It’s an American reference, so you might not know it, but there was a sitcom called “Get Smart,” and in one episode the exchange between secret agent Smart and the bad guy could be the exchange between Mr. Trump and Iran:
Maxwell Smart: You might as well hand over that gun, Blaster, because this yacht happens to be surrounded by the seventh fleet.
The Blaster: I find that hard to believe.
Maxwell Smart: Would you believe the sixth fleet?
The Blaster: I don't think so.
Maxwell Smart: How about a school of angry flounder?
Still don't understand why people pay attention to what Trump says. As Berletec and Schriver keep pointing out, the US president has little room to manoeuvre as the policies are fixed. I sometimes wonder if Trump is laughing at the way his words get to people as he clearly does not give them much importance. Hence no problem contradicting yesterday's statement with something different today..
"They have another Amphibious Ready Group (USS Boxer) that will soon arrive in the theater, pushing their potential invasion force closer to 10k".
But no closer to Iranian terra firma. If they know what's good for them.
I am reminded of angry apes doing their war dance, shrieking and screaming, throwing sticks and feces - but under no circumstances closing to within striking distance.
The endless commentary on what Trump will or won’t do is simply tiresome drivel, considerably more tiresome than Trump’s actual drivel.
The worst offenders are all the ex US military drones (aka “experts”) whose commentary can only be compared to the famous Private Eye correspondent, Phil Space, though he was never so prolific as Ritter, Berlitic, Johnson etc, with their mind numbingly myopic focus on the mediocre shit hole which is the US.
The academic pearl clutchers(sachs, mearshiemer et al) are so boringly repetitive they are reminiscent of the Goodies radio station that only had one record “A walk in the Black Forest” . Their heads are also firmly embedded in their own US arses.
Yawn , wake me up after the west collapses, nothing worth the time analysing until then. I have some gardening to do , and pleasant walks to pass the time.
So you think all endless repetitive analysis has the oilygarchs concerned? Hardly, it is mere background noise , entertainment for a certain class of “educated “ plebs who believe they are “doing something “ and it has no outcome at all apart from that. It serves as a soporific and suits everyone very well.
Boring repetitive, just as the oligarchs are doing generation after generation, feeding off the plebs. The plebs that hear the same again and again by the medua owned by the same oligarchs: babies on bayonets, other sovereign governments labeling as regime, terrorists, the leader is ofcourse Adolf. The same lies over and over. That is just not only boring it is infuriating as real people die. Probably boring too.
If the people you mentioned stop being boring, stop talking, we have exactly what the oligarchs want us to be: servants
Reading US media reminds me that their publishers were too young to hear Dandy Don Meredith singing, "Good Night! The party's over!" when the outcome of the "Monday NIght Football" game was all too clear.
So imagine this deeply damaged baritone voice belting out, "Good Night! The party's over!"
The broken clock Bernhard of Moonofalabama has been disgraced and totally lost his face and whatever credibility he ever had during the "Morona 19 scamdemic"!
Nowadays his site is a 'JAFCO'* contributing to the NSAM's 'blob' repeating the Epstein Syndicate propaganda and spinning their own imaginary theories from it - shit in, shit out... Though the stench coming out from MoA surely does attract a lot of "barflies" LOL
He still has some lucid moments, though they are getting more rare as time goes by (spike protein side effects, mayhaps?). Hence my ‘broken clock’ analogy…

This is when Agent 99 enters.
'...a half-dozen Iranian fast boats “blown up”, and, in sum, one of the greatest naval operations in human history ... or so the story goes'.
Am I the only reader thinking "Gulf of Tonkin"?
Tonkin 2.0
Let’s call it the Gulf of Lego. As a child I had Tonka Toys trucks, and wondered at the time what they had to do with Vietnam.
8-) 8-) 8-)
Brilliant!

A person could get hurt.
Chimpanzees. Bonobos just have sex.
Yes, we should behave more like bonobos. peace, not war.

Naturally, I agree.

Western delusion at its best.

You hit the targets.
Another option for Trump goes like this - It's not over until the fat ladies Ford and Lincoln Sink.
LOL

*JAFCO - just another effin' clueless observer
B. still writes some good stuff. But not as good as he used to.
He still has some lucid moments, though they are getting more rare as time goes by (spike protein side effects, mayhaps?). Hence my ‘broken clock’ analogy…
Is that AI? The Arab kissing Nettie’s *ss?
A good question. No, no, not the LEFT hand!
That they do in private
