There’s a lot of noise right now about Venezuela, airspace gaps, power outages, and covert operations and most of it is speculation. Serious analysis starts with one principle: Watch posture, not rumors. If the United States were shifting toward real action, you’d see it in predictable places: • ISR density • naval spacing • logistics staging • air defense behavior • diplomatic signaling Those patterns always appear before anything kinetic. And if corruption, mismanagement, or weak oversight are driving instability in the region, that matters too, because bad governance invites crisis long before military forces do. Calm evaluation, not excitement, is what keeps people grounded when headlines start shaking. Professionals track the indicators. Everyone else chases the noise.

Politics is about choice and those patriot batteries protect American servicemembers and American interest. But this post ask the question, why? Why should America defend Ukraine over its own, what makes Ukraine’s freedom more important than that of the Iranian people? Or you could ask, is Ukraine a European problem or an American problem and if the latter why? Or why do/did EU countries continue to buy Russian gas/oil even as they attacked Ukraine, is this not funding Russia’s war machine? In the end, it’s easy to point the finger and say America failed, but France, Germany, Canada, And others made a political choice as well, they chose to distance themselves from our conservative government in hopes that American’s would turn on our government in favor of the EU or maybe even encourage a change but in the interim Americans see through the gamesmanship, through the political power grabs of the different European leaders and many now say no more, no more hard work and tax dollars going everywhere but to Americans. So in some way Ukraine and how it was handled awoke the American electorate to say no more. Makes you think, is politics and political parties what the world needs or is it time to figure out a new way to engage and grow our nations and lands?

In its new war 🇺🇸 is using hundreds and hundreds of Patriot missiles that could have been used defending the cities of 🇺🇦. Politics is about choices.

🙋‍♀️Hello - Iranian here. For those fixated on 'legality' to excuse the regime in Iran - F*ck You. No, I will not let you be my voice. You don't get to narrate my story, you don't get to claim moral superiority. You don't get to tell me my feelings are wrong. Is it legal to throw women in prison for strands of hair? Is it legal to mass execute people? Is it legal to turn a fertile land into a parched desert? Is it legal to rape? Is it legal to shoot innocent people? Is it legal to kill children? Is it legal to torture people to death? Is it legal to spread terrorism? Is it legal to deprive people of a livelihood? Is it legal to shoot people in the eye to blind them? Is it legal to silence people and take away all of their human rights? Is it legal to shoot down a passenger plane? Is it legal to drive millions to leave their country? Is it legal to jail women for singing and dancing? Is it legal to disappear people including children? You will never experience anything like Iranians have experienced for the last 47 years. Iranians have fought barehanded and they've paid a price. All up to 1,000,000 (one million) Iranians have been murdered since the regime came to power. Your books on 'civil disobedience' and 'collective protest' are useless against an armed opposition that is ideologically driven and will kill all that stand in its way. You want legality? The world has a duty to protect innocent lives. It's enshrined in R2P. Some people seem to think Iranians aren't humans. The murder, genocide and massacre of Iranians receives scant media attention - hence scant sympathy. Those who proclaim to care about 'human rights' must think Iranians are animals and not worthy. Their hatred of Israel and US is so great they've lost all perspective. Yes, Iranians are happy. They're happy someone took out Ali Khamenei and many others directly responsible for so much pain and agony. And you know what? We're unashamedly hopeful that with the help of the world's superpower, we can reclaim our country and build a better tomorrow. We know there's a long way to go, but give us this brief moment of reprieve, because daily we sit and try to tell the story of the lives lost, those at risk of execution, those under torture. We've seen the pictures and videos of massacres taking place. Our dance and happiness comes with a heavy weight. We do so, in knowledge of the many who never lived to see this day. The day of freedom will come to Iran, it's glorious - and we're not sorry if some outside help contributed to making that happen. So don't speak on my behalf and stop excusing this regime on grounds of 'anti-colonialism'. and 'anti-Zionism'. #Iran

This says it all

He was right and I agree with that statement but I also am realistic, I understand that we shouldn’t be in a long drawn out war and that’s not what this will be we hope, this should be precision strikes designed to diminish the Iranian regimes ability to wage terror on us or our allies in the Middle East. And, if he’s successful (which he’s not off to a bad start) this will be over in several weeks leaving the iranian people the ability to reshape their country and how they engage with the rest if the world including the reduction of violence throughout the region and world.

