@EricLDaugh If you factor in his rate of roughly 30,000 false statements per year in office, maybe hold the confetti until there’s a signed deal.

Want to laugh? I defy you to listen to this litany of good-natured insults and not crack up several times ...

German investments in Ukrainian drone company will provide 15k interceptors to the National Guard of Ukraine. The funds will help increase drone production, and any surplus drones could be exported once Ukrainian needs are met. Building EU defence capability together. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦

@thejackhopkins I think he's stalling until he can put boots on the ground. The Marine Expeditionary Force and the 82nd Airborne, are in theater or will soon be. He loves violence as long as he's protected from it.

Donald is lost. He is terrified. And, in terms of what he believed would happen…he’s getting his sloppy old ass kicked…and as a result…American service members are needlessly dying.

It’s a weird day in America when people instinctively believe Iran over the President of the United States because we all know he couldn’t tell the truth to save his life. War isn’t a game. Lying to manipulate markets while sending troops into war is morally bankrupt

Sleep well. We need our rest while we can.

Haha, it's great that we're all waiting to see if the sitting President of the United States destroys the global economy tomorrow for no reason, right? This is fun. Love the suspense of all our lives hanging in the balance on the whims of an unstable, raging narcissist.

There is a GAPING HOLE in national weekend news. GAPING.

Let’s be honest about the résumé here. The United States has not won a war since 1945. Korea: stalemate. Vietnam: fled. Iraq: created ISIS. Afghanistan: handed the keys back to the Taliban after twenty years and a few trillion dollars. That is not a winning streak. That is a participation trophy collection of weaknesses. Oh, and 1945? They needed a formal invitation. Germany declared war on America. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. The US did not ride in on principle – it got dragged in because refusing would have looked embarrassing. Three years of sitting it out while Britain bled, Canada crossed oceans, and the rest of the Allies held the line. By the time American boots hit Normandy, the back of the Wehrmacht had already been broken on the Eastern Front by the Soviets at a cost of twenty million lives. The US arrived at a table that others had set, ate well, then spent the next eighty years telling everyone they won the dinner. So yes. Keep the lectures about European dependency coming. Just maybe check the scorecard first.

@Microinteracti1 This is why I follow you! This article is fascinating. Thank you!

Damn, they figured it out.

The air in America had that thick, waiting feel—like the quiet before the clown shows his teeth under Derry. DEAR MAGA: You bought the shiny promises. No more wars. Lower prices. America First. You pulled the lever in the dark, grinning like kids at a carnival, and handed the keys to a sociopath who’ll never have to smile for the voters again. Fools? Oh yes. But the real horror, Constant Reader? That’s when the mask slips off, and the thing underneath finally stops pretending. Sleep tight. The night’s just getting started.

BREAKING BREAKING 🔴🔴🔴 Trump: If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

@SecScottBessent So, basically, remove sanctions on Russia, remove sanctions on Iranian oil, send 5000 troops into harm's way, ask Congress for another 200 billion, keep the same regime in place, and recover none of the 60% enriched uranium. Oh, and bomb a girl's school, killing 170. Nice job!

This is the direct outcome of a campaign that lacked coherent strategic planning — one that relied on an overestimation of airpower and a dangerous underestimation of Iran’s military capabilities and leadership. While there have undoubtedly been operational achievements, the broader strategic reality vis-à-vis Iran is far from improved — and may, in fact, be worse than it was before the conflict. The Strait of Hormuz is a clear example. Underestimating Iran’s ability to leverage its geographic position reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what a confrontation with Iran actually entails — especially when it comes to global energy security. The permissions granted for Iranian oil exports appear to be a direct consequence of flawed planning, limited strategic foresight, and a failure to fully grasp the second- and third-order effects of this campaign. #iran

Mr President, Do not! Please! Do not put a detachment ashore in Iran. Every wargame ends badly for the invasion force, Iran’s civilians, and the world's economy. It is a quagmire without end. Call victory and leave.

@JonnyCapitalist @YourAnonCentral I certainly agree with that statement. Twenty-one miles wide is nothing for a drone!

@rons47 @YourAnonCentral The problem isn’t how wide it is at its narrowest, it is the fact that Iran has plenty cheap firepower to sink anything that goes thru it from their side due to sheer geographic advantages..and they prepared for this by digging into those mountains next to the strait for decades.

The idea being floated around by Trump circles is that sending a small contingent of US troops only to Iran’s shores will reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Also the shores in question…
