Escalation Please

I don't know if this is Iran being cagey - trying to tell us something about how the US government isn't what we've been told it is - but if Trump orders commensurate retaliation against Iran for hitting Elon's stuff, then we'll have a clearer idea on who's running things at the White House.

For my money, it'll just be a bit of confirmation of my worries about radical libertarians pushing hard for Plutocracy.

For those guys, the federal government has three main purposes:

1. Defend US commercial interests abroad
2. Keep the rabble in line at home
3. Settle contract disputes 

I'll say it again: Gettin' pretty fuckin' tired of living in interesting times.
