killing Iranian negotiators at this point is a "reasonable path,"
I often take the elite in America to task because of their disconnection from reality and their preference for fantasy outcomes. But there’s another, darker aspect to the elite as well:
the absence of morals.
When a retired general on national television can openly talk about assassinating leaders of our adversaries that reach conclusions we don’t like, and then he considers that “reasonable“ and none of the hosts on the network so much is bat an eye – that shows how far we have fallen from even pretending to care about morality.
This war we chose to start violated the US Constitution, United States law, international law, and any norms of decency: we were not threatened, we did not fight war of self-defense, and utterly lied about the justification of an “imminent threat,” when 100% there was none.
And now we’re talking about trying to resolve this war in our favor, by demanding surrender of the other side, and if they don’t comply, we have no moral qualms about assassinating their leaders. Again.
Know this: a nation cannot behave like this and make that kind of behavior routine, and think that at some point, it will not come back to haunt us. Life has a habit of returning on your head the very thing that you do to others.
I already mourn because of the loss that we’re going to suffer, but will not hesitate to point out at that time, that we ourselves lit the fuse of the day when people start assassinating American leaders.
