    indeed, an armed attack on Iran by land would be disastrous - and not needed

    Now Iran.

    When does it end?
    I remember when, when I was in the RAF, we talked to bloke who'd been listening to Chinese military broadcasts fairly early in the Korean War, when China was not a combatant. 'Scramble, scramble, scramble!' cried a voice from Mukden, many, many miles from the border, 'American aircraft overhead'. The American line, of course, was that the Chinese move against them was entirely unprovoked, and we've still not been told otherwise. I pass it on as a rare piece of direct evidence of the usual war-provocation.

    What is the point??

    This may one day be referred to as the first US~China war or conflict..

    What would that part of the world look like today had Mac went ahead w/ his big boys & rearranged some of the landscape??
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    it also, to be fair, was not the scenario that the planners expected.......they planned for a quick war like Grenada, Bosnia or Panama not a decade of occupation......