@FederalistIII @MassieforKY This guy used to agree with me

I’m not the only Republican who campaigned on putting America First, I’m just the one who’s keeping his word. The Israeli lobby has spent $5 million against me because I don’t support sending our troops to fight their war. Please help me put America 1st secure.thomasmassie.com/donate

First I haven’t opened my big 👄, I’ve been typing with my big fingers… second we have common ground, you saved us and we saved you… as for what is owned and what was taken, let’s leave that for another time! I don’t wish to argue with you, you’ve got good backbone and are proud of your country, I can honor that. I still disagree with you, but maybe we can find common ground at some point to have a better conversation. I wish you the best and may god watch over you. This is not me giving in, just taking a moment to appreciate your stubbornness…

@FederalistIII @lorddrey Before you open your big mouth... Start by paying us back what you owe us!!... We don't take what isn't ours!... We live on our land ! It belongs to us! We haven't stolen anyone's land !!.. Ill-gotten gains never prosper...

Just In: France has refused to join the US and Isreal into conflict with Iran. France is the most based western country right now. Respect to Macron

@MareCdr @lorddrey A. I don’t have to shut up. B. There would be no France without the USA, who saved your country when your own people fled. C. Worry about your own fascist President before you talk shit about ours you frog!

@FederalistIII @lorddrey When U have a sex offender, a criminal, a thug, a corrupt individual, a convicted felon, a liar at the head of your country and a scumbag administration U have to shut up ! Here, pedophiles, sex offenders, & corrupt individuals go to jail. Take care of your home & leave us alone

@IsabelM31530319 @jamie_raskin Every Democrat who sat by as Clinton, Obama, and Biden attacked countries, dropped bombs and sent the worlds biggest supporter of terrorism $1-Billion+ cash on pallets to Iran to build back their terror army, weapons cache and missle/nuke program!!

Under our Constitution, the power to declare war belongs with the elected representatives of the people in Congress—not with any one man, no matter how wise or foolish, no matter how far-seeing or desperate he may be.

War has not been declared, nor less than 20 hours in has the President or anyone inferred a ground attack or anything else that suggest a long-term war. So as Obama, Clinton, Bush and Biden, the War Powers Act of 1973 covers this action and the President who has followed the legality of the War Powers Act, notified the gang of 8 multiple times and he know has 60-days and 30-additional days to wind down operations unless he goes to Congress for more time. So each and all democrats crying war are knowingly misleading the American people for political gain. This misinformation leads to placing military personnel in harms way and further their shut down of DHS puts Americans in jeopardy but as we’ve seen they’re happy to sit on their hands when it comes to the safety of American citizens over illegals and terrorist.

Anna, they didn’t vote to make Israel great again but the Iranian regime has killed more Americans than any other country. And they don’t want to stop funding their proxies, they’ve been sending weapons to Russia, oil to China and Russia and we don’t live in a world where the oceans protect us from evil anymore. Having served, the last thing any American and most importantly our representatives is a call to stop a combat action that is succeeding while it’s happening, what America needs is representatives that support our actions and work with the administration to deal with this terrorist regime and deal with what happens in a professional manner. Massie has failed to do that and when he leads with me and Ro, it calls out his actions and party allegiance. Trust me I’m not against him if he wants to be a Democrat but Fetterman is a great example of a patriot and Democrat, and unfortunately for Massie, Fetterman makes him look like an unpatriotic fool.

@FederalistIII @MassieforKY He only votes with Democrats when the Republicans aren't voting for the US people. They didn't campaign on "make Israel great again" did they??

@SpeakerJohnson don’t call Congress into session, these people have no clue what they’re doing, they don’t care about the American people and they just prove that sitting down for Americans is all they care about. Now Iran is done, the regime is gone and peace is near in the Middle East, don’t let this rat and his party to obstruct and interfere and if anything they need to fund DHS now!! If anything happens because DHS is being hampered the democrats, Americans should sue for reparations due to their obstruction!

The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war because the Framers insisted that the representatives of the people weigh all the vast implications. But now, desperate to distract from the spectacular failure of his illegal tariffs, the Epstein files, and spiraling inflation, the president who campaigned on keeping us out of regime-change ‘forever wars,’ like Iraq and Afghanistan, just launched unilateral military strikes against Iran without any Congressional declaration of war. Speaker Johnson must call us into session for a vote immediately.

@RepJerryNadler Go back to sleep, you missed the whole day… or just go eat as much as you can…

Overnight, Trump started an illegal war without approval from Congress and against the wishes of the American people. This war will bring needless death and destruction – risking American lives and civilian casualties. Congress must bring up a War Powers resolution immediately.

