1st March, 2026: Nebraska.
I like somethings: and dislike others.
But you’ve possibly worked that out.
I don’t like the current, 47th, US President.
And make it a point of honour to not use the man’s name.
I don’t know if I’ve managed there, but I can at least try.
I don’t like unnecessary military action: at least, action I feel is unjustified.
So … ?
USA military action in Iran, taken in conjunction with Israel, is what I regard as unjustified.
I grant the Islamic republic’s unpleasant, and has violated the rights, and taken the lives of, protestors.
Furthermore?
The action taken has seen the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
If that doesn’t start a war?
I’ll be both grateful, and very surprised.
Let’s move on.
