Assuming you're American, that's very easy for you to say. I'm thinking you might not think that if you lived in Gaza or Tehran or Kyiv Tel Aviv.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

Seeing COOTWH, JD Byryder, Lil Marco Rube and Pig Seth at the podium while COOTWH blathered on about bombing Iran, I couldn’t help but think of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but then I saw Bibi and his taint licking and thought somehow the Fifth Horseman had peeled off.

So they'll probably just claim this isn't a war.
Once again, as they have done for Democratic and Republican presidents alike for the past eighty years, Congress has completely abdicated its responsibility to declare war.As much as I wished staying uninvolved to be one campaign “promise” he kept, the potus does get 90 days without congress, and I doubt he keeps it up that long, unless Iran attacks American soil. In that case getting a vote would be plausible. Let’s hope it’s over by then.
for those getting angry at this, for good cause, this was all set in motion by Oct 7th, and enabled by Russia being tied up in Ukraine. And by trumps dumb decision to tear up the Iran nuclear treaty0 -

For decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the Iranian nuclear enterprise intolerable, both for Israel and for the world. “In many ways, Netanyahu is a flagrantly duplicitous politician; there is little he won’t say or do to maintain his coalition and his power,” David Remnick writes. “But he is right in this.” A nuclear-armed Iran would threaten Israel (which has had nuclear weapons for decades) and could provoke Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and others to pursue such a weapon, too. While the Israeli government absorbed international condemnation for its excesses and crimes in Gaza, its forces have defeated proxy militias and regimes throughout the region that have been bankrolled by Iran.
This was the moment of weakness in Tehran that Netanyahu had been waiting for. In the past two weeks, Israel has eliminated the uppermost ranks of Iran’s military and intelligence leadership and of its nuclear scientists. But it did not take long for Netanyahu’s rhetoric and tactics to shift—from a focus on the attacks against military and nuclear sites to broader, more perilous ambitions. Netanyahu has hinted that he wants Donald Trump to dispatch American bombers. To avoid another conflict in the Middle East, “the American President will have to temper his worst impulses for a ‘quick win’ and negotiate,” David Remnick writes. But Trump is hardly a model of discernment. Read more: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/P131G8_____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________
