𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗣 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗖𝗘 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗨𝗭 According to Axios, a U.S. official revealed that Donald Trump is willing to take extreme measures to open the Strait of Hormuz. If necessary, he would even authorize seizing Kharg Island to achieve this goal. The recent American strike on Kharg was reportedly a warning aimed at pressuring Iran to reopen the strategic waterway, and the deployment of U.S. ground forces to occupy the island is under serious consideration. This would mean putting American boots on the ground in Iranian territory. However, Trump is gambling with American lives. Any attempt to seize Kharg would be met with fierce Iranian defense, likely resulting in heavy U.S. casualties while not being able to achieve his objectives. This reckless gamble could trigger a far broader and deadly confrontation than anticipated.

Yeah...when the Navy can't even get ships close enough to land & no airborne troop transport can approach w/out being shot down before reaching the drop point. I foresee complications.

❗️The Russian government has today submitted a bill to the State Duma that would give the President the power to deploy the Armed Forces abroad to protect Russian citizens who are arrested or persecuted under decisions of foreign courts or international bodies. The draft amends two federal laws: • “On Citizenship of the Russian Federation” • “On Defence” The key change to the “On Defence” law expands the list of legal grounds for using the military with weapons. It now includes protection of Russian nationals detained or prosecuted by foreign / international courts that Russia does not recognise. The decision to deploy would be taken personally by the President in accordance with federal legislation. The bill was prepared by the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation. - AussieCossackTG

Christian Zionist Pastor John Hagee is demanding that Christians send their hard-earned money to Israelis under attack during the war. He says it is their biblical duty to give, claiming that prophecy foretold Israel would be surrounded by its enemies in the last days. “This is a prophetic moment.”

Trump on why he agreed to attack Iran alongside Israel, “based on what Steve [Witkoff], Jared [Kushner] and Pete [Hegseth] were telling me, Marco [Rubio] also involved, I thought Iran would attack us.”

“Well, you’re lying, of course, and you’re producing propaganda. And I think increasingly Western media is just propaganda. Tens of thousands of people, that’s exactly what you and your regime have helped Israelis do in Gaza. Your drones were gathering intelligence throughout the entire period of the Gaza genocide. You’re responsible for a Holocaust. You’re partners in this Holocaust. So you need to deflect attention. You need to project onto the Iranians what you actually do. But why is it – if the Iranian regime, as you love to call it, and it makes you feel better – that the Iranian regime has millions of people supporting it on the streets every single day?”

Iranian Professor Marandi slams Western media: “You are responsible for a Holocaust.” “You are partners in this Holocaust. That’s why you must deflect attention — project onto Iranians the very crimes you commit.”

There’s a whole lotta people in the US barely surviving who no one gives a shit about, and no one’s really gonna give a shit about them when things get hard for everyone. We’ve been showing who we are for a long time. It’s ugly.

It’s just a weird sickness at some point, this level of greed. You have $200 billion dollars. You could wipe your ass with $100 bills and keep getting richer every day. Why kill thousands and thousands of jobs at this point?

🚨BREAKING Bloomberg reveals that 16 U.S. fighter jets have been destroyed so far in the war against Iran.

🚨🚨 NEWS ABOUT THE ONE PIECE ANIME REMAKE FROM THE CEO OF WIT STUDIO! George Wada: “The reason we decided to produce a remake of the One Piece anime comes from a reflection by the author, Eiichiro Oda. He pointed out that the work has become very long and rich in detail, and since it began a long time ago, the new generation—used to modern productions—does not necessarily feel the same enthusiasm toward the older animation. He felt a certain regret about this and wanted younger audiences to be able to discover and follow the story. This motivated me to recreate this legendary tale using modern techniques, adapted to today’s audience. The goal is to use modern animation technologies to bring the work back to life and make it accessible to a new generation of fans around the world. Our studio is not just remaking panels—this remake will be dense and impactful, without unnecessary stretching. It will combine visual enjoyment, strong storytelling, and flawless pacing. During its original broadcast, the series aired on Sunday mornings at 8 a.m., which is considered a children’s time slot. At Wit Studio, we are proud to produce remarkable works such as Attack on Titan, Spy x Family, and Vinland Saga. These are very distinctive creations. We want to approach One Piece with the same strength and level of quality, while fully respecting Toei Animation and their remarkable work. The greatest challenge in creating a work like One Piece lies in the vastness of its fanbase and in surpassing their expectations. Over the years, fans have built their own vision of the story, and we want to create something that goes beyond that imagination. 🔥 The most important thing is to understand what the original author, Eiichiro Oda, wants, and to find the best way to present what he wishes to show or express. By collaborating with him, we will achieve the final result. This work is very dear to Oda, and he knows it better than anyone—his vision will guide us. With Netflix, we now realize that our works are followed worldwide. We are no longer just competing within the Japanese market—we are competing with global giants like Hollywood and Disney.”

American logs into her federal student aid account so we can see her actual loans and payments - She took out a $49,548.74 loan - She’s made 120 payments, paying $25,558.36 - Her current balance is $50,121.33 So after paying $25,558.36, she now owes more than she took out “It's all such a scam”

The only thing more disgusting then war are the fuckers who profit from it

Recalling the video of the aircraft reveal party for U.S. Airforce pilots. How they rejoiced, lusting to kill and destroy. F-35 pilots now know that they are detectable. Trackable. Targets. Never again can they bomb invisibly. May every one of them be struck. May they burn.

@AngelicaOung 😂😂😂😂😂 Seriously, why did she even go into politics at all if she was only going to humiliate herself & Japan in the most public manner possible?

Whoahhhh ANNNDDDD her approval rating just slipped by a couple of points again…

She has the mannerisms of a Mamasan, not a leader

No one in history was ever eager to do anything like the Houthis are eager to fight the US and Saudi Arabia. They can barely contain themselves. I bet Iran is begging them every day: not yet, not yet, wahyat Allah, not yet, and the Houthis be like: wallahi, one more day and that's it. Tomorrow we bomb everyone

China & Russia also decide who gets what resources, & have demonstrated their willingness to cut the U.S. & its vassals off from fuel & raw materials w/ which to replenish the imperial war machine. Logistics trumps shock-&-awe, every time.

If the Houthis block passage through the Red Sea, then the global fuel crisis truly kicks into overdrive. No matter how powerful you think you are, if you can't resupply, or replenish those weapons used up in battle, you can't maintain the campaign. This is Iran's strategy.
