@Hal_Turner_Show @crankycartoons Check out this tubby little sawed-off twerp talking tough.

@crankycartoons Think this is bad? Wait until we invade Canada. You limp-wristed girly-men, sissy-Marys have a lot to say. But you have no way to back up what you say. You will become the 51st state. Prepare yourselves.

Listen up, you MAGA garbage, weirdo motherfuckers. There is no forgiving what you’ve done to the world. The hurt, pain and death you’ve caused, the hate in your hearts, we’re all going to pay for it. You’ve taken a world that could’ve been made better and made it far worse. You three-time Trump-voting pedo defending motherfuckers, there is no forgiving you. None. This is your war. These are going to be your children who die. This is your fault. This is your stain on the world. All of this comes from the criminal destruction you let into the White House. Fuck every one of you. I hope you enjoy the coming financial and global collapse. I hope you enjoy the world you’ve created, where corporations buy up everything and you’re left paying for nothing and told to be happy about it. This is your world now. Not mine. This isn’t what anyone with a half functioning brain wanted. You wanted authoritarianism? Well, here you fucking go. Enjoy it. Those ICE agents in your airports? That’s just the beginning. Go watch the start of The Handmaid’s Tale to really understand what you’ve done. So if you’re listening, every single one of you, fuck you!🖕 There is nothing redeeming about any of this. The blackness in your hearts is as disgusting as the shit that comes out of your stupid mouths. Every MAGA that ever voted for Trump, you pieces of shit, you garbage people, you are nothing more than the scum of the Earth. My heart breaks for all the pain, evil and destruction you’ve brought upon us all, and if there is a hell, I hope you all rot in it.

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP IS GIVING IRAN ONE LAST FINAL CHANCE FOR THE 6TH TIME THIS WEEK

@FurkanGozukara It's truly incredible how stupid Trump is. He's like a 9 year old kid explaining how things work and the adults in the room don't correct them as they don't want to hurt their feelings.

Absolute humiliation for the Pentagon. Trump accidentally admits the multi billion dollar US Navy is completely paralyzed in the Strait of Hormuz. He confesses they are terrified that just a single Iranian missile will easily sink a billion dollar ship.

@FurkanGozukara But they blew up a bunch of really cool shit! Just ask Pete.

The most brutal reality check of the Iran war. A US Senator points out the absolute insanity of spending 2 billion dollars a day to reopen the Strait of Hormuz when it was already open before Trump started the war. They created a global crisis out of nothing.

@Acyn It's amazing watching them squirm realizing they can not lie their way out of this. Iran, like it or not still has a massive say in how it all ends.

Hegseth: This is not Iraq and Afghanistan. This is not a president interested in vague end states—he's been very clear with us about what we need to accomplish.

@Acyn No one, not one Fox News host thought of it.

Trump: Unexpectedly they started sending missiles to UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and elsewhere and nobody thought—were you equally surprised by that Pete?

@DonMiami3 It's the equivalent of a fighter that beats the shit out of the other fighter in the first round, is starting to gas and realises the other fighter has 14 more rounds in them. From here on out it's going to get harder every round and they want out.

Trump and Bessent are panicking. This is crazy

@wartranslated Right! Trump "won" the long range stealth bombing and the next part of the conflict that will likely cause serious casualties will be blamed on the Allies and Ukraine.

Trump says the US has won in Iran and claims its military has taken out Iran's navy, air force and air defenses. He added that the US can now move freely, and Iran is only disrupting shipping in the strait.

@Acyn Why do these grown, seemingly successful men kiss another man's ass like this. It's so weird.

Trump: He was my doctor and he said I'm the healthiest human being. Am I healthier than these guys back here? Jackson: Yes sir Trump: This is why I like him

@Daractenus All he's asking for is the allies do the part where their soldiers are potentially sitting ducks in a kill box from 3 sides and could be blamed when the escorts fail. What's the big deal?

Donald Trump is now again having a mental breakdown over NATO not providing the help he claims he does not need, in an offensive war of his choosing that he claims to have already won, after spending the past year threatening to invade and annex several NATO members.

@samstein @acoyne If the Americans could do that without royally screwing themselves in the process they'd already be gone.

On the Strait of Hormuz we've gone from: 1. Don't need help 2. We need help 3. Why aren't folks helping? 4. Helps on the way 5. Not telling you who is helping 6. Helps not actually on the way but we don't need it anyway 7. We may just abandon it and leave it to everyone else

@Acyn Incredible diplomacy. The Russians will be loving the Trump administration. Doing exactly what they need.

Sheehy: The Royal Navy used to be a great force for good in the world. Now, they are a rust bucket. They should be showing up to support this.

@BulwarkOnline He's already out. That message has been clear. At the same time he expects the NATO allies to buy equipment from the American Military Industries. The US having military bases in other countries financially benefits the US as well.

