It is very difficult for the U.S. and Israel to succeed in toppling the Iranian regime. However, if they manage to postpone its nuclear weapons capability by many years and leave its missile and drone industries decimated—making it very costly for Iran to fund and support its proxy militias—every penny will have been worth it."

Iran responded to the Trump administration’s ceasefire proposal with extensive demands: - Closure of all U.S. bases in the Gulf. - A new Strait of Hormuz framework allowing Iran to charge transit fees. - Full sanctions relief. - An end to Israeli operations against Hezbollah. - No discussions on Iran’s ballistic missile program.

@javitor48 @WarMonitor3 That’s an impossible goal that will never happen. You should read up on military history - opponents like Iran are never defeated on the battlefield. It didn’t work in Korea. It didn’t work in Vietnam. It didn’t work in Afghanistan. It didn’t work in Iraq and it won’t work here.

@FT Here’s how it would unfold. Marines would land on the island. Iran would blow up the troop transports. Iran would cluster bomb the Marines. Iran would hold them captive as a bargaining chip. Trump would look stupid like he always does.

@WarMonitor3 Iran knows they’re in the driver’s seat. Israel is about to find out what happens when they fuck with a par adversary. They may not have F-15s but they have time and geography, the recipe that has allowed them to control Persia for 5,000 years.

@javitor48 @WarMonitor3 I think similar minds to yours thought Iraq would be a cake walk and Afghanistan wouldn’t be run by The Taliban after 20 years of fighting. Military might without strategy or a clear end goal always leads empires to ruin. Iran doesn’t need the Straight to win, its about pressure

The war is very likely reaching its defining point. Iran's defenses and response levels are far from matching the strength, capabilities, technology, and overwhelming strike power of the US, aided by Israel. Iran's only chance was to trigger a crisis in global energy markets to force the international community and domestic opinion to push Trump to de-escalate. That is why threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz and bombing the gas and oil hubs of its neighbors has been their strategy from the start. Trump has managed to keep prices around $100—high, yet far from the apocalyptic $180-$200 range. This 'carom' strategy benefited Russia, allowing them to sell at better prices with relaxed sanctions, but Zelensky—Putin's nightmare—crashed the party by using his own drones and missiles to bomb Russia’s main Baltic port.

@FurkanGozukara @gtconway3d Article 2 section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

Absolute bombshell. General Jim Mattis completely destroys Trump's Iran war strategy on live TV. He says hitting 15,000 targets means nothing without a real plan, and calls the demands for unconditional surrender and regime change absolute "delusional nonsense."

@FT Article 2 section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

Elite paratroopers from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division are set to join other forces in the Middle East ahead of the US president’s deadline for Tehran to agree to end the conflict. ft.trib.al/19K1lml?

@BladeoftheS PASS THE BILL.

US Congressman Thomas Massie “We should end all US military aid to Israel.” HELL YEAH!

@chrismartenson The sad part is this was never made illegal because there hasn’t been a POS like this ever before in history.

If nobody goes to jail for this, we've entered the 'every man for himself' stage of empire decline.

@GovPressOffice @SecretaryBurgum Ratiod 👏

@SecretaryBurgum Doug, you’re too smart to pretend not to understand this. Oil trades on a GLOBAL market. Prices are rising everywhere — red states, blue states, even oil states. You don’t get to blame California for your boss launching a deadly and costly war without a plan.

Says the governor who relies on foreign, dirty oil from countries like Iraq, sending gas prices soaring for Californians who haven’t already fled the state for more affordable parts of the country!

@mercoglianos @WarMonitor3 Probably Singapore

@WarMonitor3 Pretty sure that is not Strait of Hormuz.

@Kasparov63 Time to suspend Hungary’s membership until they can elect a responsible leader.

With Orban’s Hungary there, may as well admit Russia to the European Union and give it a veto too.

@RepDonBacon @Kasparov63 @RepStenyHoyer Agreed. Time to give Ukraine the nuclear weapons it needs as the ultimate deterrent against wholesale invasion.

.@RepStenyHoyer is right. Congress should pass legislation helping Ukraine acquire the weapons it needs to defend against Russia’s invasion & tighten sanctions against Russia. We have 217 signatures to force a vote & only need one more. Americans overwhelmingly support Ukraine & want us to do more. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-re…

@Reuters Wow, I didn’t think that life served up justice anymore.

@EndGameWW3 This war did further exposed the corruption in the military industrial complex. Most of our weapons cost way more than they should, aren’t built for purpose/don’t work and take way too much effort to field correctly. If I were the Chinese I’d attack Taiwan today after seeing that

I don't support ANY politician, it isn't just Trump I fucking hate, I hate all of them, America always gets into these wars we can't finish. This isn't a bad mark on our military, we have the best in the world, it's a bad mark on our politicians, left and right, who don't know what the fuck they are doing...

@FazelHawramy @EndGameWW3 The US and Israel are run by war criminals you really think this will stop them? They probably see this as sweetening the target.

People in Mashhad city have gathered outside the city’s electricity plant to shield it against possible US airstrikes

@Navsteva Article 2, Section 4.

He's gone. 25th Amendment.

@OrenMarmorstein This is FAFO. This it what happens when you launch an attack against another country. Did you not expect repercussions?

Look at this. This is in Israel today. And this could be Rome, Berlin or Paris.

@GovPressOffice Every authoritarian government has had one. This is Trump’s Waffen-SS.

By sending ICE into airports, Trump is proving the problem in real time: ICE has become the president’s lawless, under-trained, personal police force, deployed to serve his agenda — not the law.

@EMarkov91947 @burrytracker I agree. Trump is a fucking dipshit regardless of what party he might belong to.

@BoomerBeetus @burrytracker You’re an idiot if you think this is a partisan issue. They’re different sides of the same coin, and that coin has been clipped like crazy.
