World Crisis in the Middle East -- Is This Armageddon?

[SetFree]

You're right. Democrats are very loyal to the party and not to the person. My husband's cousin complained about older politicians and when I asked who she was voting for in the election...she proudly stated Biden. Well don't complain then if that's how you're going to vote, right?

Right.

At some point in American history, the Democrat Party was actually the Conservative party. Obviously by the time of the Civil War the liberal party were the Democrats while the Republican Party sided with the northern industrialists. The Democrat Party had two divisions between North and South, i.e., LBJ was a Southern Democrat, and JFK was a Northern Democrat.

The Southern Democrat tradition against the Republicans I think happened mostly with the Civil War, with Lincoln as a Republican supporting big business. The South saw Lincoln's sending 75,000 Union troops to invade the South as a violation of the U.S. Constitution. That created a strong hatred against the Republicans by the peoples of the South.

Times have changed though. Ex-FBI agent Cleon Skousen in 1958 made a list of then Soviet strategic points for the takeover of the United States. One of the points was to takeover one more political parties of the United States. I'd say they have the Democrat Party in hand today, and also Republican 'fence riders' who often vote with the Democrat Party.

Those with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

"Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to U.S. president Donald Trump that are characterized as irrational and disconnected from Trump's actual policy positions..." (Wikipedia)

How can you not have any negative reactions to what he has just said ?

In your opinion, would the world be better off or worse off without the extreme Twelver regime that has been running Iran since 1979?

Do you really think Trump would annihilate an entire nation?

No.

As Sun Tzu points out that all war if based on deception, when you are near appear to be far away, when you are far away appear to be near. When you are weak appear to be strong and when you are strong appear to be weak.

He goes on to say If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

It is the latter I wonder about most, who knows both the enemy and themselves, and in the current situation who fully knows who and where the enemy is.

We live in interesting times.
