Sunday Thoughts

This is one of those Sundays where the news cup runneth over. Midweek, I expected the weekend to be dominated by the No Kings event, but then the Jews launched their sneak attack on Iran, so I was thinking that would be the whole show. Then a Tim Walz protégé snapped and went around killing Democrats in Minnesota. Any one of these would have made for a good Sunday show, but three in one weekend was like Christmas in summer.

The No Kings organizers are probably happy that the Middle East went off, as it sucked all the oxygen out of the room as far as news coverage. A few events managed to attract a decent crowd, but even those were old white women waddling about pretending it is still 1968. In a few places the crazies turned up to tussle with the cops, but otherwise it was a major flop. It had the feel of a party that was wrapping up and only a few hangers-on remain.

The regime is also happy to see the news dominated by the Israel – Iran war, as it provided an excuse to not talk about the Minnesota shooting. They are scrambling to make the shooter into a right-wing wacko, but he was clearly of the left. I would assume the game now is to get him to self-delete so he can never tell anyone why he went on a shooting spree. Let us hope he sent his manifesto to someone with instructions to publicize it after his death.

Of course, the big news is what is happening in the Middle East. This is the biggest test of Trump’s political life because he walked right into an Israeli trick. The whole point of the sneak attack was to create a scenario where he would have no choice but to intervene militarily. Once that happens it is a regional war and something like another Ukraine for the empire. By that I mean a war of attrition to drain the empire of resources.

The Russians and the Chinese understand this, which is why China is sending supplies to Iran. It is not just to protect an important supplier, but a chance to bleed the American empire. There is an opportunity for Trump to wriggle free from this trap, but it will mean confronting some of his Jewish donors who are perfectly fine bleeding the empire white if it means helping Israel. Not an easy path for him, but he brought it on himself.
