    "Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore - They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!! They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP"


    "The Fake News Media refuses to report how EFFECTIVE the U.S. Naval BLOCKADE is, the most successful Blockade in the history of Naval Warfare. NOTHING GETS THROUGH unless we want it to. IT IS A STEEL WALL! Iran is doing ZERO business, not paying their military, or any of their bills, and quickly becoming a FAILED NATION! Lots of oil is getting out. Praise be to Allah! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

    Not that Iran isn't already on high alert, but what is the point of repeatedly telling them what you're about to do?

    He is admitting he wants to commit more war crimes on top of it. Meanwhile today....

    Trump says 'I love the inflation' after consumer price index hits 3-year high

    "You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why?" Trump said. "Because as soon as this war is over, you know I can say it now ... you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil."
    "Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran, until right now," Trump said.

    He did it again today....

    "The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT. At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

    With all the escalation going on across the Middle East, from gang rapes and torture committed by soldiers, use of white phosphorus, bombing schools, hospitals, neighborhoods, infrastructure, and water plants, all while demanding censoring media and footage, this article from a couple months ago is concerning.

    War Crimes Are No Longer Shameful. That Should Terrify You.

    Disturbing Disregard for Civilian Life in Escalating Middle East Conflict

    For decades, leaders who were responsible for war crimes tended to plead ignorance or insist it was a mistake and their hands were clean. What has changed in the Middle East is the swaggering contempt we have seen from the United States, Israel and Iran as they instead dismiss, mock or flout the international laws protecting civilians. If the international community does not urgently reassert support for those norms, it may be acquiescing to their destruction.


    https://www.hrw.org/news/2026/04/09/war-crimes-are-no-longer-shameful-that-should-terrify-you

    I hate being part of it, but when you have an inexperienced, cocky, narcissist as Secretary of Defense who says the stuff he does, it's disturbing.

    After announcing that the US had “demolished” Iran’s Kharg Island, Trump told NBC News, “We may hit it a few more times just for fun.” Hegseth has declared that “no quarter” would be given to enemies in Iran.

    The worst part is that Trump is even more narcissistic, and an even bigger liar than Hegseth. Those two would try covering up the truth, just like they have already, all while pumping their fists and declaring victory, without an ounce of remorse for innocent civilians. Even our own soldiers have spoken out about lies spewed by Hegseth when they were attacked. If they do proceed with a ground invasion and our troops die, don't expect the truth when those officers come knocking on your door with the news of your loved ones.

    "We dropped $250 million worth of bombs on them last night," Trump said in a Fox News interview Thursday morning.

    Just add that to the billions we are paying for Trump's war, ceasefire, skirmish, or whatever the heck he's calling it each day.

    He cites a dollar number on the bombs, correct value or not.

    Jeez.

    2026 version of this when we send the 82nd to get Hostomel’d because our commander and chief has dementia.

    ridiculous that we spend so much money on the military year after year, and we can’t even handle a nation like Iran

    this is like spending thousands of dollars on a tutor for your kid, just for them to still be coming home with D’s and F’s about to repeat a grade

    this war is costing over 2 billion dollars a day, and we’re still getting stuffed into a locker…not by some global super power, but by Iran

    we can’t afford to give people healthcare…can’t afford funding for SS…can’t afford free daycare…but we can afford to lose to Iran

    Some say it's an unforced conflict. Others say it's an existential conflict to its core. We are Russia and this is our Ukraine.
