Cutting through an overload of information to get to the heart of the story.
This is The Point.
Aggression is aggression, no matter how you frame it.
And the more successful from a military point of view, the more egregious it becomes, full stop.
At least that's my personal take on the topic today, the US strikes on Iran over the weekend.
Make no mistake, that's what we are seeing.
Operation Midnight Hammer is the name.
Smashing international law is the game.
They want you to focus on what the hammer is claimed to be used for,
but the real issue is that some people believe they have the right to swing it at will simply
because they can.
And to come out on TV and publicly brag about how spectacular the whole thing was and then have the audacity to call for peace?
Are these people living in another universe?
So what triggered President Donald Trump's to give the go ahead?
What might Iran's response be?
And how would the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz,
as the media are talking about, affect the world?
