Another “hit the nail on the head” post. Anyone who feels that Trump is on his heels due to miscalculation has not been paying attention to American history. The second a passenger jet goes down due to Iran (or even suspected), the calculous flips. The irony of course is that we shot down an Iranian jetliner in the not so far past, and George Bush the Elder gave medals to the U.S. serviceman who shot it down. As Chris Hedges has brilliantly pointed out, we are a bloodthirsty nation who shapes our national self around armed conflict.
The intent of the not-a-war (special military operation is already trademarked) is to create exceptional conditions (as per Carl Schmitt) that will be the basis for the suspension of 2026 elections. Cuba comes next. For more on Carl Schmitt, search for 'Carl Schmitt 1934'
