How Not to Actually Win a Nobel Peace Prize

Not long ago, I hesitated to start this thread. Unfortunately, its time has come.

US, Israel attack Iran live: Trump announces 'major combat operations'

Words can not describe my disgust that the POSOTUS and his Republicult™ have once again allowed a foreign war criminal to dictate America's foreign policy. Tuesday, November 3, 2026, can not get here fast enough.

Iran has a lot of problems, but this is pointless murder of civilians. Firing missles blindly into residential targets and schools killing children isnt going to overthrow the government. Nor will calling on its citizens, they are not armed, trained and have very in the little in the way of of resources to combat their government. Any protests have just led to deaths in the thousands.

This accomplishes nothing.

I don't know where this is going. But, it brings back memories of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and the Cuban Missile Crisis:

Trump raises prospect of 'friendly takeover' of Cuba, says Rubio in talks

As per this article:

"Tensions with Cuba ratcheted up after Cuban forces this week killed four exiles and wounded six others who sailed into Cuban waters aboard a Florida-registered speedboat and opened fire on a Cuban patrol. Rubio denied it was a U.S. operation and said no U.S. government personnel were involved.

The incident took place as the United States has blocked virtually all oil shipments to the island, increasing pressure on the Communist government. Last month, U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, removing a key Cuban ally from power.

"Rubio has railed against the Cuban government in recent weeks, calling the status quo there unsustainable, and saying Cuba needed to change "dramatically."

Cuban exiles who are largely concentrated in Miami have long dreamed of overthrowing the Cuban government or seeing it fall and have in the past plotted against the government that was established by the late revolutionary leader Fidel Castro.

Trump mentioned the large Cuban community, saying a takeover of Cuba by the U.S. could be "something good ... very positive" for people who had been expelled from the country.

"We have people living here that want to go back to Cuba, and they're very happy with what's going on," he said."

And, I don't remember the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and the Cuban Missile Crisis as being 'friendly' historical events.

The POSOTUS has driven his crazy train off the rails.
