“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

Federal employees are forbidden from having office provided water coolers and free coffee. They have to get together in "clubs" to rent the water coolers, coffee makers, and the beans delivered to their office at their own expense.

If you want a taste of what a Pahlavi Iran looks like, after an extended bombing campaign by the US and Israel, it's much like their organizational efforts currently: murdering Afghans because they didn't worship the King sufficiently while the country and the "movement" falls apart around them.

This is why all that "tensions heat up as risk of conflict builds" language is bullshit. If anyone really thought Iran was acting aggressively we wouldn't park half the air force wingtip to wingtip within range of every missile from Shahid Modarres to Haji Abad. It's an entirely one way conflict.

One of the most important? Telling liberals who become concerned about all this violence that the solution is more "training" and technology for punishment bureaucrats. As I explain in Copaganda:

This is like boasting that a vial of crack wrote your state’s drug policy.

Old news but an interesting example of how, specifically, Cuba gets screwed over by the US. Even a Chinese wind turbine manufacturer which uses some US-made parts must get an export license, which then causes them to run afoul of a pre-revolution company www.americanbar.org/groups/busin...

Generally speaking one of the main things you want in order to ensure success when planning a military operation is a goal. Any goal at all. But in this case, bombing Iran *is* the goal, because a bunch of dudes have been edging to this possibility for 5 decades, with no thought of *why*
