Alon, have you ever read a humourous essay titled "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity"? It's one of those works like Parkinson's Law, The Peter Principle or Murphy's Law which is funny on the surface, but illustrates deeper truths about human behaviour. It was written in the 1970s by by an Italian guy named Carlo Cipolla. It's not very long. I like this version of it -- there several other reprints floating around the Internet -- because of the laff-worthy illustrations like the guy slicing his hand off when he's trying to make a sandwich:
(Not sure if that will come across as a clickable link, but you can cut 'n paste if it doesn't and you want to read it.)
Cipolla's definition of stupidity was "doing things that cause unintended harm" He's not picking on people who don't know how to do trigonometry or other complex topics.
Anyway, don't feel bad that you could not accurately predict what USrael was going to do. One of those laws about stupid people is that you can never out-think a stupid person because they will do something SO stupid that you couldn't have imagined it. That, and Cipolla's postulate that there are more stupid people in this world than you'd ever realise, are part of the lens through which I view everything.
“They look like children.” Yes they do. Well they are children. I find it in the concept Gods Children. Not a fan of any monotheism but for some intuitive reason, Islam might do much better then the other “children”
USA, UK and Israel are the axis of EVIL and the cause of so much suffering and killing round the world for decades. US has spent 239 years out of it's 249 of it's existence waging wars, invasions, coup d'etats, bombings, kidnappings, creating and funding terrorist groups, creating and funding fake viruses and killer jabs round the world.
USA has been trying to topple the Iranian regime since early 50's when the elected PM Mossadegh refused to give OIL to US and UK and said that Iranian OIL belongs to the Iranian people, then they toppled him, just like they did later on to Saddam of Iraq and Qaddafi of Libya.
USA still fund and support Israel with weapons and now with total support with naval force and maritime force all over the Gulf. Add to that France, Germany, Italy and Canada are just as EVIL as they are ALL supplying weapons and finance to the genocidal psychopaths against Palestine -who has no army- and against Iran now! Gaza has definitely exposed Western democracies which are ALL Zionist controlled and brainwashed but also exposed Arab Zionists in the Middle East such as Jordan, who's leaders are traitors from the king, the father to the king son, who got paid for intercepting Iranian missiles.
Also Egypt traitor SISSI who's mother is a Jews and who works under the orders of his boss Nethanyahu to close Rafah and not let Humanitarian Aid or the Global March For Gaza to enter. UAE and Saudi Arabia the biggest Arab Zionists - created by the imperialist colonizers - who opened their skies for Israel to strike Iran easily and so did the Syrian terrorist ALSharaa, created and funded by US, UK and IS who also opened the skies of Syria for IS to hit Iran easily. UAE also pays for IDF child killers to go to UAE of free vacations all paid for by UAE criminal government. The whole world is sick, satanic and controlled by Zionist criminals, however, truth always prevails and EVIL can never win!
The Zionist genocidal child killers can only bomb defenseless children from skies with the help of AI and US WMD's because they cannot fight face to face, not against The Palestinian Resistance Movement who'd majority is made up of Orphan Palestinians, nor that they can fight Iran or Yemen - the only countries in the world who uphold International Law - and who stood up to the terrorist bullies: US and IS.
The world has woken up especially the Yankees who have been brainwashed for so long!
"Whom the gods would destroy, first are made mad." Something like that. Irrespective of who actually first penned it, that seems to be a powerful prediction. Given we are surounded by, and lead by, mad men, it doesn't bode well for us, does it?
I’ve been abroad and had no access to the Internet. I found your piece only after the attack was made.
After you declared your position—and before hearing your defense of it—I thought to myself … this won’t be about the competence of the analysis, but about the unstated premise that Mr. Trump’s tortured mind has sufficient discipline to arrive at firm conclusions about anything.
The rapidity with which you acknowledged the error elevated my assessment of you as a man AND as an analyst.
A sane mind can not predict what mad men may do. The curtains are falling as we speak and all the crazies, racists, genocide supporters, war mongers… are out fighting with claws and fangs… only to further empower/ enrich themselves.
Another Black Knight of the Left spitting in the eyes of his enemies, daring them to sever another mother and child, another father and son, another old man and women seeing all that they'd lived for severed from it's past present and future. Another brave knight…
I agree 100%. This is regime change by the back door. If Iran falls we're all sunk, BUT, neither will it go well for the West because, what is beyond this? More dollar debt, more economic collapse and an EU going down the tubes.
Also, the American people need to know that with Israel bombing Iran they are putting our military at risk for those who are in Iran and the surrounding countries. But Trump is so war hungry and has never cared about US troops (remember he has called them and Vets ‘losers’).
Thank you Alon, I’ve always felt our government has never had “stability” - but now it’s really clear to everyone just how incompetent and corrupt “leadership” has gotten.

Great appreciation for your insight and integrity. 🙏
Oil and money devoid of values
Watch for the ‘red flag’
A lot of wisdom here

About one year ago there was a practice attack done by U.S and Israel.
bingo
