6. No social media, best you had was Something Awful.

He should get Hillary to take care of Bibi for him and do a coup of the entity in exchange for unspecified favors. It's about the only way out of this situation I can see that isn't a powerful actor like Russia or China doing a blocks your path type move of putting a bunch of powerful advanced anti-air assets there to prevent the US bombing from working. A move by the way which would immediately draw the ire of all the salivating, hand-rubbing war-hawk ghouls thinking they'll finally get to destroy Iran. It would definitely dial up the tension between whoever did it and the west and place them firmly as enemy number one.

I almost think Russia could afford it a bit more than China though maybe not as it might be enough to anger the apocalyptic Kkkristians into demanding NATO be sent into Ukraine and daring Russia to nuke them because one way or the other they want the end of the world.

We also had Linkin Park and Evanescence so it wasnt all bad (jk)

Any such long running state conspiracy to topple Iran militarily (which definitely appears to be real) would at least need a president willing to launch it.

Between Kamala and Trump, I'm honestly partly convinced that the latter is the only one that is willing to not give the order despite everyone around them baying for blood. Kamala and Biden may not be the kind that post "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!!!" but they're the kind that would let their advisors convince them of pulling the trigger anyway.

Ahe reminds me of Obama in a way, that he presented himself as the sensible and charismatic politician to his opponent, who even criticised things like Guantanamo, but in office quietly ramped up any war that his advisors were sure wouldn't bite them in the ass.

My horseshoe theory friend would never let me hear the end of it

He cant control Bibi but can Bibi control him?

It wasn't a secret, this was the Neo-Con's PNAC (Project for a New American Century).

Personally, every say since Trump called for "unconditional surrender" the chance gets lower. Trump's wildcard is that he might randomly change his mind either way, but I would argue that a lot of the build up is part of his cabinet's efforts to make a potential war look fast, cheap (in terms of losses), and popular.

They thought he'd go all in on day one and now they're sweetening the deal.

I think he will in the end, but he's clearly worried about the political fallout of all out war with Iran.

I mean they did the same in Ukraine and look how that's going.
