Hey people, the Iranian regime is good at torture and terror, right? That’s their shtick. If they are any good, they will not kill _him_, they will (try to) kill them who make him _hurt_ the most. I know who I would go after if I was them. Ivanka would make him rabid, Barron would make his marriage HELL. Let’s see whether the Secret Service is still up to the task or whether they are cursed by the one who fucks up everything he touches. Remember: corruption breeds incompetence, sycophancy breeds stupidity. Then again, on the other side: Iran is not subtle, and religious righteousness is a bad counselor. Interesting times ahead. In other words: fuck them all. And I have not started speaking about Bibi yet! ---

The stupidity has once again reached [new heigh](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/02/pete-hegseth-trump-iran-military)ts. [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/02/pete-hegseth-trump-iran-military](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/02/pete-hegseth-trump-iran-military) Some of the article’s content is not surprising, being what you’d expect from the current administration. One thing stood out, and left my mind spinning for a few seconds. “ Vance in particular has been a weather vane for the administration’s creep toward military action, warning in a Washington Post interview against “overlearning the lessons of the past. Just because one president screwed up a military conflict doesn’t mean we can never engage in military conflict again.” “ Jesus Haploid Christ, the current Iran brouhaha _could actually turn into another forever war._ The Afghanistan conflict repeated almost every major mistake that was made during the Vietnam war. A good example is the way military officers are evaluated. To be promotable one must achieve assigned goals. So officers lie and exaggerate in their reports to superiors. The superiors then have a very inaccurate and optimistic picture of progress on the ground. Aaand here we go again. A link to the article went into my bookmarks in the folder titled “History”. ---

That’s the thing. I’m guessing someone like Trump truly is incapable of grasping the difference between the rally-around-the-flag effect of 9/11 and America disapproving of him launching a totally foolhardy war against Iran. For a guy who is obsessed with poll numbers, he doesn’t seem to get that this will make his polling go down. ---
