I think the best option right now is a large anti-war protest in DC this weekend. Organizers should do it. No NSSE threat, just MPD and a compressed time schedule. I think the political environment strongly favors such a move, with bigger being better. Helps to overload them cognitively also.

However this comes out, Trump will claim that he supported the right decision on this and his followers will agree with him and think he is a genius. Just like what happened with the Iraq war, which he supported until it became unpopular.

ARENDT: "The outstanding negative quality of the totalitarian elite is that it never stops to think about the world as it really is and never compares the lies with reality. Its most cherished virtue, correspondingly, is loyalty to the Leader, who, like a talisman, assures the ultimate victory...

Trump Fascists are on the move. His Republican MAGA base includes ICE’s Gestapo, armed Military, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People of Color. Led by life-long racist Donald Trump, these MAGAts are trying to convert the USA into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy.

US own intelligence knows Iran does not have any nuclear weapons. The only reason Trump is bombing Iran is because he wants Fox and friends to love him. He does not care about American national interest or about much other than himself & the war criminal Netanyahu's warm soothing voice in his ear.

Trump is solely responsible for Iran producing nuclear weapons, having rejected the multi-nation (including US) agreements w. Iran to not purse them, in his first term. He seems to be itching for war, just like he's started at home.

I have to revise my statement in that previous post. Apparently US Intelligence have told Trump that there is no production of nuclear weapons by Iran. It's pretty much the same as the myth of WMDs in Iraq. The attack by Netanyahu is to keep Israel in perpetual war to avoid court & prison.

Vi el debate y francamente el nivel del representante de la administración Trump, daba vergüenza ajena, norteamerica es un peligro para la seguridad de este mundo que habitamos, el poder armamentístico de EEUU está en manos de retrasados.

It's a fictitious dilemma since US intelligence declared that Iran was neither working on nor capable of building nuclear weapons and Iran's enriched uranium was sealed and daily controlled by the IAEA. Who said otherwise? Netanyahu, with his same old mantra, and Trump, his willing servant.

Wrong analysis. "No war" contingent = Pro-Russia, worried that weakened Iran will have to stop supporting their Dear Leader in Moscow. "Go For It" contingent = We follow Trump blindly no matter what he does.

America, you are so distrusted and hated. Your previous ally’s gave your third world country some respect, but now!!! Good luck, but the rest of the world will never be the same towards you. I don’t really mean good luck, actually the complete opposite!

Framing these as dueling promises presupposes that war is the only way to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Either you're neglecting to point out how dumb his supporters are, or you're also that dumb.

Israeli PM Netanyahu has already pulled is into a winless war, arguing that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that regime change would stabilize the Middle East. He is at it again with Iran. Will Trump fall for it? We need nuclear agreement/diplomatic solution! Not war!!
