5. They don't exist

There is no such creature. They are all spineless weasels with a woody for destruction. I'm ashamed to be an American.

2. Trump is being used by Netanyahu to enact the final part of "A Clean Break" involving Iran

A commentator on Al Jazeera English mentioned this today, so I had to look it up.

Here’s background on a plan Netanyahu commissioned in 1996 to break with the Oslo Accords and change politics in the Middle East:

This Substack story from January entirely predicted this:

From the above:
As the U.S. General Wesley Clark revealed the clean break went from a plan to take out Saddam Hussein in Iraq to a plan to “take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and, finishing off, Iran”.

Edit to add: “A Clean Break” preceded the Neocons’ “Project for the New American Century” by 1 year and they dovetail together a little TOO well. Here’s a Wikipedia link to refresh our memory:

6. Yah, Reza Pahlavi - a really corporate friendly dude.

Son of the former Shah, you know, the guy whose SAVAK internal police could give the Republican Guard and ICE a lesson in sly, torturous brutality against civilian dissidents?

If he's anything like Dad, he's a kinder, gentler whip hand, without religious extremist baggage.
