Superman . . .


Look, up in the sky
It's a bird
It's a plane
It's Superman

Hoard the wisdom
Take the years and just

War . . .

. . . crimes?


In light of Iran's admission of unintentionally shooting down a Ukrainian plane (while retaliating for the U.S.'s assassination of an Iranian general), isn't mr. trump now guilty of a WAR CRIME???

Facts . . .

 


(from The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche by H.L. Mencken)
". . . that a student learns at the average school are few and unconnected, and instead of being led into habits of independent thinking he is trained to accept authority. When he takes his degree it is usually no more than a sign that he has joined the herd. His opinion of Napoleon is merely a reflection of the opinion expressed in the books he has studied; his philosophy of life is simply the philosophy of his teacher - tinctured a bit perhaps, by that of his particular youthful idols. He knows how to spell a great many long words and he is familiar with the table of logarithms, but in the readiness he has made comparatively little progress. If he was illogical and credulous and a respecter of authority as a freshman he remains much the same as a graduate. In consequence, his usefulness to humanity has been increased but little, if at all, for . . . the only man whose life is appreciably more valuable than that of a good cow if the man who thinks for himself, clearly and logically, and lends some sort of hand, during his life-time, in the eternal search for the ultimate verities . . . "

Three . . .

. . . things that struck me in the article referenced below . . .


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-s-big-risk-iran-showdown-n1111421)

". . . Pompeo told the Christian Broadcast Network last year that Trump might have been sent by God to help the Jewish people defeat Iran. . . "As a Christian, I certainly believe that’s possible," he said then. . .
[1] If this adult male, serving in a very high position of our U.S. government (Pompeo) still (he is 56 years of age) believes in an omniscient, invasive "god" and the things that he (Pompeo) imagines this "god" can/will do, then he is not qualified to service in this capacity. Oh, wait a minute, he works for trump . . .

Aside from selling arms to Iran to fund Nicaraguan contras, the Reagan administration provided massive aid to Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war in that decade, which followed the fall of the shah and the taking of American hostages in Iran during the Carter administration. . .
[2] Reagan, a republican, aided and abetted the hostile nation that took 52 hostages shortly before he took office. A man in possession of 'great' integrity (sarcasm mine).

John R. Pitney, a professor of politics at Claremont McKenna College in California, said . . . "I’m not sure that Trump’s calculations are super-sophisticated — I think his actions are driven by a desire to look tough, and that gives leverage to people like Pompeo who apparently has convinced him that this is a great way to look tough. . ." . . . "
[3] Mr. Pitney is quite perceptive regarding the personality of president trump.
