"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the truth about Tyrant Trump the other day regarding Trump’s war with Israel against Iran. She said, “The President hears all voices across the country, and he makes decisions based on his instincts.” His instincts are wrapped around his ego, his fantasies, and his
‘The war with #Iran is very bad news, and introduces a number of profoundly destabilising scenarios:
Regime change with no day-after plan, leaving a large cadre of armed military and security forces in play; the amassing in the region of western military forces that could become targets…or simply a prolonged war of attrition that would seize up the region’
The political centre sees the US and Israel’s war on Iran as a crisis to be managed, while the gap between their detached politics and bloody rhetoric widens, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik
‘Their pronouncements about the importance of diplomacy sound like echoes from an era that has long passed – one before a livestreamed genocide demolished any semblance of a coherent system of international law.
What the current moment has revealed is a cohort of regimes fundamentally unsuited to crisis, fit only for management; a crop of politicians whose very role is not to rethink or challenge the way things are, but simply to shepherd geopolitical traffic.’

Following Trump's attacks on Iran, an admin official tells Rolling Stone, "The intelligence assessments have not really changed"
After Trump's decision to strike 3 Iranian #nuclear facilities on Sat, admin ofcls are barely bothering to pretend the unprecedented—& potentially calamitous—attacks were motivated by new #intelligence suggesting Iran was on the brink of having nuclear weapons.

We had some rain overnight, at last enough to actually dampen the ground. It doesn't look as though there is much possibility of more until the end of the week.

It just doesn't always feel like it! 🤔💪🏻
