Listen to Canadian doctor Ben Thompson: A doctor in Gaza was forced to strip naked &stand for days by the IDF, urinating & on himself. He was then only permitted to treat his patients while naked. They commit war crimes every hour of every day, demonic

@WilliamShatner A belated Happy Birthday to you,Mr. Shatner🎂🎁🍾😊

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝 I’ve learned two things: Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

From the 1956 Suez Crisis to the Hormuz Crisis; Repeating History from Hungary to Taiwan Seventy years ago, the Soviet intervention in Hungary coincided with the British Empire’s intervention in Suez in 1956. Today, there is a similar geopolitical parallel between Hormuz and Taiwan.

@CatherineUNIT2 @pati_marins64 I've heard worse scenarios than vacating the M.E. There are other,safer,more stable sources for petroleum. And that region is an unstable insane asylum. Plus,the West shouldn't be helping Netanyahu in his vicious quest for a "greater Israel". And those are HIS exact words...

@pati_marins64 @EdwardOReilly1 Word is we are vacating the ME bc our base infrastructure has been destroyed.

I’ve been paying close attention to these figures, but there’s another aspect to consider here. No commander believes they can occupy the islands or any coastal region for an extended period. The high troop count seems to me like a contingency for heavy casualties in this operation

@BaronDestructo Cobb - one tough dude. And a born survivor. Pretty good qualities for a Warrior👍

@pati_marins64 It certainly looks like Iran is planning for the long haul.But HOW long,one wonders.They know that they can't "win" in the conventional sense.Could they be counting on the North Vietnam scenario? Simply outwait and outlast their opponents? That took years,though...

Additional points indicating an Iranian lead: •Asking for Help: After a refusal from NATO countries, President Trump is asking other countries for help to secure the Strait of Hormuz, telling Gulf and asian nations they are the ones who need it most. •Rising Costs: The Secretary of Defense, who requested $50 billion last week, now asks for $200 billion. Total costs during 21 days (materials, munitions, and air ops) already exceed $100 billion, with $10-16 billion spent on munitions alone in the first four days. •Multi-front Attrition: Iran opens fire daily with drones and missiles on at least six-eight fronts, targeting U.S. bases and Israel incessantly for 22 days. •Depleted Stockpiles: A study by the Payne Institute regarding the first four days of the conflict, alongside recent media reports, indicates a current shortage of several types of precision-guided munitions and interceptors. This point is further corroborated by the fact that the U.S. has been forced to scavenge interceptors and complete defense systems from its Asian allies. •Economic Leverage: Iran is strangling the U.S. government through pressure from Gulf nations and Asian allies dependent on Hormuz. More importantly, it uses inflation to undermine support for the U.S. administration. An intelligence U.S report yesterday, stated Iran could keep Hormuz closed for six months. Iran has shown a solid strategy of gradual deployment of both technology and equipment, suggesting a more robust long-term strategy than the coalition’s. Having destroyed at least 10 radars and kept 7 U.S. bases under fire for 21 days, Iran still holds the power to close other strait whenever it wishes. The iranian retaliation and resilience have been so formidable that they have effectively paralyzed the decision-making of the Gulf States. These nations are unwilling to see their critical infrastructure leveled by a war instigated by Israel and the United State - a conflict where, given the current trajectory, the ultimate victor remains dangerously uncertain. For these reasons, as of March 22, Iran stands closer to victory than defeat. The U.S. government issues contradictory statements daily, revealing the profound vulnerability of any administration to inflation, particularly regarding fuel prices. This is, once again, an asymmetric war being won by undermining the internal support and economic foundations of a superpower.

