The Iranian civilization is five thousand years old. It's not out of the blue that they have a hundred underground missile and drone cities. They know how to play the long game, and America never does.

Yes I expect they started digging those missile bunkers 2000 years ago knowing that one day someone, somewhere, would invent something they could launch at passing ships.

Huh. They didn't, but probably several decades ago.

Tell me, which American project took several decades to come to maturity? There has been none. Its focus and attention span isn't long. The next President cancels or doesn't follow up with what the previous President starts, which effects a limit of eight years to any project. There is zero civilizational thinking.

To the EU - we need a new global leader. Please get your act together and step up.

The EU leadership is even worse than what they have in USA.

Perhaps worse than what the US had before the fall, but it's still an open question of whether Europe will hold it together or fall to the same corpo-authoritarian + revanchist-destructionist movements that are killing the US.
