Needless to say, I couldn't stomach more than a couple of minutes of that rambling mushbrain's rambling ------------ self-congratulations. But, from the little I heard and the response afterwards it was obviously nothing more than his Bleat Social tweets in front of a camera. Nothing new, nothing of substance

The war continues to go bad for America with no out in sight.

Piggy gives us his usual "in a couple of weeks" mantra. I suppose the war will end right after infrastructure week and the GOP health care plan.

Funny how he just bleats war crimes like their nothing-targeting civilian infrastructure, stealing Iran's oil, bragging about stealing Venezuela's oil.

In another timeline.....

Again, NO reason for war was given. No strategic objective verbalized.

Touting the destruction of Iran's non-existent air force and obsolete surface fleet is not going to make up for the ever increasing price at the gas station.

Did you see oil price skyrocket and DOW Futures tank during the speech?

The UK will be receiving its last tanker of jet fuel and will not permit airplanes to refuel at their airports.

S. Korea has started rationing.

Neither the UK or S. Korea wanted(s) this war.

Poor countries in East Asia and Africa are now without fuel for hospitals and schools.

It's always the poorest that pay the most for these wars.

5 Million People have been displaced.

Iran continues to hit oil tankers in gulf

Infrastructure throughout the Middle East is getting hit.

Be clear, the military targets being blown up-rockets, missiles, launchers, drones are far less than is being claimed by the US government and will EASILY be rebuilt or purchased from China and Russia. That part of the campaign is pointless.

Professor Pape (author of the escalation trap) is arguing that Iran will come out of this war as a 4th super power given they will control 20% of the world's oil. America will decline.

Giving up control of the Strait of Hormuz makes that inevitable. Iran will have dominance over it's ME neighbors.

JVL of the Bulwark had an interesting observation.

By Piggy calling for other countries to go seize the SoH and seize Iranian oil, Piggy is calling for groups of countries to actively unite in competition to America. That is rather an amazing fact. That America is saying ---- it to the rest of the world, like international relationships have no use.

Be perfectly clear. this war will rage on. the catastrophic events are just beginning and will magnify exponentially. Delays of fuel and fertilizer and other chemicals will have ripple effects that will blast across the world's economy. two weeks from now there will be massive, unsolvable problems emerging.

Again, a deep recession is a given, we are looking at a global depression.

BTW Piggy sounds extremely unwell, mentally and physically, his speech was rambling, incoherent and contradictory (the little I heard and gathered from observers). It is past time he be 25th Amendmented or out right impeached.

It is literally mind-blowing that Donald J. Trump will be the singular figure to cause the downfall of America and the world.d

If Piggy was a normal human being one could take comfort that a speech like this would mean ground troops would be less likely but since Piggy is not a normal human being, who knows.

In other words, this speech meant absolutely nothing. It will mean nothing tomorrow and a week from now it will mean nothing.

So, in reality it was a grab at getting through the day. Tomorrow it will be something different.

Of course, this is a 3 day weekend, so the markets will be off, so maybe ground forces assault on Friday

It would be nice of some active military personnel would push back against the flagrant war crimes Piggy is constantly touting.

Of course, EVERY SINGLE BOMB DROPPED IS A WAR CRIME.

President Piggy jumped whole heartedly into the war crimes blowing up the tallest bridge in Iran.

But nothing matters anymore

To be clear, Piggy thinks he is doing a GREAT job. He cannot conceive of why Iran is fighting back. He thinks he is the greatest commander in history

That is no exaggeration. He equates blowing up school children and trucks to be an achievement for history.

He does not understand the value of the Strait of Hormuz.

He doesn't understand the cliff we are roaring towards

Meanwhile, in reality Oil is trading at $115/barrel

And that is just the beginning

Been driving most of the day so I am not up to the minute on the battle stuff

Is firing top military personnel in the middle of a war a sign of winning?

Again, targeting bridges is a war crime.

Attempting to blast a country back to the stone age is a war crime (and never works)

Israel has passed an ethnic based criminal code. YAY for our ally!

The US war on education continues with the US bombing 600 schools in Iran

Oh and we did a double tap on that Iranian bridge, you know another war crime.

It is clear to anyone with any form of ethics that America and Israel are evil regimes.

To make sure our country suffers Piggy imposed a 100% tariff on imported drugs

A significant majority of brand-name prescription drugs sold in the U.S. are manufactured or finished abroad. According to PharmacyChecker.com and CIDRAP, about 67% of the top 100 brand-name drugs are produced in countries like Ireland, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and Canada, while only a third are finished in the U.S.

This is what you voted for magat scum, during a war, Piggy is placing a 100% tariff on the drugs you need to survive.

This man said the government should not, cannot do healthcare, childcare for its citizens. It can only fund wars

This is what you voted for.

Do you have any concept on how fucked we are?

America just seems to be plodding along like the sword of damocles isn't just above our collective heads

Republican in congress take a 2 week vacation instead of doing something.

Democrats in congress are, umm, doing what? I don't know, do you?

Meanwhile weeks more of war and oil is drying up.
