Pollard Spy case and why US won't invade Iran

 In the '80 it was a navy office, Pollard who gave Israel US classified information. He was caught and severely punished. It was US message to Israel to not take their friendship for granted.

Maybe Israel took this time US friendship for granted if they attacked Iran without consulting with US.

There are 2 reasons why US won't invade Iran:

1. If it commits it's forces there it leaves Taiwan unprotected and China will seize the opportunity to take it.

Losing Taiwan, Chinese submarines can approach undetected from US west coast, and Chinese navy will roam free in Pacific.

If US responds to China, it is WW3 and US will be stretched in Ukraine,Iran and China

2. British and French controlled their colonies by antagonizing the local tribes and being kind of referee. 

US has the same role between Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

If Iran is gone, those countries don't need US.

How to deviate public discourse

Elon Musk and Donald Trump divorced.
Elon put bitter post on X former Twitter accusing Trump that he is in Epstein files and that why the files are not released.
Instead of media jumping with questions in Elon like: What do you know more Elon?
We know that Trump and Epstein went to parties together and liked younger women , but do you have any proof of something illegal.
Instead the media focuses Elon's character:
If you knew that Trump is doing something illegal, why do you support him ?
And now the right wing media discovers Elon's ketamine consumption.
This is seen by left and right wing vloggers.
Elon it is right, US need a third party to make political life more competitive.
MAGA in US and AUR in Romania are political movements that are not properly represented in politics.
They are a cauldron of economic frustrations. And no political party seems to be capable to address these frustrations. 
In '30 in US, the frustrations were higher but you got FDR administration to address directly.
Now you have Trump administration who seemed preoccupied with kicking out as many emigrantyas possible and changing tarifs every week 
United States was created by plantation owners, at end of 18 century.
Then emigration and industrialisation pushed aside the plantation owners at the end of civil war.
Since then US rose higher and higher. Won 2 world wars and a cold one.
One major factor of this was emigration of skilled workers. 
US benefited from educated, ambitious,working able men, like Nikola Tesla, Andrew Carnegie to use it's economic resources to the max. 
Sure immigration brought also big criminals like Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky.
Brasil,Russia they are same size as US, they have economic resources but they are not matching US 
Why ? Because these countries had entrenched oligarchies who didn't allow emigrants fresh of the boat to become industrialists.
US system allowed Elon Musk to become who is today.
Trump's and Bannon's policies will stop 2 flows that pushed america forward: international trade and emigration. 
Maybe this will lead to less innovation, less competitiveness, and US will transform in a exporter of commodities and weapons like Russia.
The incoming crisis should be handled by competent people and none of the parties seems to do it.
US needs a party to renew the politics, and bridge gaps been left and right.

US universities produce scholastics?

 The theologian of middle ages, wasted time debating if the angels have sex.

(Victoria secret angels for sure they have.)

After them came the impericist who tested hypothesis.

Also in same period we have the renaissance man who knew few trades and he could use this to check if the hypothesis is correct (Leonardo da Vinci, knew to cast bronze,paint, sculpt, build complicated machinery)

After that came the nature philosophers like Newton who tested their knowledge against nature.

German university were the first ones who used research.

And now in 21 century we are back at scholastics.

I just saw a video of US history professor who lectured about Aztecs and he said that in war they wrestled their enemies they captured them and they sacrificed one year later.

As anyone who studied self defence, the best way to defend against a wrestler is to stick a sharp object in to some blood vessels or in the eye or  throat.

The Aztecs and their enemies had obsidian blades, they could sharp an antler, or a thick branch and use it, if they wanted to avoid a heart surgery on the top of the temple.

And the 'profesor' laughed and said that mist of the people don't use their brain 

I don't want to publish the name of the profesor because I hope he fades in to obscurity.

Honestly I expected more from US universities, I expected more a pragmatic no nonsense approach, in which the hypothesis are strongly scrutinized.

It is not the only case: I have read a study that showed that make hands evolved for punching.

Then why some boxers fracture their hands?
