the trumpet orchestrated with his zion overlords
big win for the ego (maybe) but an overall loss IMO
the planes break down, the ships run out of gas
and again the military looks like a fool playing with
broken toys for the world to see
Sheesh

I see that the USAF has begun drawing down some of the equipment they surged in to support the Kabuki. Several of the tankers are dragging F-22s back to Lakenheath from Prince Sultan. So, perhaps, Trump's effort to buy himself that Nobel "Peace" Prize is having a positive effect.

I'm just happy that we aren't leaving them lined up on the ramp, wingtip-to-wingtip, for easy destruction. We'll see what happens next.

No excuse for bombing so much in N. Korea.
Little wonder the west is still despised.

The myth of the new fix to conclude the war, the "bunker buster." It's a cycle, explained by Ellsberg in the Doomsday Machine. The initial war strategy fails, then the propaganda is generated to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with some escalation, the commitment of more resources, the introduction of new weapons systems, new tactics, etc. When that fails, confidence and support for the war erodes, which brings on the next fix, and then a new cycle of escalation, until that too, fails. Vietnam is the classic example cited by Ellsberg.

Pretty funny to see some foreign policy "experts" praise Trump's approach to Iran when what he's actually done is prove that Kim Jong Un was right about everything.

Essentially, here are the 4 lessons that countries serious about their survival have learned from what happened:

Key lesson 1: You must have nuclear weapons, but you need to develop them outside of any international monitoring

Key lesson 2: Diplomacy with the West is worse than useless, it's harmful

Key lesson 3: You need to fear all Western technology

Key lesson 4: Preemptive strikes and targeted assassinations of civilians are legitimate

After the bunker buster, you have to say it works, because the next step may be using nuclear weapons. Actually, after the neo-con engineered failure of nuclear talks with North Korea, a sub rosa agreement between Trump and Kim survived for a while, which involved no large scale military exercises on the peninsula by the US and South Korea, and no deployment of US strategic weapons platforms, ie strategic bombers, nuclear subs, or aircraft carriers. The pentagon, and Joe Biden along with Yoon, trashed that. Hopefully, Lee can repair the damage.

6.25때

This is the commonly used expression for the Korean War in South Korea pronounced YukioDae. The time of 6.25.1950, the day the North Koreans invaded en masse.

Today is the seventy fifth anniversary of the Korean War, the so called forgotten war, in which the Chinese North Korean alliance stopped the US plan to occupy the entire peninsula at about the same place where the occupation zones were when the war began. A strategic bombing campaign by Curtis LeMay which virtually destroyed everything in North Korea and killed and displaced millions, did not win the conflict, which technically still exists today. When the victory failed to materialize "before Christmas" as MacArthur promised, he suggested dropping nukes on the Chinese near the border with Manchuria. The memory of that devastation is burned into the collective memory of Koreans. The devastation of that war provided the impulse that drove North Koreans to develop nuclear weapons.

The bombing of the Han River Bridge is considered one of the most tragic events of the Korean War.
It reveals the incompetence & moral bankruptcy of the Syngman Rhee administration.

My late mother in law with her brother in her arms, fled before the communist forces in June 1950. Sam chon (uncle) is still with us.

By early 1950, Rhee had about 30,000 alleged communists in his jails, and had about 300,000 suspected sympathizers enrolled in an official "re-education" movement called the Bodo League. When the North Korean army attacked in June, retreating South Korean forces executed the prisoners, along with several tens of thousands of Bodo League members.[

In other words, Rhee, a tool of the US occupation forces, simply summarily murdered hundreds of thousands of civilian political opponents.

One thing that North Korea has that Iran doesn’t is the presence of fellow members of the same nation praying for peace
