I hear what you’re saying and typically I would agree with you, but I don’t think it’s gonna work that way. I think the shock of losing a carrier or a carrier and a few jets and not accomplishing anything will create a blowback of a larger magnitude than these fuckwits are calculating, and faster too. This is existential for Iran and they’ve been planning for it for decades, this isn’t 2001, this isn’t Iraq or Lybia, yadda yadda yadda, you know where I’m going with this.

This is a “Hail Mary” and the quarterback has blinders and can’t stay awake for more than a few hours.

In the 80’s and the 90’s this could fly, but at this point if you can’t recognize the systemic consequences of individuals hoarding wealth and using it to manipulate the government, you really can’t be taken seriously.

Soon there will be a critical mass of people who have nothing left to lose. Thats why the Republicans put a paramilitary army on the streets, and it’s also why the Democrats won’t stop them. They work for the same people.

Americans are being overtaken by a pincer movement being executed by both political parties (en.wikipedia.org)
 

Democratic Party leadership will not allow ICE or DHS to be disbanded. They serve the same wealthy individuals and corporations as the Republicans, and those factions need a paramilitary force to quell the inevitable uprising(s) that will result from the collapse of the American economy and constitutional order. It could not be more obvious that the role of the Democratic Party has been to act as a honeypot to attract and neutralize any progressive policies and politicians. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are not inept, they are accomplishing every goal they set out to. Joe Lieberman spearheaded the creation of DHS, and no matter what any Democrat or Republican says about “superseding authority”, understand that it is functioning exactly as intended.

Will the Sun "micronova"? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’ve been consuming a lot of space weather related content for the past couple of years. I understand some of it, but I don’t have a science degree or anything. I understand that there are always risks of CME’s, and that the Sun is in solar maximum, the earths magnetic field is weakening, and there appears to be some connection between coronal holes/sunspots, low density solar winds, and geophysical activity on Earth…but I just discovered this guy, Ben Davidson of Space Weather News, and he’s really blowing my mind. Intuitively and based on some of the recent solar activity, it seems to make sense. Does anyone have a good resource that fact checks his claims?
