It's likely that experienced generals are telling Hegseth his Iran war plans are unworkable, disastrous, and deadly. Also, Hegseth is firing a ton of experienced generals right now.

Irony. US Army chief, Gen George, rose from Private to distinguished 4-star rank, via West Point, only to be fired by a former National Guard Major who rose to cabinet rank via Fox News & Trump’s patronage.

TRUMP SAID YESTERDAY THAT (quote follows): “THE RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN ONE. Putin told me he never has any problems with his constitution.” — THAT’S A QUOTE, DAMN IT! “Russia has much better constitution writers than we do,” he said. “I talked to Putin, and he said their constitution never gives him problems.”

Pete Hegseth has fired twelve generals. Between them, five hundred years of military experience. Desert Storm. Iraq. Afghanistan. Gone. No reason given. In the middle of a war. These weren’t pen-pushers. They were the men who actually know what a ground invasion of Iran looks like. Perhaps they also know something else. That the man now running the Pentagon spent his career behind a Fox News desk rather than a command post. That his qualifications for managing the world’s most powerful military were, broadly speaking, strong opinions and good hair. Funny how they’re exactly the ones Hegseth just removed. Their replacements come with one qualification: complete loyalty to the vision. Five hundred years of hard-won, blood-soaked knowledge. Shown the door by a television presenter. What could possibly go wrong. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Absolute bombshell on CNN. A former federal prosecutor confirms AG Pam Bondi pulled agents off counter-terrorism to scour the Epstein files and redact Donald Trump's name. She orchestrated a massive cover-up to protect the President and obstruct justice.

Donald Trump cares so much about our troops that he foreclosed 10,000 military families out of their homes to save the federal government a little money. Why? Because Joe Biden made a plan to help them but Trump shut it down. npr.org/2026/04/02/nx-…

The U.S. is in a strategic catastrophe! The UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar, together with China, have begun negotiations with Iran, with China taking the lead. And Trump has announced that he is stepping aside. This means the dollar is screwed. China, as a mediator, will demand that the yuan become the currency for oil trade, and we can bury the dollar and declare a U.S. default in 15 years. )) It only seems like that’s far away. Just one incompetent person with six bankruptcies behind him managed to bring such a country to its knees in one year. (( Applause to those who voted for him!!!

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was … Marco Rubio.

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

“Trump has already broken NATO in so many ways. The United States is no longer trusted in Europe. Trump’s military threats against Canada and Denmark were clear, specific, and obvious violations of the North Atlantic Treaty. The damage is done.” thebulwark.com/p/liberation-d…

Trump: "We're gonna bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong". Keep in mind that an initial justification for the war was to "help" Iranians.

Terrifying revelation. A former DOJ attorney exposes that the Trump administration mass pardoned Jan 6 rioters with zero vetting. She found at least 22 pardoned individuals with horrific histories of child sexual abuse and domestic violence. Absolute insanity.

Here is one of Netanyahu's top minsters Itamar Ben-Gvir toasting the new Israeli law that empowers Israel to put to death Christians or Muslims who commit terrorism. But Jewish terrorists in West Bank will not be punished for murdering Christians and Muslims. This is what your tax dollars fund!

So Marco Rubio, the guy who wouldn’t be a US citizen without birthright citizenship because his parents were non-citizen immigrants when he was born in the US - is enabling a dictator trying to end birthright citizenship.

Trump's now bored with Iran. After having destroyed the US relationship with Saudi Arabia, leaving Middle Eastern cities open to constant Iranian drones attacks, burning through a decade of interceptor stockpiles, having turned Ukraine into the savior of Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi, Jordan and UAE and having removed Russia sanctions and doubled the price of oil, the moron President can now return to his previous role of looting the US economy and attacking Ukraine.

The bombs are still falling. But Washington has already lost. A former US military adviser said what most analysts are thinking: Trump’s war on Iran has alienated every ally America has left. Not some. All of them. Military victories can be measured in targets destroyed. This defeat cannot. It is happening in foreign ministries, in trade corridors, in quiet conversations between leaders who no longer trust Washington to behave like a serious country. The United States turned against its allies. The tariffs came first. Then the threats against Greenland. Then the abandonment of Ukraine. Now a unilateral war that nobody signed up for, followed by demands that everyone join in anyway. When you spend years burning bridges, do not be surprised when nobody comes to your war. The military result in Iran is still uncertain. The strategic result is not. America is alone. And it got there fast. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

If Trumps war in Iran leads to the end of NATO, it will go down in history of as one of the worst foreign policy decisions in American history ever. I hope Trump administration officials will work hard to avoid this disastrous outcome.

REP. GREG LANDSMAN: Trump waived sanctions on two Russian oil companies that have directly funded and facilitated the abduction and indoctrination of Ukrainian children. These companies are helping to steal children, and Trump is helping them make billions of dollars.

Former president of Romania, Traian Basescu: "Donald Trump is reaping exactly what he has sown. He showed contempt for Europeans, he demeaned us, questioned the very existence of NATO and wanted to invade and annex Greenland, a territory that belongs to the European Union. The rejection shown today by European leaders is aimed not at the United States, but straight at Donald Trump. He comes out of this conflict humiliated, the Hormuz strait is now blocked, he failed to achieve regime change, failed to secure the uranium and proved himself incapable of defending his own allies in the Middle East. All the US allies in the Gulf that saw themselves as protected by the US were struck by Iran almost at will, whenever Iran wanted, with the US being either unwilling or unable to defend them. So Mr. Trump comes out of this with a terrible record. He started this war having absolutely no idea what he was doing, and even now, I don’t think this man is aware of or understands what he has done. Yes, Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons, but the way Trump thought he could solve that problem is one that only a child could come up with. This man still doesn’t understand what he has done and continues to be arrogant when asking us for help instead of admitting his mistake."
