politics @lemmy.world•Trump threatens to attack Iran's power plants if Strait of Hormuz not opened within 48 hours
22·7 hours agoThis is a stated intent to destroy, or set in motion events that will destroy, much of the oil and power infrastructure in several countries .
I really hope this is only a manipulation of the markets , because otherwise things will never be the same.
Americans have a duty to make this not happen

3·1 day agoThere is so much money that I believe all things could be done. But in a very real way this money is an illusion. Never meant to be gathered for, or spent on anything, except a few citizens.
If for some reason the defense industry was shut down today, there would be a new scam tomorrow to replace it; except maybe at a lower level of spending .

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•West Point analysis warns that strait of Hormuz blockade will strangle US defense industry
1·3 days agoYes, a regional power that is run by evil people. But this is probably the last military campaign far away, at least I hope so. I think it really depends on fast the American bases collapse worldwide

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•West Point analysis warns that strait of Hormuz blockade will strangle US defense industry
5·3 days agoThe USA is incapable of building up its military; it could not before this extra handicap.
And while it does have massive defense spending, I think most is lost to graft, bribes and theft. Probably the true weight of its military budget is 10% of the amount ( so 90% lost to crime)
At best, the us military has remnants of a world spanning military, and will be only a regional power when it expends stuff, or has things destroyed, that it cannot replace

I’ve become convinced that American politics is going to be fundamentally changed sooner than we thought. That’s not to say that it will be better, or more humanistic, or even more realistic. I just think there will be a shift in the no kings march; and a change in the opposition rhetoric, at a minimum

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Trump Advisers Urge Him to Find Iran Exit Ramp, Fearing Political Backlash
2·9 days agoI think I was frustrated because nobody I talked to wanted to learn the context. Indeed, their entire political participation demanded they ignore it.
It took me a few years to understand it in that way.
And for the longest time I was mystified why the marginalized people could see it plainly while anyone who participated anywhere on the political spectrum : - from progressive to liberal to libertarian to mega to religious extremist , and the mainstream news - ignored the basics of democracy. It was to me, the most peculiar thing about American culture
