War in Iran

Simple Solution

War

There is an easy and effective solution to Trump’s and the world’s problem as regards the war in Iran. Yet the solution is close to impossible for a narcissist to enact. What is required is the simple truth.

Trump has to say to the Iranians that he made a mistake. He started a war, together with Israel, that he never should have started. He can begin by being accountable for needlessly killing 165 or so little girls by bombing their school and offer reparations to their families and to the families of everyone he killed. Then he can sit down with the Iranian leaders and negotiate to return, as much as possible, to the accord reached by Obama and Kerry. Finally, he can dissociate himself and America from Israeli influence, suspending all financial support of Netanyahu’s genocide and killing.

But of course this requires accountability and humility, the ability and willingness to admit to wrongdoing and recognize the consequences of his behavior. So far, this has proven impossible for Trump and his sycophants. This type of strength is beyond his prideful comprehension. It is also historically incomprehensible to most men. Homer wrote of the violent, terrible pride of men in his ancient epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. In these stories, Odysseus leaves home and his beloved wife out of loyalty to King Menelaus, who goes to war because his too-young and beautiful wife, Helen, runs off with the young and handsome Paris. He abandons home and the divine feminine to fight and kill for ten years and then spends ten years trying to get back home. A terrible, tragic, and suffering result of toxic male pride. He does make it back to the divine feminine but only after much murder and mayhem. What a waste of life and love...an exciting and stupid story. A story we have lived by for thousands of years. A story available to us on Netflix, Fox, Amazon… and on… and on and on.

Our cultural stories of war and manhood are old, useless, and taking us to final catastrophe.

Here’s another suggestion. Pete Hegseth, “fearless warrior” and believer in the war story, should take estrogen instead of testosterone, grow a pair of ovaries, and shrink his pathetic balls.

The world will be better for it and for some honest, accountable truth.

It’s way overdue for us to conceive and create a world without war, once and for all. It may not sell as well among men at the box office, but we’ll all live longer and safer.
