And we're told it's the other side that's a fanatical theocracy...

Another bullseye? #Trump #Panamá

Just walked out of a House Armed Services briefing on Iran. Let me repeat: I will not support troops on the ground in Iran, even more so after this briefing.

Breaking news: The Pentagon has ordered Army paratroopers to deploy to the Middle East, U.S. officials said, as President Trump weighs a significant escalation in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and declines to rule out putting U.S. troops on Iranian soil. wapo.st/3PX6ylw

Israel had a plan to spur a mass rebellion inside Iran, potentially bringing a swift end to the war. That hasn’t happened. nyti.ms/41rXPdz

NY Times has essentially confirmed that Israel played a role in stimulating the violent regime change riots that left around 3000 dead in Iran this January 8 and 9, but which were marketed in the West as pro-democracy protests. It was well understood by the Mossad that those riots would help stimulate military action by Trump. Israeli intel merely needed to convince the feeble-minded president that a wave of decapitation strikes would unleash a massive upheaval to immediately topple the Islamic Republic. The January riots were presented to Trump as a preview of what was to come. Western media, including the NY Times and The Guardian, played a central role in legitimizing Israel's deception by falsely characterizing the violent regime change riots as mere protests, massively inflating the death toll and covering up the fact that many were murdered by the Israel-backed rioters themselves The whole of Western media and the Western human rights industrial complex deliberately misrepresented the real character of those riots. But now that the war they helped to instigate is going badly for the US and Israel, that same media is now free to reveal a few kernels of truth.

Israel’s most highly decorated soldier confirms the points made by the intelligence community and military strategic planners already: - No military way to contain Iran for months on end - No military way to open up the Strait of Hormuz - Hamas and Hezbollah we’re beaten tactically but not strategically - Israel hasn’t abandoned its mowing the lawn approach, even if the mowing has become more intense

The utterly mad president of the US just shared a skit humiliating the British PM.

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of a Bronze Star, Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam? BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family WELKER: But is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen? BESSENT: Give what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he's been through WELKER: So you don't think there's anything wrong with a post saying, 'Good. Robert Mueller's dead'? BESSENT: We should have empathy for what's been done to the president and his family

Waging war on civilians will not bring US victory in this war. It will convince Iranians that this is not a war on the Islamic Republic but one that is aimed at destroying their country and their lives.

CNN reports Israel is dropping massive bombs directly on residential buildings in eastern Tehran. The blasts are so powerful they are leveling entire apartment blocks and severely damaging surrounding civilian neighborhoods. Absolute war crimes.

BREAKING: Keir Starmer sends Israel strongly worded apology after discovering missile attack on Diego Garcia came from an Israeli submarine 👀

Dozens of settlers said to raid multiple West Bank villages, torch buildings with Palestinians inside timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

The flattening of Gaza, the killing of tens of thousands of people - the elderly, women, children, the ongoing attacks on civilian infrastructure and residential buildings in Iran and Lebanon - all war crimes indeed. The definition of the term is universal, not specific.
