Wow: French news humiliated Trump by airing a split screen of him dancing at a rally while an oil tanker burns in lran. A disco anthem on one side. war zone on the other. This is how the world sees him now. A clown on the global stage.
Trump is a clown on the global stage.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
"even the declaration of no quarter"

Iran is a gas station posing as an Islamic Republic. Iran's oil exports are reportedly up since war broke out. That's nuts. First order of business must be to blockade Iran's ports. If that hurts China, all the better. Have the Chinese complain to Tehran...

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

The Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed to ship traffic because of Iran's attacks. Every Iranian attack is a negotiation. Iran knows it has leverage and is trying to end this war on favorable terms. Only way out is for the US to make concessions...

“If we were to suddenly disappear, a vast range of military hardware would cease to exist,” said the head of a Bryansk plant.
Ukraine just made that “disappearance” a reality.
'Pretending that a Taiwan crisis would be anyone’s ‘internal matter’ is as absurd and irresponsible as claiming the current Gulf conflict is of concern to the direct belligerents alone' writes Dr Philip @shelter-jones.bsky.social in the latest #RUSICommentary.
