Good Lord, Trump seems to have forgotten that in war, your enemy gets a vote. If the Iranians read this, they will understand he is terrified and desperate, and probably speed up the mining of the straits. Worst war leader in US history.

OekraΓ―ne helpt de VS met het onderscheppen van Iraanse drones, terwijl de Russen Iran helpen Amerikaanse militairen te doden. En toch beloont Trump de Russen met sanctieverlaging - waarmee hij OekraΓ―ne straft. Een Russische spion in het Witte Huis zou het niet heel anders aanpakken.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

New Human Rights Watch report finds that the US Israel massacre of an elementary school in southern Iran has to be investigated as a war crime. The US and Israel had sufficient information and intel to know whether it was a school or not.

Operational Excellence, Strategic Incompetence The president and his advisers are in the grip of β€œvictory disease.”

'Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth so far seem to be enjoying the fireworks. But the efficient and rapid destruction of buildings and machines, and the killing of some enemy leaders, is not the same thing as a strategy.' @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Russia sits back as the Iran war escalates, expecting long-term gains

Russia is already profiting from a surge in energy prices over the Iran war’s disruptions to tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and damage to energy facilities in Gulf countries.

Opinion | Ukraine has begun providing American troops with anti-drone missiles. If they actually wanted to help, they'd be opening an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?

Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. 

Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?
Hegseth: We’re investigating. 

Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.
