Military members should refuse orders to strike Iran.
Not because striking Iran would be done at the behest of the greatest foreign enemy of the United States, the state of Israel, which owns our puppet government through blackmail and intimidation. Not because the action is done to advance the agenda of that foreign enemy, Israel, at the cost of American lives and treasure which our occupiers of course care nothing about, having murdered Americans themselves directly with the USS Liberty and more than likely had a hand in the attack on the Twin Towers. Not because Americans will suffer and die in much greater numbers than they are used to. It's not even because the United States is the terrorist nation waging a war of aggression, much like Germany in the 1940s, upon a sovereign nation. It's not even, believe it or not, that this idiotic action risks World War III with Iran aligned with China and Russia. Those are reasons why the United States should not make war on Iran, but those are not reasons why military members should refuse orders to invade Iran. We are not in the business of carrying out the will of the American people only when it makes sense and is a good idea.
No, the reason military members should refuse orders to strike Iran is because such an action is not the will of the American people, and violates the Constitution of the United States. Just like previous strikes against Iran, any future strikes will be unlawful. Congress did not authorize this action, it has not been debated, and Americans do not support this action from this incredibly unpopular puppet President who seeks a distraction from his extraordinary and wholesale coverup and pampering of the foreign pedophiles who own him and much of our government.
Unfortunately, I expect Israel will not be dissuaded and it will want to capitalize on the firm grasp it has on President Trump, both pretend political parties, and on all of our public and private centers of gravity. It's not just traitors like Donald Trump and Lindsey Graham who are puppets of our foreign enemy, Israel, it's the entire system. But the demographics are changing in America and people are waking up so Israel will not waste this opportunity to again advance their criminal agenda at the mere cost of American lives and prosperity.
Americans should be ready to suffer even further. Our government does not work for us so our will has absolutely zero bearing on its actions. And we cannot expect anybody in our military to refuse clearly unlawful and America-damaging orders. If my twenty-year military career taught me anything, it's that our military officers are absolutely unfit for service and do not have the character to uphold their oaths of office and our supreme law. So get ready for the massive fallout that will come from yet another epically stupid "American" decision made on order of the foreign nation that uses us like the disposable diaper that our nation has become. If a real war kicks off, we can expect attacks on our homeland with some being waged by Israel as necessary to advance the police state and tyranny that has been steadily built here over the years. Digital surveillance, disarmament, digital money, all of it will be unleashed upon the American people in the name of "war time." Trump's unconstitutional pursuit of so-called anti-semitism policies which obfuscate their actual purpose, to punish those who criticize the terrorist nation that occupies us, will likely lead to DHS targeting Americans for their speech in more brutal ways than Ron DeSantis and various university presidents have done so far. And that would give them some residents for the rash of new DHS prison camps we are told are being built for illegal immigrants, despite Trump's lackluster efforts against illegals while his stormtroopers seem much more occupied with American citizens. Either way, Americans, of course, can expect more poverty for themselves and their grandchildren and their great grandchildren as a result. That's the best case scenario anyway.

Ideologically, I agree with all of it, but there will be no mutiny. It seems what you have written is based on a premise that we either are, or can be again, be a nation rooted in the precepts of the Constitution. You may carry the flame, but effectively, you're the only one. You should stop using terms like "We", or "Americans", or "Our Nation" because the people who believe like you are incredibly few, and an even more infinitesimal subset are willing to translate that belief into action. Don't be fooled by the echo chambers you find yourself in.
ReplyDeleteThe Constitution has been whittled down and hollowed out. We've experienced one of the greatest moments in the history of civilization, but it was always fleeting. Now is the time for reversion to the mean. We are ruled, not governed. Everything you've conceived of as to how to restore the country we once knew has already been masterfully forestalled and precluded. Our rulers have already navigated any obstacles you may present. Gonna vote? Well, everyone you can vote for is captured. Gonna speak out? No one will hear it. Gonna take up arms? Theirs are superior. We do live in the safest and most prosperous period in history, but it was purchased at the cost of tomorrow. For that reason, there will be no military mutiny over Iran. For most, things are too good to make a principled stand.
Yes, all of the bad things you predict are going to happen, but a better way of life comes only after a survival scenario or existential fight. Let it happen.
What is the best way to dispose of an American flag that has become worn, torn, faded, and tattered?
I don't disagree with much of what you wrote. But I maintain that military members must follow their oaths of office. They can be nihilist when they get out of office. Until then, they should remain faithful to the Americans who pay them and fall on their sword as required. Of course few if any will do that for the reasons you describe.
DeleteA better way of life isn't going to come from the continued destruction of our nation. The pendulum will stop swinging, despite what we are led to believe, because there is an app for that now. The future is a nightmare, not merely a utopian ideal with more restrictions.
We likely agree on the inevitability of this techno-feudal tyranny, but I won't consent to it, accept it, or condone it. I know I can't stop it. I know "we" can't stop it, even if "we" wanted to. But I will never give my blessing despite recognizing that the grand experiment has runs its course long ago and the people who populate this nation have little to no resemblance to actual Americans, whether left or right. I'm just glad I'm old and had the foresight not to damn my progeny to this world I saw being created, likening such a foolish decision to having a baby shower while a resident of Dachua.

DeleteOh joy. One enemy of America calls out the current ruling class of enemies of America. The guy is not a bright bulb, wearing a uniform and making those statements calling for theocracy. Hard pass for me on his call to run America like the Taliban runs Afghanistan.
