NYT: Trump has said that the war has ushered in "regime change" and that the new leaders are "much more reasonable." In reality, the Islamic republic has not been toppled. Power is now in the hands of an entrenched, hard-line military. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/w ...

It's been apparent that the Trump regime is in over their heads since this "excursion" started. Or are they? Trump couldn't possibly have helped Putin more, without making it even more blatantly obvious.

*** Dummkopf Trumpf is All-at-Sea Over his Idiotic War Against Iran on Behalf of Wealthy Israel ***

"I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine sweepers' are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level! Thank you for your attention to this matter. DUMMKOPF J. TRUMPF"

The U.S. military is in complete disarray, leadership has been decimated and "the mission" is the whims of an octagenarian madman.

The first casualty in any war is the truth.

If we are lucky we may find out what really happened later. Sometimes much later. Sometimes never.
