Invade Iran ? Picture the opening scene of "Saving Private Ryan".

I always hear about the brave soldiers who "defend" us and, somehow, save our freedom and democracy by starting wars. Is that defending anything ?

I grew up on Air Force bases. Graduated HS in 1968. Several boys I went to school with died in Viet Nam. I STILL don't know what they died for. Others lost legs, arms, eyes. What were they defending ? Was Viet Nam going to attack us ?

How was our democracy and feedom at risk. The "story" - there's always a story - like the Iraq WMD and the Iran "2 weeks from a nuclear weapon" ... we were saving the world from communism. We had to defeat the Viet Cong or communism would spread like falling dominoes. Scary !!!

Didn't happen when we LOST. Iraq had NO WMD. Iran stopped their nuclear weapons program in 2003 and the most intrusive IAEA and other inspections suffered by any country never found any weapons program.

The current status reveals that the U.S. has lost the war that we began at Israel's behest.

Trouble is, we have two mad men who will not accept that reality: Trump, a narcissist, will do dangerous things (sending more troops now) only so he's not seen as a loser; and Netanyahu will bomb the hell out of Lebanon, continue the ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank, because, well, he's just evil.

It was an immoral war we launched, and we're fortunate that Iran has turned out to be the moral party that is avoiding escalation. Who'd have thought that!?

From here, it all looks like the same day being recycled for years now.

Genocide here, here, here, and here. Brought to us by Israel, US, and UAE.

"Target practice" on live human beings in the Caribbean and Pacific in order to perfect tactics to be used against the Iranian Navy's fast boats.

Committing more resources and human life to the cause of desecration and domination of the people of North Africa, the Middle East, and West Asia.

The US eating itself alive by elected traitors. Congress - somehow - still sitting on its hands while all of this is happening.

The EU doing its best impression of the current US Democratic establishment - that is to say, hand wringing and mumbling over all of the above catastrophes while doing literally nothing of substance.

The "civilized" world allowing Israel and the US to carry on slaughtering any society they please, so long as those societies are non-white and happen to be located atop vast amounts of resources.

You know what? I feel like I'm just repeating myself. And it feels like the world is repeating itself too. We are becoming repeating machines at the expense of humanity.

I didn't see Netanyahu's name on the ballot when I voted in the last US election. Seems he and AIPAC Zionists are running our country. I should have said ruining our country.

Our warlike actions make me ashamed to be an American. While we NEVER were the shining paragon we like to think of ourselves as, we were never so determined to ruin the world as we are now. Our fingerprints can be found everywhere that warlike conditions appear. And one MAN is responsible along with his cowardly acolytes.

The US shackled an 86 year old French woman and threw her in a Louisiana ICE prison. Her crime? Attempting to marry her NATO based sweetheart from the 1950’s.

Can Drop Site imbed the Tuesday livestream show in Substack for paid subscribers?

That would allow us to bypass YouTube and all the ads