Q: "Are you rethinking the United States' relationship with NATO, possibly getting out?" Trump: "I'm disappointed in NATO…When they don't help us, it's certainly something that we should think about. I don't need Congress for that decision."

@Acyn He needs help but would rather make veiled threats and continue belittling allies then ask for it. Complete failure as a leader.

Reporter: What progress have you made in getting America's allies to assist the U.S. In escorting those oil tankers through the Strait of hormuz? Trump: We don't need any help actually….I think NATO’s making a very foolish mistake. We don’t need them but they should’ve been there.

@AmbJohnBolton Send in ground troops with you and everyone from Mara Lago and those you see in the Oval office leading the charge.

There is much more to do in Iran. Regime change has not been achieved. More must be done to incapacitate Iran's retaliatory strike capabilities.

@Acyn And the US military industry has made an absolute fortune "protecting" Allies.

Trump: I've always felt that was a weakness of NATO. We were going to protect them. But I always said, when in need, they won't protect us. And if we need their mine boats that they may have because of a situation that we have, they should be jumping to help us because we've helped them for years stay out of wars

@shanaka86 NATO countries just need to make sure this is a colossal political failure to Trump. If that happens they don't need to worry about his threats as he will finally be finished if gas prices remain high as MAGA doesn't support this war.

BREAKING: Trump is personally calling European allies and regional governments begging them to send warships to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Read that again. The President of the United States, commanding the most powerful navy in human history, is calling around asking for help to reopen a 21-mile waterway. That single fact tells you everything you need to know about how severe this crisis actually is. If the US could reopen Hormuz alone, it would have done so two weeks ago. It has not. The Navy confirmed on March 12 it is “not ready” for escort operations. Minesweeping assets were retired in 2025. Japan and Australia have already declined. Now Trump is demanding roughly seven countries send warships, framing it as reciprocity for US support in Ukraine, warning NATO faces a “very bad future” if allies refuse. No commitments have been received. Zero. And while heads of state negotiate who sends which frigate, the biological clock that governs whether four billion people eat next year is ticking toward deadlines that do not wait for coalition logistics. The Corn Belt needs nitrogen applied by mid-April. India needs Kharif season prep by May. Australia needs urea by June. These are not financial deadlines that reprice. They are photosynthetic deadlines that, once missed, lock in yield losses no subsequent intervention can reverse. The food the world eats in late 2026 and early 2027 is being decided right now, in fields, not in war rooms. Here is what the coalition talk actually means for markets: It confirms the crisis is real. Governments do not scramble multinational naval coalitions for temporary disruptions. It confirms the US cannot solve this alone. It confirms the timeline is months, not weeks. The 1987 Tanker War coalition took months to assemble and attacks continued throughout. The Red Sea crisis is 26 months old and premiums never normalized. Even if allies commit warships tomorrow, minesweeping a 21-mile corridor saturated with Iranian mines and drones while under active fire takes weeks of operational preparation before a single fertilizer vessel transits safely. The $20 billion DFC reinsurance backstop with Chubb has zero confirmed fertilizer vessel utilization. Insurance pays for loss. It does not clear mines. Meanwhile, the fertilizer system continues to fracture in real time. One-third of seaborne fertilizer trade passes through Hormuz per UNCTAD. Nearly 49% of traded urea is tied to conflict-exposed exporters. Bangladesh has shut five of six urea factories during its primary rice season. India asked China for emergency urea. China responded by banning phosphate exports through August. Egypt is hemorrhaging foreign reserves to feed 69 million people on a bread subsidy it cannot afford. 318 million people were at crisis-level hunger before any of this started. The market is pricing a 45-day disruption because it heard “Trump building coalition” and assumed resolution. The evidence says 90 to 150 days minimum. Coalition formation, escort logistics, minesweeping, insurance recalibration, vessel re-underwriting. Each step sequential. Each step taking weeks. The planting window closes in six. Trump’s phone calls are not the solution. They are the confirmation signal. The most powerful country on Earth just told you it cannot fix this alone. Believe it. The planting window does not care about your coalition. It is closing. Full crisis analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@20committee Never mind help. He wants the "allies" to do the part where there will almost guaranteed be casualties and damage/loss of war ships.

So, it turns out that when you publicly shit all over your closest allies -- calling them freeloaders, losers, weak, while casually threatening to destroy their economies with arbitrary tariffs that change weekly -- they don't come running when you beg for their help. Who knew?

@Osinttechnical Mine fields are also open and completely safe if you don't step on one.

Hegseth: “The only thing prohibiting transit in [Hormuz] right now is Iran shooting at shipping.” “It is open for transit should Iran not do that”

@saintjavelin It's almost like having a drunk Fox News host - "Alpha Bro" as Secretary of Defense was a horrible idea. Not sure anyone could have seen it coming...

Lord, save us
