On Lindsey Graham’s Hiroshima and Nagasaki references

Many people took Linfsey Grahem’s repeated references to Hiroshima and Nagasaki as an attempt at genocide apologetics. But what if he’s referring to something else completely? When Graham speaks of nuclear weapons, and in Tel Aviv, of all places, some things smell very very bad. After all, the genocide and the extermination of the Palestinians is a cause all American establishments embrace, there’s no need to reference atomic bombs for that. Besides, Israel is not going to nuke Gaza. It will not flaunt its weapons of mass destruction for Gaza, risking Egypt’s severe destabilization. Gaza is too small a target for that.

But if Graham is trying to prepare public opinion for something else entirely, this makes a whole lot more sense. Now what that target may be? it is not Lebanon: itself too small, with most of its military capabilities placed too close to Israel for the use of atomic bombs.

We are left with one big fat delicious, appetizing target for Lindsey Graham, Netanyahu, and the Adelson-Ackman (and co) WhatsApp group chat, and that’s Iran. Iran, you see, has been the object of Judeo-Christian colonial desires for 30 years.

Those people eat, sleep, and drink Iran’s demise, and pleasure themselves to simulations of hydrogen bombs landing on Iranian cities. They crave Iran. They list after it. They can’t control themselves. And Netanyahu is pushing in their direction an offer they simply cannot refuse: a chance to save Israel but also to get rid of Iran.

With Biden braindead, or just dead from all practical aspects, and with the level of chaos going on in America’s establishments due to lack of central recognized authority and the unchecked proliferation of psychopathy, the temptation to make a go at the biggest, wettest dream may prove too tempting. They know the US and Israel cannot take on Iran conventionally. But if they launch a barrage of 50 A-bombs? Who knows? It might actually work.

I am sure Russia and China know very well what time of day this is and the kind of crazy they’re dealing with, and maybe they have already delivered messages about the thermodynamic meaning of such an attack on Iran.

– I know that those types are clinically insane, and they are perfectly capable of dropping nukes on Iran (another clue: Netanyahu seems increasingly smug and content in this genocide, as if some big plan of his is advancing nicely).

I just hope there are enough sane people in the American security establishment to not let an event like that come to pass.
