    Even if the military splits 70/30 either way it could still kickoff a lengthy guerrilla campaign.

            Meanwhile, halfway around the world, Emperor Akihito of Japan has abdicated and his son Naruhito will ascend the Chrysanthemum Throne.
            💥, right on. Rockefeller’s et al would call up Dulles or Helms etc and cry foul until a Wall Street friendly dictator was installed.

                    It's how it's done. Domestically the United States has been, until recently, and obviously with enormous exceptions, a fairly progressive nation. Internationally it's always been just another pig at the trough.

                        Oh good. A carrier group and a stealth bomber task force sent to threaten Iran. And we effectively threatened them explicitly. All because Iran was reportedly planning an attack on US assets.
