Yes. This really is happening. And we are doing almost nothing about it.

The U.S. has not done well in most of its wars since 1945. And Iran is not a pushover.
As well,this war could draw in many countries, including China, Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia.... And why is the U.S. so keen on attacking Iran? Because Iran had the nerve to kick out an American dictator, and elect it's own government many years ago.
Will Canada support this? Of course. Mr. Trump will bend over, and Trudeau will kiss. We can only hope he has the courage to refuse to send Canadian troops.

The U.S. is for plundering by U.S billionaires That's why there is so much poverty in South America. The whole purpose of an empire is to debase and plunder its victims.
In the U.S., this plundering extends to the plundering and debasing of Americans. And it's become increasingly obvious ( except in our new media) what is happening.

This can't be true. If it were, our local news sources would have told us.

In just the last 10 years, the U.S. has spent almost 5 TRILLION dollars on war.
Correction - the common American has spent almost 5 trillion dollars on war. Very wealthy American haven't spent a cent on it. That's because they're allowed to escape paying taxes. Indeed, most of those trillions simply went into the pockets of the very wealthy.
This is an astonishing plundering of the American people - a plundering that shows up in homelessness, in lack of free medical care for all, in the debasement of public education..... as almost all the wealth of the nation becomes held by a small number of billionaires.
I don't know where this is going - except that it is going to violence. In the US and to a lesser degree Canada, we have probably long past a peaceful solution. Nor has it ever been possible that the very wealthy would temper their greed.\________________________________________________________

This has not been a good day. As I plowed through the news stories, mostly about western brutality, torture, murder, deliberate starvation of children, eternal killing, stories of a Canada complicit in this - at the insanely murderous leadership of the US, of unlimited greed and plunder and brutality - and our slack-jawed acceptance of this - I can only be depressed by it - and by us.
Either murderous or gutless, we have hit bottom in our acceptance of a world society that is destroying itself. As things are going, there is no hope of our society surviving this. We are led by slavering animals who will destroy us even as they destroy themselves. (Yes, I am thinking of Trump and Bolton, and Doug Ford of Ontario and the slavering stupidity of a Jason Kenney and all those Albertans who voted for him.)
And then there's a Trudeau who will roll over - and maybe even take a hand - in the killing that is going on.
We have become a shambles of a society led by people so insane they don't even know they are laying the ground for their own destruction.
Meanwhile, the rich are plundering the rest of us on a massive scale. U.S. poverty is actually growing as the wealthy rob their workers every payday.
And the Christian churches seemingly. haven't noticed any of this.
It gets harder every day to read of the greed and stupidity that has become - all of us. It is bad enough that the wealthy are leading all of this. It is contemptible that the rest of us pretend it isn't happening.
