Karma will hit the Israeli/US coalition of evil like a ton of bricks for bombing and burning Iran on false pretenses, killing their citizens and destroying their infrastructure and livelihood.
I wish karma would get on with it then before anymore die in horrific circumstances not of their own making. It should have already happned with the horrors inflicted upon Gaza, if takes thus long we could all be dead before any karma is enacted.
Yes, that is pretty much how I see it. Most of the world looks the other way. Many feel powerless against the world billionaires and their agendas. Including the almost faceless ones that make a living from all the weapons production. Ruthless, greedy, corrupt people who don’t give a fuck about the planet, people, animals or humanity.
Meet at a regular lunch amongst half a dozen pals. It's blazingly apparent media programming is cemented in archaic head hardware and they don't see the reality of what you write. They ignore Iranian pain, blood and its waste by Washington and Israel's modern day pirates, more malice without justification. I worked in Tehran, peace loving Iranians wasted like confetti, your words razor sharp so accurate - thank you.
China already is the adult in the room... as well as the majority of Iranian leaders I've heard speak, since the hideous Israeli/U.S. atrocities over the past few years, present as far more calm, rational, sensible, intelligent, honest, and far less psychotic, terroristic, and hate-filled than the vast majority of U.S. leaders. And all Israeli leaders come off sounding and acting like hate-filled, serial lying, murderous terrorists... because that's exactly what they are.
how did the US lose? Afghanistan is a failed state! They are selling their organs and daughters to eat for cryin out loud. What is your guys' idea of winning? Two people are dead in Minnesota and they pulled medicaid funding. Vietnam is still suffering from agent orange and poison of its ecosystem, not to mention the trauma. Oh and yeah all those people they killed AREN'T COMING BACK.
Russia is also helping Iran. Russia has been remarkably restrained considering all the NATO missiles flying into their country and killing civilians, as well as the 18 000 ethnic Russian civilians killing in Eastern Ukraine (which is historic Russian land) before NATO started the war. Russia is helping the Iranians and hopefully can stop the Ameraelis from nuking Iran.
The West says THEIR culture is oppressive and needs to be changed "for the people"? So they can be like us? Trump tells them to rise up and we will help them. Of course that's a lie, but the hubris is breath-taking in audacity and irony.
"Liberals say 'Trump will lose the midterms'". Ever since Trump was elected the Liberals and Never Trumpers have contested his authority at almost every turn and yet when he declares war for Israel none of his enemies: Schumer, Jefferies, Pelosi et al have challenged him on it. No speeches no condemnations.
Thank you, Caitlin. That wonderful poem is my sentiment to the shithead American public who are too apathetic to be distracted from their plastic infested lives and do something to stop their satanic government from slaughtering innocent people.
Someone needs to put Israel out of its misery or mark my words, they'll drop a nuke next not only pulverizing Iran but endangering the entire planet. They are a threat to life and humanity at this point. I am really baffled all the other 140+ nations arent coming together to put a stop to this. Again, I have to ask, do they really think it will go away if they stay quiet?
Strong visuals. Visceral anger. What good poetry should go for.
I'm not sure it will impress the people you're writing about and make them change their minds, however. It could make them double down on their sadism and apathy. The world doesn't need more sadism and apathy at this point. It needs revolutionaries and visionaries.
For the first time I can remember, our son. With his small family in tow, casually suggested we toast ourselves as we got together. ”It might be our last mean together”, he said. He doesn’t normally say anything even remotely connected to the present human conflicts which make the news every day. This time was different.
Like an ice pick through my brainstem.
In one sense, thanks.
In another, ouch,

It's not just Israel and the US who are implicated in the culture of capitalistic evil that lead to attacks all over the world.
AND THE PALESTINIANS.
Karma is bullshit; but it's certainly nice to think about.
Of course...many beliefs are "bull shit," but some beliefs, for some, are interesting concepts to play with, explore.
....and so karma should 👍...to karma 🥂
Let us hope so anyway.
This is consistent with the US invasion of Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan another other less famous countries.

US is going to lose this one with Iran. Like with Afghanistan. Vietnam. Minnesota.
This time, slowly the dollar will lose its power.
China will end up being the adult.
The US will have lost its power, along with genocidal Israel.
The US needs to try to dig out of 3d world status.

🤯😩sometimes the shame of being a privileged white westerner is too much for me.
Knife-like prose from you guys, but accurate.
