I’m new to your info-packed posts, Mary and this one didn’t disappoint.

Wanted to share a bit of info provided by Sen Chris Murphy recently. He said, ‘Netanyahu’s strikes against Iran began the day his government was up for a no confidence vote in the Knesset. His hardline stances on Iran and Gaza appear to be dictated more by what keeps him in power as Prime Minister than the long-term security interests of his country’.

Trump in my opinion is motivated daily by the knowledge that he,too, would be headed for prison if his gig as president was over. Just saying…

The Pottery Barn rule applies here with grim clarity: You break it, you own it. And while Trump boasts of a “bullseye,” what’s left is a fractured international order, elevated global risk, and a fragile region closer to open conflict.

This wasn’t a strategy so much as it a was spectacle. A billion-dollar display with no enduring objective, only long-term consequences. And as the heat rises—both literally and geopolitically—Americans are left to bear the cost, with fewer allies, greater threats, and no plan for what comes next...

TY ANN, best first comment.

The accuracy ,on point accuracy, colored with appropriate sarcasm, Mary’s gift, and their fruition. It’s been 10 years of prediction , examples right in our face proving all .

But the masterpiece is the wool weave , explaining with deviant manipulation from trickle down to now ..the near perfected Republican forte .

So close (if not here) is America under Authoritarian Rule. Divide and Conquer proven in tact in fact. Trump’s Factual Accomplishment. They must be so proud.
