A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.

From Dr. Strangelove… Slim Pickens riding the bomb down

The caption of this post is the latest insane quote from our so called POTUS.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.~~ Donald J. Trump

It sounds like he is threatening to wipe out a whole country. For what? They did not bow down to his royal ass? Of course, this is referring to Iran and oil shipments. The problem with tRump and his malAdministration is that none of them are chess players, they are not even checker players.  They cannot see the global chess board one move in front of them.  How else could they start an immoral, unneeded war that was urged on by the madman in Israel, and the power hungry, greedy leader of Saudi Arabia?

Might does not make right.

Truth is I really do not know what to say.  This is beyond comprehension. This is not the country that I have loved and been proud of for most of my life. Not by a long shot.  This cluster f*** is even worse than I could have imagined. I would have never envisioned the United States as a terrorist country, but we are fast becoming one.

For a more nuance and scholarly take on the the catastrophe that is dangling over us like the Sword of Damocles go to Paul Krugman’s video for today:  Our Darkest Hour (read the transcript – it is quicker and easier)

What has the MAGA mob gotten us into.  May Huitzilopochtli save us all.
