the toronto star has a couple of the press conferences.
just horrible.

Who else would have an interest in high oil prices, strained NATO relations, and distractions from Ukraine?

yep, sadly, fox news will make it so.

"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?

donald trump not listening to the experts once again

Jared Kushner Solicits Funds for His Firm While Working as Mideast Envoy

Jared Kushner is cashing in on your government's influence. It’s the biggest conflict of interest in history, happening in broad daylight.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

yipes:
“Though Iran could sink his presidency, he already has his eye on his next adventure in Cuba
“It may be a friendly takeover [of Cuba],” Trump said. “It may not be a friendly takeover.”
I do not know when Iran’ll end or whether Cuba’ll begin. Neither does Trump. We are all along for the ride”

this made me chuckle:

“He (Trump) serially fails the marshmallow test.”

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

1. Let me see if I have this right. The Russians are now helping the Iranians kill Americans, first by providing “targeting information,” according to the Post.

Iran War Game #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #OilShock #Trump #Putin #Khameini #Russia

Everything’s fine. #IranWar

thanks for including the tie-breaking details.

I'm not sure the coverage is really making enough of Trump spending blood and treasure to replace a dying hard liner with a younger hard liner who now has a burning personal reason for revenge. And gloating about what a success this is.

Dear America: Appearently you now have a President AND a Prime Minister. Not to worry though, they are both criminals.

just horrifying.

hey nbcnews, abcnews, & cbsnews: this would be an excellent news story about how your tv competitor is misinforming the public.

haha. what d’ya know.
trump even embarrasses foxnews.
(i’ll enjoy this small chuckle even tho the rest of the news horrifies. )

That Trump repeats calls for Iran's unconditional surrender on same day he's got the defence industrial chiefs round for an emergency meeting on military supplies perfectly sums up his grasp of ends & means.

This is an atrocious statement from an American defense secretary.
Video game videos of bombing.
Arrogant rhetoric.
But no clear strategy for a billion dollar per day war

By her own definition she's not welcome.

⬆️ this

trump got played by putin.
what a surprise…

#PresidentMiller say what?

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

Trump’s people have no idea how to govern.

quote:
”But his (Patel’s) gutting of the global espionage unit, known as CI-12, also came days before Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, a series of bombing strikes on Iran that killed the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.”

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

i cannot believe this is a statement from a US Vice President:

“…but the difference is that back then we had dumb Presidents, and now we have a President who actually knows how to accomplish America’s national security objectives. ”

what an offensive ass.
