Putin can't believe his luck with this guy. He's spent decades having to think of plans within schemes to deal with western leaders and then Trump gives him America's most gullible man as a go-between
Do not believe anything until the Kremlin denies it™️

New: A Mysterious Code Is Being Broadcast on Shortwave Radio. Is It Iran?

I take a look at the "V32" Farsi numbers station that aired on Feb. 28. Also proxy and cyber attacks, as well as other asymmetric measures Iran might use.
I’m briefly in India. This is a facile observation, but Americans have barely scratched the surface in understanding how the rest of the world is reacting to this war. It’s already an Iraq War-style disaster in the global imagination, underscored by the thuggishness and caprice of the Trump approach
As good an image as any to illustrate America’s contribution to Middle East peace, order, and stability over the last 30 years.

APNewsAlert: ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — NATO defenses have intercepted a ballistic missile that entered #Turkey's airspace, the defense ministry says.
Morning.
Oil shock pushes rupee to all-time low; central bank support softens slide reut.rs/3Pp5gQ0
To survive would count as victory for Iran’s regime. So far, it is succeeding. Far from falling apart, it is lashing out in all directions, with multiple consequences
Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
APNewsAlert: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — #Bahrain's state oil company declares force majeure on its shipments after #Iran attacked nation's only oil refinery.
The Universe: Ok America, COVID gave you a long and excruciating lesson on logistics and the cascading effects of disruptions to key supply chains. Surely you learned something from that and understand that oil production can't just 'turn back on' right?

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

I can't think of a single example in history when an Iranian pretender to the throne sided with a foreign invader and then ended up ruling the country.
Nothing suggests that Pahlavi, who is seen here selling Iran out while Israel unleashes hell on Tehran, will be the first.
The worst thing is that he genuinely believes he is an expert on the Middle East when in reality he is confidently clueless.
I disagree, a little. I think this war, much like his odious engagement in Trump’s Gaza plans, reflects who he is and what he believes including his entire thing about the threat from political Islam. This war fits into his world vision.
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
I think the British public and media journalism sphere has not quite understood yet what a take-over of The Daily Telegraph by Axel-Springer will mean. Springer is no longer just a ‘centrist’ or ‘conservative’ publisher.
You couldn't make this up
Putin is supporting Iran with intelligence in the war
Yet Trump is considering unsanctioning more Russian oil according to Bessent
A clueless US Administration, in way over its head
Iranian strategy to raise the costs of this war for the US and its allies in the Gulf and in Europe seems to be working.
"No stupid rules of engagement ... no politically correct wars" US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth
Narrator - a brigade combat team of 5000 soldiers is not an invasion force. “Cancellation of Army exercise fuels speculation about Mideast troop deployments”
American soldiers die in wars ordered from Washington. Graves fill the ground. Families get folded flags. And the commander-in-chief golfs through it all. Some Americans sacrifice everything. Others treat war like a tee time. Remember who pays the price.
I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.
These girls are thinking three steps ahead
