Only The Devil Loves Wars

One of the surprises of the war in Iran are the casualty figures ...

Tehran Bombed - Low Comparatively Casualties?

 

.... I say surprises, because considering the sheer volume of munitions being expended by all sides, especially by the US and Isreal, but also by an Iran lashing out in all directions, you would expect many thousand upon thousands of dead and wounded.

Chamas Without The C

I think its fair to say that the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas attack on Israel and its response ro that attack has exposed a fault line in the Western populations .....

 ... which is that in general, a sizeable number of the immigrant Muslim populations who are here, loose;y supported the attack and violently opposed the Israeli response, if not necessarily supporting the atrocities Hamas committed against Israeli citizens. While, probably the majority of the non-Muslims (over age 35 at least) supported the right for Israel to respond, and its subsequent actions to defend itself.

Exit Ramp Being Sought??

President Trump appears to have no apparent exit ramp from the attacks on Iran ... 

Wall Street Journal Headline - Exit Iran War

D.M a commentor last week, reported that CNN has an article that stated "Trump might just mirror his domestic approach by declaring victory, walking away and leaving everyone else to deal with the consequences. Trump’s signature move is to tear down established structures before seeing where the pieces fall and finding some way to declare a win."
