degringoladeTrump and Israel not so much started a war as they raised the stakes on a game that has been played since the events of the period 1947-1953.
Our spineless congress laid down and did nothing.
Those two facts are facts that I can do nothing about.
Wars are an "in or out" deal. I want our side to win. There is no such thing as a just war so I don't want to hear anything about how immoral or unjust the war is. We are in it, we should be in it to win and enforce our will on the country we are at war with.
There is nothing moral about it. By definition, war is the suspension of morality and civilization.
I genuinely hope that we can do the bare minimum of what is needed to not lose this war. Even if we win, there is going to be a lot of pain on everyone.
It doesn't look good right now. Win or lose, I can't see any path where we are going to be in better condition a year from now than we were at the beginning of 2026.
I sure hope that I am wrong again.
