🇺🇸🇮🇷 Tucker accuses Trump of betraying America First by starting the war on Iran, something Trump promised over and over he would never do. He calls it the exact opposite of America First: the U.S. put Israel’s interests ahead of its own, launching the war on their chosen timing, not America's. And he doesn’t stop there, he says George W. Bush went into Iraq largely because of Israel too: “I was there, I talked to Bush. That’s not a lie, it’s the truth they’re trying to erase from history. Trump should have pushed back. Of course he should have. But he didn’t.” The Economist

Why am I against this war? As someone who's been EXTREMELY critical of the Iranian regime, so much so I was labeled 'zio' by many, I've always advocated AGAINST regime change through military means The reason is simple: In over 100 years, there's been ZERO successful regime change operations without boots on the ground And we're seeing this play out right now: The Iranian regime's grip on power has strengthened under bombardment, and they've become even more brutal in suppressing dissent If the U.S. conducted a very limited military operation to give Iranians the chance to bring down the regime, then maybe I would have been supportive (assuming the country does not descend into civil war) But seeing Iran get bombed daily, Israel and the region get attacked, U.S. troops die, and the global economy cater... this is not what I envisaged for 2026. I want the U.S. to win against China I want the regime to fall I want Iran to be a democracy I want Hezbollah's military arm gone I want Lebanon and Iran to normalize with Israel But a prolonged war with Iran is NOT the way to achieve any of these goals

🚨🇮🇷🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is projecting $180 oil if this war drags on $200 isn’t “out of the question,” with forecasts pointing to $138–$140 next week and $150 by early April. U.S. gas is already at $3.88, up from $2.93 just a month ago, with diesel at $5.10. Even Saudi Arabia doesn’t want this, at some point demand collapses and the global economy takes the hit.

🚨🇮🇷🇮🇱 Did Netanyahu just admit Israel’s real objective in this war? “I think that what has to be done is… just have oil pipelines, gas pipelines going west… right up to Israel, right up to our Mediterranean ports.” That wasn’t a leaked memo, it was Netanyahu saying the quiet part out loud. For years, every Middle East conflict comes wrapped in the same official packaging: security, deterrence, existential threats. And to be fair, when it comes to Iran, those concerns are real. Nuclear ambitions from a regime that wants to wipe Israel off the map is a genuine concern. But this isn’t just about centrifuges and missiles, it’s about maps. Energy maps. The Middle East runs on choke points, the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, narrow arteries where a single flare-up can send oil prices into orbit. Netanyahu’s idea? Bypass them entirely. Build pipelines across the Arabian Peninsula. Route energy through Israel. Turn Mediterranean ports into the West’s new fuel tap. No choke points. No bottlenecks. No leverage for rivals. And suddenly, the question is: who benefits from redrawing the region’s energy map? Iran sits astride the current system of chokepoints and influence. Weakening Iran weakens that system. A weakened system makes alternative routes, like the ones Netanyahu is describing, a lot more attractive. Now layer in the timing. Every escalation with Iran gets framed as preemption, stop the threat before it materializes. But it also reshapes the strategic landscape in ways that just happen to align with this pipeline vision. Because if you can turn your country into the region’s energy corridor, the place where oil flows safely, predictably, profitably, you’re buying influence, leverage, and relevance. So is the Iran conflict all about this plan? Probably not. Security concerns are real. Ideology is real. Power struggles are real. But to pretend energy isn’t sitting in the background, quietly shaping incentives, quietly rewarding certain outcomes, is to ignore how the modern Middle East actually works.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 THE STEALTH MYTH JUST TOOK A HIT, AND THAT SHOULD WORRY EVERYONE A U.S. F-35, the crown jewel of modern airpower, just limped home after taking fire over Iran. Not destroyed. Not confirmed shot down. But hit. And that alone changes the conversation. For years, the F-35 has been sold as invisible, untouchable. A jet designed to slip through enemy airspace like a ghost. So what happened? First, let’s kill the myth: stealth does not mean invisible. Every aircraft reflects radar. The trick is reducing that signal, bending it, scattering it, shrinking it into something harder to detect. Harder. Not impossible. And that distinction may be the whole story. Because the skies over Iran right now aren’t a one-off mission. They’re crowded, repetitive, predictable. F-35s have been flying there a lot. Same routes. Same altitudes. Same mission profiles. That matters. Air defense isn’t static. It learns. Modern systems don’t just “see” aircraft; they collect data over time. Patterns. Angles. Frequencies. Tiny radar returns that look like noise until they don’t. Do that enough times, and the noise starts to look like a signature. Then there’s the second possibility: this wasn’t just Iranian ingenuity. Iran doesn’t build its air defense ecosystem in isolation. It buys. It reverse-engineers. It integrates. Russia has spent years refining systems specifically designed to counter Western stealth. China has invested heavily in multi-band radar, systems that trade precision for detection, spotting stealth aircraft at longer ranges even if they can’t track them perfectly. Individually, these systems have limits. Together? They create something closer to a net. The third explanation is the simplest and the least comfortable: War is messy. Even the most advanced aircraft in history can be hit under the right conditions. A lucky shot. A brief exposure. A pilot forced into a less-than-ideal flight path. The same conflict has already seen drones shot down, friendly fire incidents, and dense, overlapping air defenses lighting up the sky. In that environment, “stealth” becomes less of a shield and more of an advantage, one that can be eroded. If Iran, with a patchwork of imported systems and domestic improvisation, can even touch an F-35, then the future of air warfare looks very different than advertised.
