As one high ranking official quoted another former high ranking official who, when asked why there aren’t women at negotiating tables, said: “Women? They’ll go to the enemy, make peace and the wars will end!”

That describes it pretty well.

An investigation is ongoing into the incident where a barrage of US Tomahawk missiles struck an elementary school and killed 175 people, most of them young girls.

Trump has responded to the incident by claiming that Iran was responsible, despite evidence that the weapons used were Tomahawks. A fib!

The US Navy that won World War II had nearly 7,000 ships. The fleet had nearly 600 ships at the Cold War’s close.

Today, the Navy has fewer than 300 vessels. It's exhausted by operations from the Western Hemisphere to the Western Pacific.

Donny and Petey don't get this and it could be disastrous.

Trump temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil for a month, thus rewarding the Kremlin with fresh revenues to pursue its invasion of Ukraine, and said he might make that relief permanent.
This is the epitome of thick headedness.

Trump’s Huge, Complete, Very Strong Victory Over Iran Is Getting Costly If this is #winning, what would losing look like?

The Iran war is penny wise and pound foolish, which is maybe the *best* gloss you can put on it.

Folks, it is estimated by experts that the shipping channel Straits of Hormuz will now be closed for months.
Use gasoline wisely and expect to pay a lot more, maybe double, than it was less than a month ago.
Remember this mess when you go to the polls in November.
This, friends, is self-inflicted.

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

The way people relate to others in public and online is a pure reflection of how they treat themselves.
We every one of us work too hard at protecting our egos.
Too much 'self-interest' leads people down the wrong path. It is misguided behavior.

Iranian drones will imperil shipping in the Straits of Hormuz for a very, very long time.

Iran has a very good opportunity to choke the world's energy economy unless China and Russia see it in their interests to intervene.

Russia will benefit big-time selling oil and gas during this crisis.

Trumps TACO not so tasty for Iran.
Iran is extremely unlikely to “eat the taco” as readily as prior opponents and give him an apparent victory that he will now use politically to resurrect himself only to possibly make another future armed foray on Iran for his own political needs.
Iran won't bow.

I'm very tired of Dipstick Donny's choices about how to run the world. This Iran war is a "Donny's Choice" thing, along with Israeli leadership. He fumbles the ball just about every time with his misreads and play calling.
