    In Vietnam war, US narrative that gave the impression of continuous victory was Vietcong body count ratio of 10:1+ over dead Americans. Very few ordinary Americans received a cheque (income increase) related to Vietcong body count.

    In Iran, US spending $40B + expected Israel reinbursement of their $20B, to blow up over 9000 shit, and more than what Iran blew up can only be related to victory, if it was a goal to have a higher video game score measured in TNT damage. If it was a goal to make oil prices yoyo up and down, but mostly up, then victory achieved. The propaganda about US winning in illegal war on Iran simply can’t be measured in metrics unrelated to goals.








  • A country that runs entirely on non-fossil fuel energy, on solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, even nuclear, doesn’t have to worry if the flow of oil is open or not.

    less reliance on fuel imports always improves independence. Incumbent power plants available as backup/option improves resilience and independence as well. It doesn’t need to be all or nothing, and renewables don’t stop new oil projects for exports. Carbon accounting (tax) is entirely attributed to consumers of energy/product+delivery.

    The true failure of the golden democracies is their totalitarian subservience to US warmongering enemy propaganda. US empire/CIA serves US champions for extortionist power, and even their dabbling in green policy was was a corporate supremacist model for minnows, that got shot down by incumbent oligarchy. It is colonial subjugation that is 100% responsible for energy vulnerability, because it embraces one’s own extortion. Russian sanctions and self terrorism on Nordstream as prior examples.


  • It gets much worse in coming months.

    2027 budget cuts 10% from non-military, requests $600B more permanent military. Adds $200B special funding to rebuild from Iran fiasco.

    Getting a peace deal with Iran with just nuclear and SoH demands will need $100B in commitments to pay Iran.

    No peace deal, just leave, will put GCC allies in Iran/China camp instead of US. Zionazi congress, led by GOP, will push for more Israel gifts. Controlled DNC opposition, Schumer, will get primaried and lose their zionazi purpose.

    Asian colonies will need to get closer to China to have access to oil.

    Giving Europe colonies freedom (NATO exit threats), will worsen US economic perfromance. World in general will move away from oil/NG use, that the US is all in on.

    Best chance for GOP is to impeach Trump/Hegseth.

    You don’t amass 6 bankruptcies by not going all in on a pair of 2s very often.
