I don't understand why you guys continue wasting neurons arguing with an NPC like Vermillion. The fellas has no idea that:

1. The IAEA inspection reports concluded: Iran has no Nuclear Arsenal
2. US intelligence community conclusion: Iran has no Nuclear Arsenal
3. Under the US Constitution, only Congress has the right to declare war and authorize strikes on a foreign nation. US' attack on Iran's infrastructure is an unconstitutional and impeachable offense and constitutes a war crime under both International Law and US Law.
4. Iran is a signatory of the NPT (non-proliferation treaty) and is continuously monitored by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).
5. Iran was a signatory of the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) that limited its nuclear program, until in 2018 when Trump unilaterally withdrew from the treaty and therefore, voiding it. Iran was in full compliance.
6. The USA, under the Biden Administration conducted joint exercises with Israel last year. The exercises simulated an attack on Iran's nuclear program indicating that the attack was in the plans for some time now.
7. Under the 2009 Brookings Policy Paper, an attack on Iran has been planned for at least 2 decades citing its civilian nuclear program as plausible Casus Belli (refer to the screenshot). In the end it is all theatre that relies on the ignorance of the American people.
8. If the USA could take on Iran, they would have a long time ago. The USA has lost all its foreign entanglements, and that is against nations with far less resources, military prowess and strategic depth than modern Iran. I have no idea where these clowns get their information, but it is not fact based. It seems NPCs run on Fox News and "'Murica, Fuck Yeah" copium.
9. The list goes on. Frankly speaking, I lost interest discussing with idiots that are allergic to context and have no factual basis for conversation. Their thought patterns have literally been mapped out by think tanks and policy centers decades ago, yet they insist that they've reached their conclusions based on their own thinking.

Those amongst you that are intelligent enough to have a serious fact based high level discussion on these topics are welcome to reach out any time. You're very much appreciated.

To the idiots out there: please, just fuck off.

@Stigma

Women (hysterics) don't connect to reality directly. They need a man to give meaning (frame). And that's a Tually such a luxurious thing to have. You remain a child for all your life.

That's the luxury the elite unwittingly grab for. Being freed from the practical issues of survival, they lose their grasp of reality. Then, just as a borderline who cuts herself in order to feel connection and relieve the existential dread, they go villain and do ranbom abusive things on their subjects.

That is, beside the "classical-marxist" analyses about profit etc, there are deeper psychological factor at play for the shit show we are witnessing.

And the bad thing is not only we are unlucky to be caught in the decline phase of the cycle, but that now there are neuclears.

This is the reason many have envisioned a wipe-out of the human species. These dynamics are built-in in the human species (probably as an evolved mechanism of expansion, from when the earth was still big enough: men saw the shit-show and moved to pristine lands).

Just as you can't really convince a woman it's for her children's best interests to be loving towards her husband, you can't convince the elite to not be assholes.

@adam-l Very interesting. Are these not pathologies though? I wouldn't expect a majority or even a significant minority, enough to destabilise the function of reality, to exist. Heck, maybe I'm wrong and to be well adjusted is the aberration? Which I suppose is answered by

They live an animalistic existence, following their "heart" (instincts), and they form the bulk of the followers of the perverse, psychopathic leaders.

this?

I dunno if you're familiar with the term min/maxing, but it speaks to the method of optimisation, mostly used in video games, where the greater scope of the game is sidelined for the results of the game. Trim away the fat, the experience and the process and hasten the result or reward. It seems society has been doing that to itself for some time, to a fault.
