TOM said the F word. TOM said the F word. On TV! Yah he’s pissed. But he’s not pissed because Iran and Israel (who had “agreed to” a ceasefire) continue to lob missiles at each other. I mean that’s what he says. He’s pissed because he thinks this is his war. And the players aren’t operating according to his rules. He’s pissed because he’s being made a fool in front of the world (again). And on the way to the NATO summit nonetheless.
And it seems that we only put a dent in the nuclear capabilities of Iran. All that fuss and a whole lot of dice rolling for a dent? “According to the people, the report issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency on Monday found that although Iran’s nuclear sites sustained significant damage, at least some of Iran’s highly enriched uranium was moved prior to the strikes and survived, and Iran’s centrifuges were largely left intact.” Meaning that Iran could be back up and running in a matter of a few months, not a few years. And certainly not the “never” that TOM & Co hoped for. And Israel is standing fast on its promise to retaliate if fired upon. Basically just a dare and a chin flick to Iran. “Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, said his country would respond “forcefully” to any violation of the ceasefire that has been struck with Iran.” This is not over. Iran is in this for the long game. Remember, this is a group of people still actively angry about an event that happened in 600AD. “The jihad began in the seventh century CE when Arab Muslim armies defeated the Byzantine Empire in the Levant and conquered Iran, a sophisticated civilization under the Sasanian Empire.
Zoroastrians, then the dominant Iranian religious group, suffered persecution, including massacres, the destruction of their temples and expulsions. Only a small and oppressed minority remains in Iran today.”
And the assault inside our borders is not abating at all. The gov is planning to revoke protections for 58.5 million acres of national forest. “The United States Department of Agriculture announced a plan on Monday, June 23, to revoke a decades-old rule that protects more than 58 million acres of national forests from road construction, mining, drilling and logging. The USDA, which oversees the U.S. Forest Service, plans to rescind the 2001 roadless rule, originally created to preserve wilderness across roughly 30% of the country’s national forests. Lawmakers enacted the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule during the final days of the Clinton administration. Lawmakers designed the rule to limit development in designated roadless areas across national forests. These areas span more than 40 states and territories and are home to critical wildlife habitats and vital sources of drinking water for millions of Americans.”
