A wise scriptwriter once wrote something like this:
"Rule of Acquisition # 34: War is good for business"
"Aren't you confused? Rule of acquisition # 34 is: Peace is good for business."
"Yes, it's easy to confuse the 2 rules."
Corollaries to this include: "War is good for business, but less so closer to the font lines you get."

The "Special Military Operation (read: War) in Iran is proof of this. Once America burns through its stockpile of arms, we will be placing orders to refresh our supplies - with kickbacks going to the Orange Snowflake and his family (of course).
Right now, I'm very glad that my nephew is long gone from the military, and has built up a nice civilian life. Soon, this war will become very asymmetrical, and I expect to see terror attacks occur around the world. (God, I hope I'm wrong about this.) But when one side has outgunned the other, what other way can there be to inflict pain upon an enemy?
I believe strongly in the law of unintended consequences. The orange snowflake keeps making errors which would force normal politicians out of office. But, as the leader of a cult, he has the support of a lot of under educated Americans who hold grievances against the society that has left them behind. Closing the main business in a "One Horse Town" often results in unemployment and a town that can no longer provide needed services to its residents. With no opportunities available, this class of people becomes economic surplus and not worth investing in. These people become alienated from the larger society, and will follow any "leader" who promises this group a new prosperity and the restoration of their social class and its privileges.
Many Americans see the Iran war for what it is - a distraction from the Epstein Files. With a submissive House and Senate, there is no effective check and balance on this demented megalomaniac. He only wants to be able to say "I AM the State!" So far, he has had a good run towards his goal. But this comes at a cost - he has destroyed all of America's soft power, as well as people's faith in a government that would work for the people.
Luckily, and I hate putting it this way, he will likely trigger a world-wide recession. Americans will not be able to afford foreign goods, and America's role as the "Consumer of Last Resort" will have ended. America will cease to be first among many democracies. Instead, it will be a lesser power among the democracies of the world, as we will need to regain the trust of the world. Yet, the entire world will have a large price to pay for the snowflake's aggression. People will starve because they can't afford food. Nations will need to build up their militaries because we no longer live in a rules-based world. And freedoms will be curtailed because authoritarian regimes will have more power over people. Does the end justify the means? I don't think so.

The current administration is floating the idea of resurrecting the draft. If I were of draft age and had a useful skill, I'd visit a few foreign lands (Canada being one of them) and look to leave the US for these countries. Being TG, I'd get as far away from the US as possible, as I fear that the snowflake will seriously consider annexing Canada before his term ends. I hope that Canada takes this threat seriously, as the snowflake is following the 1930's German History map which includes Austrian Annexation. (You may want to translate the page into English first.)
Although part of my family background comes from the Caribbean, it is way too close for comfort. Most of the Caribbean is inside America's "Mare Nostrum", So I wouldn't feel safe there as a cisgender person, much less a TG. All I can say is that I have my exit route planned, and am waiting on paperwork to make it easy to do so in a hurry.

Last night, I was talking with my friend Vicki about current events, and she sees the danger we are now facing. I mentioned the movie "Casablanca" and its cast, mostly made of European exiles forced out of their countries by the Nazis. Right now, I expect to have my "Letters of Transit" soon, and I hope my readers in America are making similar plans.
