@DrEliDavid Its's easier than texting to a journalist, I guess.

How incompetent is the French military? A sailor on Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier just revealed its location by using a fitness tracker (Strava) while jogging on the ship's deck 🤣 Source: Le Monde

@bgbolger @WeTheBrandon There were massive protests in 2003. Look what happened.

@WeTheBrandon If Americans truly want to stop boots on the ground, they need to get feet on the streets now. Massive protests. If you can't manage that, don't complain after.

There is no doubt in my mind that Trump is readying to deploy Marines. We are going to have a ground incursion in as soon as two weeks.

@RetroCoast putting lettuce AND tomato on a burger. Seriously innovative!

Did the McDLT keep the "hot side hot and the cold side cold" Or the "cold side cold and the hot side hot?" #1980s

@CBoTheEggman Have we actually seen either of those two things?

Nobody fucking cares, you psychopath

@PuncheeBurro @ChrisFromGA68 almost as bad as Bernie. I don't know what folks see in her. Easily replaceable in MA. And no appeal outside of it.

@ChrisFromGA68 It's pathetic

Liz has the political instincts of a potted plant.

@BohuslavskaKate Trump literally said we have "unlimited ammunition" just last week.

Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.'" It looks like they’re just going to blame Ukraine whenever anything goes wrong now, doesn’t it? It’s depressing to watch because while this administration will eventually leave office, a segment of Americans will keep hating Ukraine without even remembering why.

@blankslate2017 Did the same thing with Brian Kemp relaxing the Covid restrictions earlier.

Classic Trump: he lets you hang yourself thinking he'll get your back, but he never does. He only judges the results. If it's bad for him, he'll run away from it and throw you under the bus.

@TheMindScourge assuming the world adapts. Don't assume this.

Hormuz is a weapon that can only be fired once No one should expect a quick resolution to the current crisis, but across the next decade, even the next 3-5 years, the choke point of Hormuz will be massively substituted for The Gulf Arab states are all very rich, with high per capita GDP - the best single measure of relative state capacity - easy access to global markets, especially financial, and have the favorable backing of the US Everyone has known about the Hormuz vulnerability for decades. The Iranians have continually hinted around closing it, but never did. Now they have, but Hormuz is a gun that cannot be reloaded. Deterrents work only up to the point of use. Once used, they have failed. The purpose of a deterrent is to *not* be used Many analysts have made this basic mistake. They think that Iran is now in a position of strength, having exercised its Hormuz option. But the opposite is true. A state is weakest after it has used its deterrent. The cost of that deterrence is now priced in. The worst having been done, the targets of the deterrent are now free to make other arrangements. Before, they were reluctant to do so because of the switching costs. Now, they have no choice; they will not allow themselves to be controlled in this way again Hormuz may never reopen. But the importance of this is a depreciating asset.

@SpencerHakimian again?

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP SAYS IRAN HAS NO MILITARY LEFT

@Arash_Sheriff @emilykschrader @piersmorgan something preceded all of this though. Still can't figure out what it is?

@SargonAlmighty @emilykschrader @piersmorgan It is what i said. Terrorist regime decided to attack all neighbours countries and closes straight of Hormuz and Europe decided to watch and moan rather than join the rescue army.

Trump is losing control of this war.

@Arash_Sheriff @emilykschrader @piersmorgan Oil prices weren't rising like this before something else happened and Europe was acting the same way. Wonder what it is?

@SargonAlmighty @emilykschrader @piersmorgan Europe countries not helping to get rid of terrorist regime. This drive the oil prices

@Smith4Gm @TheCinesthetic Yeah for sure. I think the thing about RW is it was so low budge v. the budget for Water World.

@SargonAlmighty @TheCinesthetic No, don’t hate it. Road Warrior was an absolute classic. A very high bar.

Waterworld (1995) is over-hated. Strip away the budget jokes and what’s left is a huge, strange, ambitious adventure packed with real stunts and a fully built world. It’s messy, but there’s way more movie there than people remember.

@Smith4Gm @TheCinesthetic without the best parts of RW though. I don't hate it though.

@TheCinesthetic Total knock off of Road Warrior.

@Clem_Hawk @JavierBlas an economic collapse would cause oil prices to plunge and they'd have massive layoffs.

@JavierBlas Why would they ? Higher prices mean they earn more $$, no?

US Vice President Vance plus other senior officials are meeting with the American oil industry today (at the API hq, rather than at the White House). It would be ironic if the US oil lobby was the one which put a brake on the White House's war campaign. I think that's likely.

@THE_47th That's an optimistic outcome, too.

It looks like Trump is just going to TACO in a couple of weeks. He'll announce that mission was accomplished, and show some vids and graphs to prove that his initial 4 goals have been achieved. Iran bloodied as hell but not dead, by default will claim victory as well. Everyone else will have to deal with an angry, hostile, failed & sanctioned to hell Iran in their hood. The regime will blame GCC for its miseries. Bcz that's all it can do.

@covie_93 a guy who wears make up, including on his hands, dances to YMCA, and has a weird combover, and never excelled at contact sports is an "alpha?"

Imagine how pathetic this grown ass man must be to look at trump and think "alpha".

@CBoTheEggman They keep escalating a war that's already been won. And isn't a war, its an excursion.

What good is that doing?

@Osint613 every day is the biggest day to come. Every day its "almost over" or "we've won."

JUST IN 🔴 Hegseth: "Today will be the largest strike package yet .…. death and destruction from above"

@AvivaKlompas shared it. It's probably not true though.

During a press briefing, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared this personal story: “My 13-year-old son came into my office and asked about the families I met at Dover. I told him: they died for you, so your generation doesn’t have to face a nuclear Iran.”

@CynicalPublius Trump has said on multiple occasions that we've already won.

Why do Democrats always want America’s military to fail in its assigned missions if a Republican is POTUS? I honestly do not understand this mentality.
