    Bereft of any honor from all the wars waged in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, I guess the U.S. is going for figurative and literal broke by the steam forward ahead into the brewing shit storm between Iran and Israel.
    The US should be sitting at home and licking its wounds and healing its soldiers and economy instead of setting forth on another insane adventure with Israel as the captain of its ship.
    There is nothing to win here. Nothing.
    The US government needs to examine its relationship with Isreal bigtime. Need some theraputic intervention here. This relationship where the US sends billions to Isreal every year for them to be aggressors in the middle east? What’s that all about?
    Fluck. What a flucking shitstorm.
