Trump re-upped his disdain for European allies that have refused to take part in the U.S. and Israel's military operation against Iran.

President Donald Trump has warned the U.K. and France that the “U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore,” as he vented his frustration over the close allies’ refusal to join military action against Iran.

    You seem pretty confident in that

    if you ask me to gamble on starting of a nuclear war vs. it not happening… I wouldn’t risk it.

    Look at the outcomes of WWII

    I did look at the outcomes. It was quite a different set of circumstances.

    1. Most of the world did not have Nuclear Missiles.
    2. We didn’t have Social Media to the extent to allow a small group of people to spread FUD so easily.
    3. We didn’t have global mega-corps manipulating the fabric of society with impunity. The average CEO is out of touch with workers and only thinks ahead 3 months. There is a lot of arrogance and ignorance about concepts beyond one’s understanding.
    4. Making Money/Having Clout is the only metric of success.
    5. Human induced climate change is messing with the ecological system and making it difficult to rely on crops. It will hit hard especially when we are not paying attention due to pointless wars.
    6. There is a fucking betting market for if a child gets bombed to bits in some part of the world, and a pedophile and his cabinet seem to be doing insider trading on it.
    7. Every fucker is a racist or facist or adjacent. Empathy has taken a permanent sabbatical.

    Wars exist to benefit the ruling class. But if all of the ruling class dies it’s fucking stupid.
