NOW - John Bolton on Trump's war on Iran: "This is Europe's war."

Tucker Carlson on Europe: There are people in the U.S. government who really hate Europe, and I don’t really understand why.

Sec of War Hegseth: "My 13 year old son popped into my office last night while I was editing these remarks. He asked about the war and the families I met at Dover. I looked at him and said, 'They died for you, son. So your generation doesn't have to deal with a nuclear Iran.'"

🚨 BOLTON WARNS EUROPE: THIS COULD BACKFIRE HARD John Bolton has just laid out a consequence European leaders may not have fully thought through. By dismissing Iran as “not our war”, Europe may be triggering something far bigger. Because the response from Donald Trump is predictable: “Then Ukraine isn’t our war either.” That’s the strategic risk. For years, Europe has leaned heavily on American: Military support Financial backing Security guarantees Particularly in Ukraine. But alliances are reciprocal. If Europe chooses to step back when the U.S. faces a major geopolitical confrontation… It opens the door for Washington to do the same. And that changes everything. Bolton’s warning cuts to the core of alliance politics: You don’t get to pick when solidarity applies. Because once that precedent is set… NATO cohesion fractures Support for Ukraine becomes uncertain And the entire Western alliance enters a new phase of transactional relationships Europe may think it’s avoiding escalation. But in reality, it may be inviting a strategic reset — one that leaves it far more exposed than before. The question now is whether European leaders recognise the gamble they’re making… Before the consequences arrive.

About to start Blood Meridian for the first time. Give me all your best advice.

Trump masterfully made Strait of Hormuz "somebody else's problem". US oil is at $100, while Asia oil (dependent on Hormuz) is at $150. Want Hormuz opened? Send ships to help. Otherwise, f*ck off and suffer.

Is there any way to save the Iran situation? It seems to be spiraling out of control. We need men of highest caliber to advise POTUS on how to clean up this mess before it gets worse. It’s time to face reality.

it's staggering to me that this kind of callous, shallow recklessness is legal

Gangster move to blow up Iran, leave, and let our useless Europoor "allies" deal with a crisis of their own making. Enjoy skyrocketing energy bills, retards!

Vance says Americans should find comfort in the fact that our allies are "suffering more than we are" from high gas prices
