White House: War Isn’t Hell. War Is Effing Awesome. You Are Hell. Once, war was justified by ho-hum lies about WMDs. Now, it’s Childish Gambino grooves and the Book of Revelation. Get with the program.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiarβ€”far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

I read earlier today that he thinks the people not wanting to run oil tankers through the Straits of Hormuz should just man up and do it. Damn the torpedoes! "Show some guts!" At least some of them might get through, right? And why would he care about the rest?

Trump says the war will be a short one β€” he called it β€œa little excursion” yesterday β€” and has discounted the disruptions to global shipping. Rising gas prices at home, he said, are β€œa very small price to pay” for national security. β€œOnly fools would think differently,” he wrote on social media.

Trump said the war in Iran was β€œvery complete” β€” before walking that back a few hours later. β€œWe’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough,” he said.

For a fragile ego like Trump, we will have NEVER won *enough.*

If you think the global leadership didn't know this would happen, you're naive.

Two known war criminals, with warrants for their arrests, have now expanded their wars.

They all knew.

They did nothing to prevent this.

The American government is the worst of it, as far as complicity.
Shameful.
