If *I* knew that the closing of the Strait of Hormuz was a major—if not THE major—risk of going to war with Iran, then Trump’s national security team should have known.
And I think they did.
They were likely advised about it by knowledgable officials and ignored the warnings.
The question is why.
Like everything else in our timeline, our version of "callow young white boys blithely fuck everything up, never appreciate the damage they did, and face zero accountability" is just so f'ing ham-handed & over-the-top. Not believable. Terrible writing.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.
How embarrassing‼️

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump denies responsibility for the deadly girls school bombing as evidence points to the U.S. The Pentagon underreports wounded troops. Iran threatens Hormuz shipping. Oil markets swing. GOP infighting grows. Lindsey Graham melts down on TV. And more.

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.
Incoming! 1,300-pound NASA satellite will crash to Earth on March 10 "The risk of harm coming to anyone on Earth is low — approximately 1 in 4,200."
“We WANT to suppress voters.
That’s the only way we can win.”
The majority opposes them.
Never forget.
In free and fair elections, they lose.
Why would he have to talk to Putin? Asking his latest daddy for validation?!?
Mutilization???🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
What this further confirms is that the Trump administration knows Russia is helping Iranians try to kill Americans, but is doing nothing to stop it. How about sanctions or more arms sales to Ukraine?
Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.
But will they show the actual footage?!?
Of course not!!
Iran has destroyed key U.S. radar systems in Middle East. Satellite imagery confirmed damage to high-value $300-$500 million AN/TPY-2 radar in Jordan, while reports indicated an even more expensive, roughly $1 billion early-warning radar was hit at the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar
Strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.
Happy International Women's Day!
Fuck Trump.
Added an additional tip after the Uber drove me to brunch.
