Nobody in the administration has answers. Trickle-down ignorance, trickle-down incompetence.

CU has to go.
The number of deaths we are responsible for worldwide is horrifying.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiarβfar higher than the Pentagonβs 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?
When is a war not a war? When it's convenient.

Trump says the war will be a short one β he called it βa little excursionβ yesterday β and has discounted the disruptions to global shipping. Rising gas prices at home, he said, are βa very small price to payβ for national security. βOnly fools would think differently,β he wrote on social media.
Trump said the war in Iran was βvery completeβ β before walking that back a few hours later. βWeβve already won in many ways, but we havenβt won enough,β 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.

Just wow. How much warning was dismissed as "overreacting"? And it's ALL coming to fruition.
