I saw part of an interview with the bobble head "Mr. potato head", or as he is known by the uninformed, Tom Cotton. Not much of note to see there, except for the script - making the case for immediate military strikes against Iran. This moron actually used the phrase "fire and fury".

The "fire and fury" dramatic sound bite, was reserved for N. Korea - until Un and Trump fell in love. Is it a case of an overabundance of pent up fire and fury that must find an outlet? Is it a case of reprising a script, originally written for another vile enemy of democracy? Or, is it merely the yapping of lap dogs, desperately trying to please their masters?

The United States is not the designated police force of the Persian gulf, it is a self appointed role. Since the US now exports oil and is no longer dependent on oil imports, there are no national security interests to protect in those waters. Those nations using those waters to t***sport oil, have their own Naval assets, so what does the US gain by keeping the massively expensive strike force prowling around? There is no place on earth that is not within reach of B-1 and B-2 bombers, which can be left inexpensively in their hangers until needed, so the massive expense of a full Carrier strike force is superfluous.

There can be only one answer, and the clue is given by the fact that Mr. Potato head is deep in the pockets of Israel's prime minister, and the added clue of the Presidents most influential advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner, beholden to Israel and Saudi Arabia both......the two nations most anxious to see an end to Iran.

This is as near as it gets to Foreign Affairs on today's Upcoming Topics, but it's not really foreign affairs since the only foreigners that exist in the USA are the foreigners living at home from Texas to Alaska.

Now let's see if we can make some sense of this attitude as it "evinced" much pain, "bespeaking" home away with foreign at home.

Bob Hope was on to it first, as far as I know, Bob had mastered the knack of getting people to laugh at his jokes borrowed from the audience, sort of reverse psychology, so foreign became home in the family way and family went abroad causing war as family way procreation.

Trump is awake up to this and seems to be substituting trade wars and sanctions for shooting wars thereby turning around reverse psychology, but I'm not sure if this is OK for Nations of the Persian Gulf who never fully believed they were Americans in the first place.
