's "make-believe" war...

[kentuck]

Brought to you by the Department of War and Orwell's 1984 president.

It doesn't matter who is dying on the ground or who will pay the price for their actions, it only matters that they have the best script for the media.

Hegseth yesterday, went on a rant about the "fake news" media. They were not reporting the way he wanted. He didn't like the way he was photographed so he kicked out a couple of reporters. He suggested alternative headlines for them.

Of course, the out-of-touch president was following his script. He was winning everything. He would accept nothing but "unconditional surrender". When that did not materialize, he came forward with more threats of annihilation.

This war is not real for these people. They are living in a make-believe world. Everything will be great and they will be celebrated as the greatest warriors of their time. People will die but it is a small price to pay.

The Pied Piper of Mar-a-Lago continues on his hell-bent destination.

1. Honest question, is this Phoney War redux?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War

World War II began on 1 September 1939 with Germany's invasion of Poland. This was followed on 3 September by the United Kingdom's and France's declarations of war on Germany, which marked the beginning of the Phoney War period.

Although the Western Allies did not conduct major military actions during the Phoney War, they did implement economic warfare, particularly a naval blockade of Germany, shut down German surface raiders, and formulated elaborate plans for large-scale operations designed to cripple the German war effort. These plans included opening an Anglo-French front in the Balkans, invading Norway to seize control of Germany's main source of iron ore, and imposing an embargo against the Soviet Union, which was Germany's primary oil supplier.

The quiet of the Phoney War was punctuated by a few isolated Allied actions. The French invasion of Germany's Saar district on 7 September, 1939 was intended to assist Poland by diverting German troops from the Polish Front but the half-hearted Saar operation fizzled out within days and France withdrew.

2. Trump is trump and Hegseth is an idiot

But what troubles me is the media. They are bombing Tel Aviv and we hear very little about it. The stock market is shaking and some companies are not allowing people to remove all of their money just a small percentage. The collaborators are making it seem that almost half of Americans support this waste of treasure,I am talking about lives and money. This cretin has been enabled his whole life and the beat goes on.
