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:
Among those allegations was that #Epstein took photos of her posing nude and tried to extort her mother to keep the images secret. Her mother couldn't afford what was demanded by Epstein, the allegations said, and she stole $22,000 from her real estate firm

It turns out that if you help Ukraine with modern highly effective missiles - and stop trembling in fear of Putin and burying Ukraine under endless absurd restrictions - Russia starts losing key military factories and weapons one after another.
It becomes less capable of continuing this war.
I’m working with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on trying to save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp, which is rapidly taking over Lake Michigan, and all of the beautiful surrounds. I’ll be asking other Governors to join into this fight, including those of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York and, of course, the future Governor of Canada, Mark Carney, who I know will be happy to contribute to this worthy cause. Separately, I am also working to save The Great Salt Lake, in Utah, which, in a short period of time, if nothing is done, will have no water. This is on top of everything else I am doing. Only “TRUMP” CAN DO IT! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump refers to Prime Minster Mark Carney as "the future Governor of Canada"

"If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz…"
"Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them"
"That will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again"
Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both
"oil prices up 50%... But I still want to emphasize one thing. Yeah, that hurts at the pump. Yeah, it sucks. But you know what's worse? War. And so we shouldn't trivialize the big issues here, which is, you know, we're at war with Iran. Big deal for young American troops. Big deal for the Iranians."
a heavily slurring Trump: "We're achieving major strides toward completing our military objective. Some people could say they're pretty well complete."
Trump: "We've struck over 5,000 targets to date. Some of them very major targets. And we've left some of the most important targets for later in case we need to do it. If we hit them it's gonna take many years for them to be rebuilt ... we're not looking to do that if we don't have to."
Another invader in Ukraine.
What a feat, Vladimir!

According to the DHS report, the fatwas label the U.S. and Israel as "the most wicked enemies of humanity" and urge followers worldwide to take revenge.

The department views these orders as a prediction of an impending terrorist attack on the United States.
The Department of Homeland Security is circulating a "critical incident note" warning that Iran has issued two "fatwas" calling on Muslims to avenge the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
These attacks, like all phishing, rely on social engineering. Attackers impersonate trusted contacts or services (such as the non-existent “Signal Support Bot”) to trick victims into handing over their login credentials or other information. 3/7
Colonel Oleksandr Dovhach, commander of Ukraine's 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade and Hero of Ukraine, was killed on the Eastern front on March 9 while conducting a combat mission against heavy air defense opposition. He flew hundreds of combat sorties since the full-scale invasion began. #Ukraine
President Trump’s eldest sons are investing in a new drone company, expanding their defense portfolio at a moment when the Pentagon is ramping up its own spending on unmanned aircraft systems.
One week ago, markets were incredibly complacent. That's been replaced by all-out panic. This means the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is now priced. A big risk premium has built in oil. Better not to chase this spike. Brent can't keep rising indefinitely.

The Strait of Hormuz is closed. It's not going to get more closed than it already is. All the risk is now on the other side, i.e. when and to what extent it opens. You can bet Trump is very focused on that. The midterms depend on it. That caps oil prices...

"We know full well why we are under attack, and we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls his 'allies' in the region"
It's Day 4,400 of Russia's plan to destroy Ukraine and Ukrainian culture.
That's how long ago Putin ordered the capture of Crimea.
It's Day 1475 of Russia's all-out invasion.
