This is my fear, possibility everyone else's fear. I feel like fundamentalists, especially those that use religion as a cover to maintain the power of their base, when they can't get what they want, they are willing to take themselves (or at least their followers) out if it means no one else gets what they couldn't have, whether thats laws, land, power, resources, water, ultimately whatever maintains their supremacy. I worry that if Israel thinks its not going to be able to succeed in what its doing, its going to nuke everyone around it, even if that poisons its own citizens. (and probably the people pushing the buttons will have jetted off to other countries).

Have you had a psycho neighbor, especially a fundamentalist psycho neighbor, especially a fundamentalist psycho neighbor that has the sheriff in their back pocket and runs the construction economy and spends their fun time stockpiling weapons in their basement, that everyone is worried will burn their house down in a meltdown over making sure other people don't get none if they don't get won? Because where I live we have more than we should. And NO one would say that anyone trying to mitigate that out of fear is saying that it would be someone else's fault other than the psycho.

I'm not actually clear what you took from my comment, but it seems to be completely disconnected from reality.

We are in uncharted terroritory. New word for these illogical times. Gambling with Armageddon, also a great book. Chris Hedges wrote an amazing book forecasting these moments, American Fascists.

I think what he's trying to say without giving it away is that he 's the one behind the killing of the Palestinians, and now he's the one behind the invasion of Israel Hezbollah having killed thousands of Israelis in just a few days.

Nice bot; yes?
