3 cargo ships have been attacked.
The Strait of Hormuz remains choked off.
Reports of some Iranian oil getting through to China.
GCC slowing down oil production due to lack of storage.
Gas prices have gone up for 11 straight days.
Donald Trump is a pedophile.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Apparently, Kegseth hasnβt destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.
Domes for me but not for theeβ¦
Thatβs the spirit
Putin: βso you got into a war with no clear objectives, bombed kids on day 1, alienated your allies and your voters, jacked up the price of gas and crashed the markets a few months before the midtermsβ¦and you donβt have a way out which doesnβt make everything worseβ
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for the oligarchs.
Youβll do much better than that.
On average, his golfing escapades cost the taxpayer around $3.5-4 million dollars.
As long as you donβt need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things arenβt so bad.
Explain my bias.
Theyβll flood the zone with ridiculous and absurd narratives, create enough public fatigue so they can move on from what amounts to a massive war crime.
I wouldnβt put anything past them but it does lend some weight to conjecture they were rushed into this thing vs. had it planned it for months.
Unclear.
Given their claim of 2000 strikes on day 1, I wouldnβt be surprised if their βplanβ factored a large number of civilian casualties.
My theory:
The school was mistaken for an IRGC base by their intel (the fatal error)
It was targeted for a double strike to ensure maximum lethality (this regimeβs new motto)
No ground assets to confirm they hit what they intended.
Theyβre more interested in looking strong than being right
If they believed it to be an IRGC compound, they wouldβve scheduled a double strike for βmaximum lethalityβ, which the crazy SecWar drones on about daily.
Theyβre also bombing oil depots and water desalination plants.
A war fought without honor, is not a just war.
Theyβd rather it go away.
It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.
While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.
Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.
I donβt trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.
A wise administration wouldnβt start another war in the Middle East.
A competent administration wouldnβt bomb an elementary school full of children on day 1 of the war they started.
They are neither.
Beyond our shores, I worry about consequences when the rest of the world catches on.
Good guys shouldnβt have to struggle so much to prove theyβre the good guys.
When comms from the Commander and SecWar are drenched in bloodlust, it makes you look more like the crazy guys.
When you drag your feet to own your screwups, such as the bombing of an elementary school full of kids, it makes you look no different than the guys youβre at war with.
β¦
So when you circumvent the Constitution with word games, it makes you look more like the shady guys.
When you produce a series of bizarre war hype videos, it makes you look more like the unhinged guys.
β¦
Hereβs the thing about using the βTrust us, weβre the good guysβ premise to wage a war.
It puts you on the hook to prove youβre the good guys.
Every day. In every interaction.

Oh
I appreciate the yelp review, Sandra.
Not having a sense of humor is worse.
βDad, you keep teaching me how to be honest, to be kind, to be brave, to push back on bullies, to stand for what I believe in. What if I end up being none of these things?β
βThen, son, itβs likely youβll end up having a long and successful career in Congress.β
The only winners so far are the military-industrial complex, big oil and the oligarchs who get advance notice of Trump and Bibiβs actions.
