Because Substack’s API cannot access my Stripe account. It is a problem of software compatibility it seems.. No matter.

Yes , this is a deliberate , planned depletion of the American purse and arsenals ! "Mosquitoes and flies" have clung to the carcass of a clumsy animal and are causing it to lose energy from thousands of bites, thousands of droplets of waning blood. A blow to self - esteem , conceit, prestige ! I think destroying a couple of Israeli planes "online" would be more effective for Iran (and all friends) than 100-200 missiles?! There is a war of the Spirit and Myths (sorry-pathos).
