I heard that 92% of Americans were initially supportive of war with Afghanistan in ‘01, then 76% initially supportive of war with Iraq in ‘03.

I was immediately against both of those, and immediately against Ukraine too.

I’m totally for ethnic cleansing in Gaza, (ship them all to Egypt!), but I’d settle for simply crushing Hamas & forcing Gaza into rational geopolitics, starting with eliminating their genocidal threat to Israel. I’m also totally for forcing Iran into rational geopolitics, likewise eliminating its genocidal threat to the US, of course to Israel, and to the West generally.

But apparently, winnable & just wars in Gaza & Iran are very unpopular with my American “peers,” who are the very same people that were totally duped by Afghanistan ’01 & Iraq ‘03. Hmmm 🤔

By the way, they must’ve been duped by Biden’s “transitory” hyperinflation of the money supply.

The decision to screw all us non-millionaire workin’ stiffs out of rent, food, utilities, etc., was made back in 2020. Don’t freak out about the rising price of gasoline now, people! Your anger is misdirected at Trump & the Iran War.

Gaza, Iran, & peace ‘n’ prosperity will stabilize the US “petrodollar.” BRICS is now defunct, Russia is back on the USD, and China is now forced to compete with India at fair market prices for Middle East oil (& Venezuelan oil too 😉).

This is the end of the commie globalist multipolar order. This is the beginning of the US Empire’s Pax Americana 2.0. Unlike post-WW2 Pax Americana 1.0, this time the commie British Crown & Euro “Great Reset” aristocracy will be subordinated to the US vision of human rights, e.g. the 1st Amendment, you commie losers! No more stirring the pot in the Middle East, no more multipolar Cold War to give leverage & traction to the UK & Euro powers who **still** resent 1776 & 1789 👍🙂❤️

… My “peers,” hmmm 🤔 indeed …

Did someone hack your account? This seems totally out of character, Gerald. We often appreciate your rational and thoughtful comments... this feels WAY off piste.

We here at Collapse Life denounce and reject wholesale the idea of ethnic cleansing and genocide. In fact, the last time it was tried on an industrial scale -- just last century -- the West instituted clear and careful guidelines to help humanity from falling into that same dark, disturbing trap ever again... To say nothing of the irony of watching those who were on the receiving end of genocidal maniacs 80 years ago, perpetrating this very same tactic.

Your comment tests our resolve in one very important way: while we do not agree with one iota of your statement, we deplore the idea of censorship even more. We believe wholly in the free marketplace of ideas.

So we leave your comment up, with the expectation that others will weigh in with their own intelligent insights and rebuttals.

We feel the clear and pointed vitriol in your comment Gerald, and we will pray for you.

History repeats itself. Where it used to cycle per generation, now history seems to repeat like our collective attention span. Out with the dancing nurses, bring in the dancing gas jockeys.

Stupid? Nah. Manipulated, abused, brainwashed, gaslit, lied to, penalized, psy-op(ed), pressured, and forsaken... Ah, Yeah.

Even then, we're not as dull as they may think.
