Chickenhawks at it again...

Per Moon of Alabama

The case (today) is not in doubt. The U.S. military definitely tried to provoke Iran into shooting down another one of its planes.

The plane flew over the islands Abu Musa and Sirri in the Persian Gulf which are Iranian territory and Iranian airspace. It falsely signaled that it was an Iranian plane.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

@QMS
and this parade was a cause for that to happen. Just saying. It is absolutely no fun, so I know some Veterans who can't even laugh about it.

@mimi @mimi

This is not a laughing matter.
Seriously dangerous optics.
Joke, scream, cry, or bottle it.
Awareness matters. How we share the horrors is different.
Digesting this fascist display is easier with smaller and funnier doses. Smile
Not meant to change things.

of weather in your tour through the Alps. Can you just stay longer and wait til the sun comes out again? In some cozy hut, flirting with the owner and cuddling up in warm bed?

I like your quote. Rainy Zen and all that. What a pity. Sorry 2

Ride South to Italy and Spain, May be? Better food there too.

@mimi Rain here and there. I spent the week riding out of Seefeld Austria and went to BMW Mottarrad Days in Garmisch. Spent a little time in Bavaria, Switzerland and Italian Alps. Rode Stelvio. Headed back to Italy tomorrow. See day 5 tab. https://www.edelweissbike.com/en/blog/?p=33463

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. - Friedrich Nietzsche -
