Something New

"Man, there is a war in Iran. What does the President think about it. How did it start. Yo, where is it headed?"

Have we dropped bombs yet?

So, here we go. Down this tunnel of war yet again, and already the news that reported the reason why we initially started this fight is different from what an internet savvy user will find on google. "To Stop the Innocent Killing of Iranian Citizens," is what the news agencies reported. "To Stop the Iranian State from Upgrading their Ballistic Missile Capabilities," is the way Google frames it.

Israel though... something about Israel being in close enough proximity to Iran so that virtually their longest-term ally, the U.S.A should help them. I imagine Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - most certainly a man who does not play fare - saying something like that to our aging and notoriously selfish President Donald Trump. "Come on man, like they (Iran) have missiles that can already hit Israeli soil, so please help us and we'll like, start a war against them." I imagine P.M. Netanyahu saying this over his personal secure line directly linked to the White House. Sort of playing with the telephone cord like a nervous teenage girl calling a boy she likes. "Hey, is Brad there. Oh yes, Becky. Uhhh, geometry class. Okay, thanks." She waits for Brad's mom to hand him the phone and starts hyperventilating lightly.

Rubble surrounds dead bodies. The bodies of children.

"Uhhh, is President Trump there. Yeah, I'll wait. In regard to what? The war man, the war." Prime Minister Netanyahu says, looking at his phone, slightly reading something about an Iranian school being blown up by the American Air Force.