Why Iran is Winning the War Beyond the Blast: Why Strategy, Not Firepower, is Winning the Day Asymmetric wars should not be analyzed through the lens of damage sustained, but rather by the objectives achieved. Vietnam was hit by 7.5 million tons of bombs and won the war. Afghanistan was struck by over 2 million tons of Soviet bombs and won. In the early 2000s, Afghanistan was again invaded and hit by over 200,000 tons of American bombs. Once again, it won, forcing a desperate U.S. withdrawal under the Taliban’s advance, leaving billions of dollars in equipment behind. Today, the Taliban still rule Afghanistan, just as the CPV, which won the war and unified the country, rules Vietnam. In the current war against Iran, three coalition objectives were clear: 1Dismantle the nuclear program. 2Topple the regime. 3Limit the missile program. 1. Dismantling the Nuclear Program 
Not only has it not been dismantled, but the coalition is unsure of its exact location. The IAEA states there is a new facility where material was moved, but cannot pinpoint where or if it is all in one place. Furthermore, while the North Korean leader routinely fires missiles into the sea, waging a “war against Godzilla”, -Netanyahu has been doing the same on the Israeli side, but dropping bombs on rocks, as if trying to kill “The Thing” from the Fantastic Four. The fact is, these facilities built with Iranian UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) can only be destroyed with “boots on the ground” and an invasion operation that the U.S. is currently unable to execute. While the future landscape may change, the dismantling effort has failed since 2025. 2. Toppling the Regime 
Israel not only had a plan for decapitation strikes but convinced the Americans that these assassinations and bombings would create the perfect atmosphere for an uprising. The plan failed. The sheer violence of the killings and bombings terrified the Iranians themselves. They even bombed the residences of regime opponents, suggesting they wanted to “clear the field” to handpick a successor. No uprising occurred. Instead, the Iranian government had a plan, establishing a chain of 4 to 7 successors for every key position. These attacks may have actually breathed new life into the Iranian theocracy. 3. Limiting the Missile Program 
On March 20, Bloomberg reported that Iran has already launched over 3,000 missiles. More importantly, Iran deployed HGVs (Hypersonic Glide Vehicles), technology only Russia and China possess, demonstrating surprising technological advancement. Also on the 20th, Iran surprised again by launching missiles at Diego Garcia, located nearly 4,000 km from its territory. The missile program has not been halted; on the contrary, it appears to be expanding.

The WAR Impasse and the Strategic Failure of the Coalition Twenty-three days into the war, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. With the American president issuing contradictory statements while facing constant pressure from the markets, Gulf nations, and Asian allies, President Trump is certainly not having peaceful days. But how can this impasse be resolved at a moment when Iran refuses to respond to negotiation attempts and continues its missile and drone campaign for 23 consecutive days? The US and Israel have already bombed a nuclear facility and launched a projectile dangerously close to an Iranian reactor; in short, they have exhausted every possible threat, yet Iran remains resilient. It is impossible to deny that the war is a failure: no objective has been achieved, except for increasing tensions between the Gulf states and Iran for decades to come. The truth is that Trump and Netanyahu have ignited a region that had finally found stability after many years of unrest. Today, there is a real risk of Gulf countries joining the airstrikes against Iran, which would result in a retaliation capable of devastating oil and gas infrastructure, triggering inflation and a supply crisis that could last several years.

This is how most American wars begin: with an expeditionary forcethat triggers subsequent waves, eventually culminating in broader public support. The problem is that in modern warfare, a poorly sheltered force like that would be annihilated almost instantly. There is no room for this type of operation anymore. Today, warfare evolves in a fundamentally different way, driven by the massive use of drones and the infiltration of small units over long timelines. WWII-style invasions are a thing of the past.

@pati_marins64 And,if this is truly his plan,we are dealing with bottomless evil here...

@pati_marins64 That's exactly what has been on my mind,and haunting my dreams,for the past several days. And nights. That these US troops are being offered up as a sacrificial lamb in order to enrage American public opinion against Iran.Allowimg Trump to cast himself as a vengeful wartime POTUS

@SachaRoytman 70,000 dead Gazans say hello...

Shocking footage from this evening of a ballistic missile striking the city of Dimona in southern Israel. Home to 40,000 residents, a direct hit on a civilian neighborhood is a war crime! I’m furious that world leaders still refuse to stand up and call out Iran. When Israel defends itself, every UN body goes crazy — cheered on by hypocritical Western nations.

Karma really exists 🥺🥺

St Petersburrg taxi driver started slapping a couple of teens on a pedestrian crossing. Big mistake.

@BaronDestructo Tyr. Intelligent,formidable,ruthless. Perhaps a bit TOO ruthless - a Kirk-Tyr dynamic would be VERY interesting. Two very strong characters going head to head. As played by Keith Hamilton Cobb,he was easily the most interesting character in "Andromeda"

Entire families with little children. This is who the Islamic regime in Iran fires missiles at. Israel is at war with the most evil subhumans on earth.

@EScrimshaw @beheshtialex A pity they both don't stay there
