70. What did I say?

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I think that 60% is way more than they need, but my knowledge of the nuclear industry is limited. I don't recall the US burying our nuclear energy plants under ground, so I find that suspicious. Sue me. Part of my point is that the Iranians have an intent to fight, and they voiced it. All the optics say that they want a nuclear bomb. How useful for their purposes that would be.

But, we have a weak pRes who listens to flattery, has emotional needs to puff himself up, and we are not safe with him at the helm. Moreover, he has a cabinet that surely is the stupidest, most unqualified that we have ever seen. Their qualifications are that they kissed his ass to get their jobs. So, I have no faith that they can think their way out of a paper bag. All Repubs have gone stark, raving mad.

This new problem we have has an assortment of positives and negatives. I think that Netanyahu will kill far more Iranians than he needs to do. We'll see. But, in view of what he did to Gaza, I think Iran is in trouble. I am not happy about any of this. That's why I said I had mixed feelings. I want Ukraine to get a break, too. Another problem.

You beat a youngster to death because she took off a scarf, or worse yet, just wore it incorrectly, and you do not get support from me. I don't support the Iranian leadership. I feel bad for civilians. But, nobody gave a sh*t when Ukraine begged for help three years or so ago, and no one will come running to help us, either. We have to police our ownselves within our own borders. We can't get destracted from our own ground fight to rid our government of fascism.

I don't know how this will turn out. I only know that when trump demanded unconditional surrender from Iran, he was playing to the crowd. "Peace through strength," my ass. Bullying is all he knows!

I need more chocolate.
