Despite a wildly unpopular war with Iran, a mass protest movement for peace hasn’t materialized — at least in the ways we’ve been taught to recognize.

    Okay, so right before the Israel-US attack you were expecting it? Interesting. The United States didn’t even know the attack was going to happen until late February, days before the attack.

      I wasn’t expecting that specific attack in that exact way, but of course I expected “an attack”.

      To me, an attack is the exact opposite of interesting… it’s mundane. The USA sends hundreds of drone strikes alone every year.

      USA vs. Iran goes back eighty years.

      Other mundane (or interesting, depending) predictions for the next year using my advanced psychic powers:

      Russia will attack Ukraine.

      Ukraine will attack Russia.

      The USA will strike Iran

      Iran will strike the USA

      Israel will strike HAMAS

      HAMAS will strike Israel

      Iran will attack Israel

      Israel will attack Iran
