Iran is escalating attacks on its neighbors, betting it can ratchet up global economic pain faster than the Trump administration can relieve it with military force, according to an Iranian diplomat, two European diplomats and a senior Arab official. wapo.st/4cXBls5

@Nicksdankmemes3 @MassieforKY “AIPAC Eddie” WW3 and economic recession from wars for Israel is the much bigger concern right now. Cancel culture is thriving as “anti-semitism” from the Right owned by AIPAC.

Over a year into President Trump’s second stint in the White House, and overwhelmed with concern about the war with Iran, buyer’s remorse has set in for for some young Trump voters. “I feel betrayed,” said Joshua Byers, who voted for Trump in 2024. wapo.st/471RNDZ

@KOINNews @KOINNews pushing the narrative of "fear." All the KOIN stories are about people fearing something is going to happen and it would be bad. KOIN can't just tell you what's happening, they have to tell you how to feel about it. Garbage.

These fears have been fueled by news that the Pentagon is speeding up the deployment of thousands of additional Marines and sailors to the U.S. Central Command area, even as the president denied that he will be sending additional manpower. koin.com/news/gop-brace…

US-Israel nuclear trap Under immense global economic pressure and facing a domestic inflation crisis, President Trump,in coordination with Israel,made the fateful decision on March 21 to bomb the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz. Iran has interpreted this strike as a deliberate attempt by the coalition to trigger a catastrophic nuclear incident, a “shortcut” to victory through environmental and humanitarian disaster. This bombardment follows only days after a projectile struck the vicinity of the Bushehr reactor, sparking widespread protests. Yesterday, Iran retaliated with a heavy strike on Dimona, home to Israel’s most critical nuclear reactor. There is no doubt that the Iranian most modern arsenal, possesses some precision-guided missiles capable of striking Dimona reactor, and the reverse is equally true. We are witnessing a terrifying escalation, with both nations trading threats of triggering a nuclear incident. This is the definition of wartime insanity. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Iran has not been inspected for nearly nine months, more than enough time to have clandestinely developed a nuclear weapon. Technically, Iran is already an ambiguous nuclear power; it possesses the chemical material, the technology means, the timeframe, and at least 4 to 6 models of modern dual-capable missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads. What if this ends in a nuclear exchange? We must recognize the sheer madness this senseless war is driving us toward. At no point has the conflict de-escalated. On the contrary, the range and sophistication of Iranian missile launches continue to expand. The coalition’s munitions are running low, yet Iran keeps firing; The war is becoming prohibitively expensive; inflation is surging in U.S and in the world; Gulf nations face billion-dollar losses; Asian allies are undersupplied; the Strait remains blocked; and the bombings have failed to produce the desired effect, With falling war popularity and elections approaching for Trump, and Netanyahu seeking a judicial reprieve, the pressure is mounting. This pressure is fertile ground for nuclear escalation, the dangerous belief in a “magic bullet” that could end all problems in few hours. However, in Iran’s case, this may only invite a devastating retaliation from hardened silos using nuclear weapons that, at a basic level, could be assembled in a week. By targeting Natanz, the coalition has already violated Article 56 of the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, which forbids attacks on nuclear facilities, -Even militaries -, due to the risk of “releasing dangerous forces.” They are opening a nuclear door that is escalating faster than anticipated, and if not contained now, the fallout will be far greater than anyone predicted.

Trump threatens to obliterate Iran's energy facilities, and Iran warns it will retaliate by destroying Gulf States' energy and desalination plants - cutting off the access to water.

The war in Iran has nuked the fiction that the Right-wing podcasters and youtubers and Twitter personalities and content creators who turned against Trump wield any power. They are influencers without influence—on the President or his followers.

@MatthewPHoh @scotthortonshow I think of Israel giving Trump bad advice. I think of sacrificing American soldiers to excuse mass slaughter of Iranians to only benefit Israel.

When I think of Marines and paratroopers being sent to take Kharq island, or some other island or bit of Iranian coast, I think of the disastrous battle for Krynky in Ukraine in 2024. Ukrainian Marines were put on the far shore of the Dnieper for propaganda purposes with no hope of any success other than their presence for the cameras in Russian controlled territory. Unable to be effectively reinforced and supplied, unable to even evacuate their dead and wounded, they were massacred for months by Russian drones and artillery. That’s what I think of when I think of US Marines and paratroopers seizing Iranian islands.

I've noted many taking offense at my characterization of the 82nd airborne as a "light infantry division". That is exactly the right description. They are basically a "man-portable equipment only outfit". No heavy equipment. Maybe a handful of small artillery pieces. Also, although the division head count is about 18k, there is only a single Brigade Combat Team of ~4000 combat effectives at any given time. So that's what is being rushed to the Persian Gulf: 4000 lightly armed infantry with minimal vehicles, no armor, and just a few days supply of man-portable heavy firepower. So, 4400 Marines + 4000 Airborne troops -- 8400 light infantry soldiers sent to subdue an army with immense numbers; immense precision firepower; interior lines of supply and almost inexhaustible strategic depth. These 8400 light infantrymen would confront 5x - 10x their number, backed up by MLRS, tube artillery, and gazillions of mortars. Oh, and short range PGMs of all shapes and sizes. You think your A-10s and Apaches are going to scare 'em all away? No, they're gonna shoot down those archaic air frames and piss on the smoldering wreckage. It ain't the 1980s or 1990s any more. This will be big league war against a seriously powerful and tactically competent army. They will kill you comprehensively, with a powerful grudge to avenge. Your best bet is to not fight them at all. Go home to you families. Marry, raise children, live peaceably with your neighbors; beat your swords into ploughshares and learn war no more.