Danny sometimes silence is golden… just like the Ayatollah, you’re not hearing a peep out of him, why is that, well other than he’s dead, but maybe because Israel and the US are now getting support from the rest of the Middle East countries… No hard feelings, maybe if you take this post down people won’t see what a door you are…

Iran has already made history. By responding to US-Israeli aggression as swiftly as it has, it ripped the mask off US-Israeli exceptionalism in a matter of hours. Iran was ready for the attack. It had a plan. It has just begun executing it and has already landed strikes on several US bases. And it didn't have to injure or kill a single civilian adult or child in the process. One of Israel's strikes on a school killed 49 CHILDREN in Iran. That's not power, that's desperation. The US & Israel know they cannot subdue the Iranian people. So they are opting for maximum cruelty to pressure them to bow down to their dictates. Historic miscalculation. And already a historic defeat for the imperialist monsters in Tel Aviv and Washington.

Hateful Kait! This isn’t a war, this isn’t even an action, it’s a strike on a terrorist regime and will be over in less than a week. But CNN and Hateful Kait, want Americans to think this is a boots on the ground war, that this is different than what Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden did. Hateful’s job is to get the left reelected and propagandist for the left are in great demand these days…

Do you believe this is a war? Amb. Rahm Emanuel: "When you call for regime change, it is not a military action. It is a war. Congress should be on record. Every member, all 435 members of the House, all 100 members of the Senate. Make a decision. Put your name on there, yes or no."

David why don’t you march down to your nearest recruiting station and put your Money where your mouth is. If you want to lead someday, there’s no better place to learn.. But we know you won’t just like the party that fired you, when it comes to America and Americans you’ll just take a seat…

You know I think if we had more members of Congress who were more likely to be drafted than to be sent to a nursing home we’d be a hell of a lot less likely to send our young men to go die in a new war in the Middle East.

CBS has an opportunity to post a statement and they post a failed VP comments rather than the news that is happening, what CBS did is they said the quiet part out loud. They are not a serious news outlet but a propaganda machine for one political party and ideology designed to destroy our country.

In a statement to CBS News, former Vice President Kamala Harris called the major military operation against Iran early Saturday by the U.S. and Israel a “dangerous and unnecessary gamble with American lives.” Full statement: “Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. This is a dangerous and unnecessary gamble with American lives that also jeopardizes stability in the region and our standing in the world. What we are witnessing is not strength. It is recklessness dressed up as resolve. I know the threat that Iran poses, and they must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, but this is not the way to dismantle that threat. During the campaign, Donald Trump promised to end wars rather than start them. It was a lie. Then last year, he said “we obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program. That, too, was a lie. And let us all be clear-eyed about what comes next. The President has already said this conflict may produce American casualties. Doug and I will be praying for all of our brave servicemen and women, who we know are undertaking dangerous missions with exceptional skill, discipline, and precision. Our troops deserve a Commander-in-Chief who approaches decisions on matters of war and peace with the same steadiness and discipline our troops show every day. Under the Constitution of the United States, the President must receive authorization from Congress to enter a war. But even if he had, that does not change the fact this action is unwise, unjustified, and not supported by the American people. There can be no equivocation in our opposition to Donald Trump’s war of choice, and Congress must use all available power to prevent him from further committing us to this conflict. Our troops, our allies, and the American people deserve nothing less.”

Brad have you ever served? There are plenty here who have and understand that sometimes doing what’s hard, what’s dangerous is needed so that peace can grow. Not saying that because that’s what’s wanted but because freedom isn’t free and in this case, the Iranian regime has killed thousands and although not ideal, this is the best response and as we hear of the end of the regime and the death of Khamenei and 40 top leaders, this may give the Iranian people and the Middle East the peace it needs to grow. So in this case, your comments are truly what’s expected from a party that puts others, votes, and money ahead of Country, Americans and freedom.

Trump just struck Iran. All the MAGA warriors cheering for war put the flags down and head to the nearest recruiting office. Wars aren’t fought with tweets. They’re fought with your sons. Your daughters. Your families. If you want it …own it.

@grahamformaine @SenSusanCollins @SenFettermanPA Correction, Maine not Main…apologies for the error

@grahamformaine @SenSusanCollins @SenFettermanPA Main is going the way of Washington, Massachusetts. Virginia, California, and other blue states. What a shame…

A man who has never seen war and never will, cheering this on from a comfortable perch in Washington. Every Senator who fails to stop this war should lose their seat, starting with @SenSusanCollins and @SenFettermanPA.

The democrats are regurgitating the same bs over and over, they’re more focused on messaging hate than supporting their military and country in a time of concern. The 47th President has ended one of the worst regimes in history, responsible for the deaths of thousands including hundreads of Americans but all the democrats are concerned about is punishing our President at this time. Take a seat, it’s what democrats do best!!

Rep. Ansari Statement on United States Attack on Iran.

The Iranian regime ends 47-years after it began its reign of terror and karma came from the 47th President of the United States!!
