  1. More threats as Donald Trump says decision on ‘massive attack’ against Iran is close - Anyone who understands the history of Shia Islam knows that suffering and revenge are core tenants underlying the faith. That’s been the case since the battle of Karbala in 680 CE (Muharram 10, 61AH). These kinds of threats from an ill-informed #TrumpRegime only reinforce Iran’s determination and resolve. Now if #Trump follows through with his threats to, in his words, “obliterate” the country, its culture and infrastructure, he’ll be forcing the American #Military to commit #WarCrimes. Is he backed into a corner? Of course he is. I should add that nobody outside hardliners in #Iran approves of the horribly repressive and murderous #theocracy running the country, but two wrongs don’t make a right as they say… theguardian.com/world/2026/jul #IranWar

    I have consumed ALL the broadcast TV.. since the 1960s, and I am only now realizing/lamenting now how much all of it's embedded/inherent/chronic 'isms' have shaped and helped lay the groundwork for the whole 'Murca'/MAGA #facist #theocracy nightmare we are living through now.

    There are exceptions- but so much of that crap is just dreck that feeds the worst instincts....

    Anyway, glad you have some 'yoots' in your world... and thanks for the pushback & reply...
