I love a parade, don't you? A parade with tanks of multiple tonnage stressing the streets of Washington, D.C. The parade ordered by President Donald John Trump, Sr. will cost an estimated 45 million dollars, some of that cost predicted to be for repairs to the streets. An elephant herd tramples their way through a village, too bad for the villagers who have to clean up the shit.
Trump had to know that his parade would be at least somewhat overshadowed by the aerial bombardments exchanged since June 13 by Israeli aircraft and Iranian drones and missiles. Trump, according to Prime Minister and wanted international criminal Netanyahu, knew of the Israeli assault in advance. Of course he did, in spite of what Secretary of State Rubio claimed, that the U.S. didn't have anything to do with it. Israel needs in-air refueling for its fighter jets, this necessity coming courtesy of the United States.
I'm not an expert on military affairs. I've just been living in a country, the U.S., since 9/11 and years prior to that, which doesn't know how to keep its dick in its pants. The United States has been waving its lethal dick at the world for so long now that it's easy to simply assume that an assist to Israel, no matter how unjustifiable its actions, should be automatically regarded as truth.
Pizza delivery workers on the Pentagon beat reported that in the hours leading to Israel's initial assault on Iran, they received a large increase in orders. They should make pizzas in the shape of pentagons.
It should be no surprise that the U.S. backs Israel like a gambler with money at stake in a fight. American assistance could lead to direct U.S. participation. The parade could be a symbolic and pornographic demonstration of how America will fight, finally, Iran. Overthrowing Iran's government in 1953 wasn't enough. Multiple decades of fucking with that country have led our crop of Neoconservative philosophers to throw together a plan to topple Iran's government, removing from the metaphorical chessboard one of Russia's key allies.
That's the plan, anyway. The problem lies in Iran's military strength, its newfound unification of purpose in opposing Israel's aggression. Iran has launched a mass of drones and missiles at numerous sites in Israel, hitting, among other locations, the headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces in Tel Aviv. The seaport of Haifa has been hit, including, reportedly, an oil refinery.
Iran's ability to maintain their assault appears to be reliable. Israel, meanwhile, is disadvantaged by having to fly their fighters a great distance, as they also lack the types of earth-penetrating bombs that could, maybe, demolish Iran's underground nuclear sites.
Again, I don't offer these words as proof of any special knowledge of military affairs practiced currently by Israel, the U.S., or Iran, but I hear things like analysis by military experts and others who know about the capabilities of the IDF and also of Iranian military forces. I operate from the viewpoint of knowing how I feel about all of this, that it's obvious to me that Israel, as it's currently being bombed by Iran, would not be feeling such damage if they hadn't attacked Iran in the first place, calling it a "preemptive strike."
Okay dumbasses, your preemptive strike caused Iranian strikes to happen. I would stick by that idea of pure stupidity on the Israeli side, if I were to believe that Netanyahu and others, Israeli and American, operate from the standpoint of Three Stooges-type idiocy. The assault on Iran, though, was a deliberate act of aggression in violation of international law. It's been in the planning stages for a long time. Netanyahu knew that his country would suffer damage and casualties from Iranian counterattacks. He's made it clear through his actions that he doesn't care about the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The hostages have provided an excuse to continue the war against Hamas and the extermination of the Palestinians in Gaza. Israeli casualties in a war on Iran mean nothing to Benjamin Netanyahu. He seeks to achieve Greater Israel, an expanded country spreading over Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, part of Saudi Arabia. Now, only Iran, and to a lesser degree, Yemen, oppose his Napoleonic complex.
War and mass murder keep Netanyahu in power.
In America, as Trump salutes the troops and tanks marching and treading past him, the parade honors the country's past wars, all of which, except Granada in 1983 and Panama in 1989, the U.S. lost. The parade, held on Trump's seventy-ninth birthday, on Flag Day, on the 250th anniversary of the founding of the colonial U.S. army, symbolizes one thing to this jaded writer: the death of my country, and the triumph of useless military might over the United States Constitution.
