I just get tired of seeing folk hate just to hate, and kill just to kill. It is senseless. I I understand where you are coming from. But I have to say fickle policy positions and changes over past 4 years have done more harm than good.

This is mostly the fault of Biden & Harris equally - this mess with Iran that is. https://shorturl.at/ceiG4

While I wouldn't agree that the mess with Iran is mostly the fault of Harris and Biden (it having long preceded them to such extent we could all see it was coming eventually), but I do agree with nearly all of what you've written in that article, particularly with respect to the war in Gaza where the biggest reason the conflict between Jews and Palestinians is never settled is that other nations always pressure Israel to NOT settle it militarily. That has resulted in decades of resurgence and bloodshed.

It would have been so much better if it had been settled decisively militarily many decades ago. Fight with excessive force until you force the people your fighting into unconditional surrender on your terms, or you will inevitably fight with "proportionate force" forever in a constant state of war. Proportionate force never ends a war; it only sustains it. You have to fight until you have fully secured the victory if you're going to settle anything with war. Proportionate force guarantees a stalemate.

Once again, Biden and Kamala are demanding Israel not resolve the conflict with Palestinians but only fight enough to get some revenge then go back to the status quo. However, I think Iran is merely using the Gaza situation as an excuse to attack Israel through its proxies. Iran doesn't care about Palestinians. It cares about Iran becoming a caliphate and about kicking the "Zionist regime" out of Israel so the caliphate can rule that land.

I'm glad you feel fine. Me too.

No one knows when the end will come but clear knowledge of the dangerous events of the moment never hurts to know BECAUSE, if you are like me, you can read this knowledge and still have no fear of the end ... because it will come when it will come. And it's just interesting.
