This is pretty much how it went down, Netanyahu dogwalked Trump, Israel first. Trumps base is pissed off. This is not what they wanted and I hope they voice their opinion because you know they could turn into this
I laughed but in real life this event ended in Little Boy and Fat Man changing the face of war and politics. Also, my mom and dad met in Pearl Harbor during the attack.
Pearl Harbor was an attempt at a naval decapitation strike to prevent/persuade the US from getting involved in a war in Asia. Its goal was peace, in a way. Japan misjudged things by just a bit.
Ik, now let me try in the same spirit of this thread.
“The MOB strike was an attempt at a nuclear decapitation strike to prevent/persuade Iran from getting more involved in a war in the Middle East. Its goal was peace, in a naive way. US and Israel misjudged things by just a bit.”
As a Japanese American, this post is a painful reminder of history. I also see Trump's action last night as comparable to that of the Showa emperor, Hirohito. It's hard to describe how much our grandparents' generation suffered under him and his enablers.
I thought about it, too. The fact that the US was involved in diplomacy with Japan and that Japan pulled off a surprise (seeming successful) attack, is much like what Trump did. Let's hope Trump doesn't start rounding up Iranian Americans as was done to Japanese Americans.
So much of what he is doing has no precedent or it has bad precedents. We have to persuade people that we can't have one man decide to have worldwide tariffs, police state roundups of people based on dubious probable cause, like speaking Spanish while brown, and unfunded wars. We have a lot at stake
Exactly! Individually, we're valuable. We need to stay united to save democracy and humanity. We'll keep the discussion alive. We can't let this one slide.
Thanks for being out there. We're all in it together!
So Trump copies his speeches from others? Well, let's hope that it doesn't mean that Trump has "awakened a sleeping giant filled with a terrible resolve". That would be a real TSHTF moment. 😬
Second tweet read, “We are not at war with the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
