Contemplating a bewildering world through empathy and understanding
While it gives me little pleasure to admit that this may be one of the most satisfying instances of the proverbial fuck around and find out, I make no apology for contemplating it. Indeed, there is very little justice in the world, and Iran's revenge may very well be a little slice of it.
The Department of War has codenamed America's latest vulgar act of international criminality as Operation Epic Fury. While codenames often reflect the thinking of the country's leadership and are usually chosen with much thought, I'm bemused by this current abominable iteration. Whose fury is being immortalised, and why is it supposed to be epic? It's certainly not that of the American people, who have expressed strong disapproval in the polls. It's not that of European countries, which, with some minor exceptions, only grudgingly support Trump's actions out of craven fear. It's certainly not that of the rest of the world.
The honest truth is that America has always been the villain.
Clearly, Trump's shady contrivance is no Board of Peace. For anyone who believes anything of the sort, I have a bridge unscathed from bombing to sell you in Gaza. Trump has constituted what appears to be both an extrajudicial body and a Ponzi scheme. Clearly, the veiled intention is to form a climate conducive to ongoing war so that this dubious body can function in perpetuity while enriching the handful of swindlers running it.
