Again, we have utterly and drastically opposing views of how the world really works.

We are not the police. We are the robbers.

And what aggravates this disconnect is that you - you, in your own words this very day - made reference to the "we need/want their ****" excuse for making war on sovereign states and peoples. You also defended jackbootery with the argument that if we're not stepping on their necks, they'll be stepping on ours - a SECOND example this very day of you framing our action as other than the neocon canard of our "being the world police." I do not understand how your brain has the space for those utterances, and toleration of the "world police" narrative. I've heard of a game called cops and robbers, but our country being both cops and robbers is no game.

I know what our aircraft carriers are doing. The Frod and the Lincoln are limping away from combat, injured.

And I know what the western press is doing. Covering that up. But the rest of the world knows. And those of us who source from non-western journalists know. We don't know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. But we know what our own press is covering up. And what they are covering up is that Iran got to the lincoln and the ford, caused death and failure, forced retreat.
