Will we every know what is going on in the White House in terms of the influences and restraints on the trump, that's assuming 'we' survive the next three years?

What proportion of his staff/advisors fall into the egging him on, just doing his bidding and those trying to restrain him to tradition US FP goals?

And who are the 'leading lights' that people can put a name to?


I think Vance is playing the longer game, backing him on any insanity that comes to the 'mind', so that he can be the undisputed successor come 2028*



* again a load of assumption here.

DoL social media feed has been regularly pumping out this Nazified neo-Vichy shit for a while now.  Place must be overrun by crypto-fascists.  It's the same gang that rolled out the Big Brother-style giant Trump banners.

Crypto as in they are really into crypto-currency?  Cause they certainly aren't "crypto" as in hidden.  I thought I understood politics, I really did.  This is all twilight zone shit.  Like Hitler's ghost is advising people.  I don't understand any of it.

While I find there are very good arguments for most countries to get nukes in this climate, this also reflect what I was talking about in the other thread: Trump's insanity is putting a world on the road to nuclear tragedy. It is foolish for countries not to want nukes but the bigger the proliferation is the larger the chance that somebody miscalculates and we all die a terrible death of radiation posioning and starvation.

Zoupa, what's the reference?

Is it 'The Road' if so I've seen it but can remember almost nil about the plot.

I fear the mullahs will end up having had more than 10,000 of their fellow Iranians murdered, on the streets, in their homes or when held in prison.

Do we have any indication of whether the regime is under any real threat from the protests?

How much concrete support does the Iranian government have?
