Iran targeted Kuwaiti power and water plants

So umm the really bad stuff is well under way

Iow the war is going so bad that piggy won't allow images of the damage to be public

And they are lying about casualties

Planet Labs announces blackout on war on Iran images
The satellite imaging company has said it will indefinitely withhold visuals of Iran and the region of conflict in the Middle East to comply with a request from the Trump administration.

Piggy instituting censorship

Italy is now refusing refueling at their airports due to a lack of jet fuel, UK started that earlier this week.

Tomorrow? The next day?

Widespread war crimes as we attack Iran's energy infrastructure

Iran is going to respond?

I'd say likely.

Gulf states oil industry? We ------

I agree with Graham.
This verse in the Bible, written by King Solomon, absolutely says, "There is a time for war."
It is believed to have been written later in life, as he looked back on his experiences.
Solomon ruled over the twelve tribes of Israel.

This is an example of the evil of religious people.

My opinion? War is the sum of all evil.

"War is good" so sayeth the god that brings you pediatric cancer and schizophrenia

We're bombing Iranian psychiatric hospitals.

Many Iranian military leaders terminated' in massive' Tehran strike: Trump
In his latest Truth Social post, Trump has shared a video of night explosions in Iran's capital, accompanied by this text:

"Many of Iran's Military Leaders, who have led them poorly and unwisely, are terminated, along with much else, with this massive strike in Tehran!"

Yet Piggy expects Iran to negotiate with him

Reminder in the fall of 1980 Saddam Hussein invaded Iran (following the Islamic revolution) expecting little resistance due to widespread chaos.

He caused a lot of damage in the first weeks and then called for Iran to ceasefire.

Iran refused

Despite all of the damage, despite all of the disorder, despite their lack of prospects for resistance

They refused

Welcome to the new reality

Thanks magat scum

To be clear this is more glue in the escalation trap.

This is further cause for Piggy to not back out of the war, because of the troops!

The inevitable escalation ladder of these kinds of war.

Like losing planes and men to rescue a single airman.

The essence of the theme of Saving Private Ryan.

Meanwhile, in the past 24 hours or so Piggy asked for a 48-hour ceasefire AND threatened to blow Iran to Hell in 48 hours.

Meanwhile, meanwhile, we have hit the Iranian nuclear facility 4 times. Just begging for a Chernobyl like event.

Do these idiots not realize that will spread beyond the borders of Iran?

Thanks magat scum

And I must go back to those who brought us this man. the magat scum who voted for him.

Seriously, you had a choice between a normal human being and Piggy. Piggy is a convicted felon, he is the most obvious conman, he has a long, well recorded history of failure-both in business and in morality, he was adjudicated a rapist, he tried to overthrow the government, he OBVIOUSLY has no moral center, no guiding light other than gimme gimme gimme. He is a man child, he throws literal temper tantrums. He is stupid, like really stupid. He surrounds himself with sycophants-his cabinet meetings would put Kim Jung Il to shame in their asskissery or by evil people with hatefilled agendas, he is enacting the onerous Project 2025.

I simply do not understand how anyone would put their trust in this man. Even in 2016 it was clear, but by 2024 there was all of this public information about what he is.

Oh, but truthhurts, the price of eggs was through the roof, and there were lots of brown people and a trans person played in a sport.

You sold your souls and your future for THAT?

How are the prices going for you?

Are you aware that Biden and Congress came up with a workable solution to the immigration issue, a solution favored by republicans?

All you had to do was to choose the normal human being.

You MIGHT have been subjected to seeing someone's pronouns in an email, but you wouldn't be on the edge of a great depression, I can guarantee you that.

And don't act like no one told you this would happen. I did, many people did, it was screamed from the rooftops

But no

You had to chose the conman, felon, liar, rapist, insurrectionist.

Because of woke

You will pay for this choice for the rest of your lives. Your children will pay for it, your grandchildren will pay for it

Countless generations will pay for the destruction of the spirit of America

And YOU MAGAT SCUM, are to blame.

The stress is apparent enough with his fixation on the ballroom. It is reported that as the fronts collapsed around Berlin, Hitler often retreated to models of his future Berlin to relieve the stress he was under.

Piggy doesn't have Hitler's will power though. Piggy is a vacuous, moronic, ammoral ---- who believes is absolutely nothing. Unfortunately that makes him very dangerous.

You can see it in the visible breakdown of his mental capacities, his slurring of words, his reliance on simple repeated phrases, his simplification of concepts, his contradictions, his inability to present a coherent argument.

He has always had that problem, but that has been and will continue to get worse as the stress builds up on him. Strangely enough it will result in moments of honesty, like sincerely stating that the federal government "can't do childcare or healthcare" or when he admits he was surprised by actions Iran have taken that anyone and their mother knew they would take (like seizing the strait of hormuz). this is the picture of a man on the edge of insanity.

Expect very odd, even for Piggy, behavior moving forward.

It is amazing how quickly our country has fallen

Our president and the secretary of defense casually say we will and have committed war crimes.

We are waging an illegal war of aggression like it is nothing.

I said a month ago that you should pay close attention, that we are at the start of a seminal event in our history and that is playing out.

The world is in the process of restructuring itself. America is becoming a pariah. Our European allies are refusing us the use of their air space! That is unheard of.

Our president hasn't a plan, a goal or a clue. He is winging it. 2 to 3 weeks will become 2 to 3 weeks more and 2 to 3 weeks more

He dare not use ground forces, he can't walk away. We are on the slide to catastrophe.

And be clear Piggy is under a great deal of strain. He has come up against a group that for one reason or another will not compromise with him. He is so used to breaking ---- and walking away without consequences, he is truly stumped when he can't do that. He has not the moral fortitude to see it through. that is plan enough

And really, seriously, it is way past time to cut Israel loose.

They are

1. Committing a genocide
2. Waging wars of aggression
3. Committing war crimes
4. Committing atrocities
5. Targeting journalists, EMS workers, UN Peacekeepers and Lebanese soldiers
6. Stealing land from Palestinians, Lebanon and Syria

And they drug our stupid president into this war.

All on our dime btw.

It is crystal clear we need to repudiate Israel and reset our relations with them.

They will bring us down if we stay with them and they are acting despicably.

Meanwhile, Iran shoots down 2 of our aircraft.

Sort of putting to the lie that we have completely and utterly obliterated their air defenses. I guess we obliterated their air defenses like we obliterated their nuclear stuff

It fills me with alternating rage and depression that one man, one utterly damaged man is destroying the country I love, the world we live, my children's future, my retirement savings.

I truly despise magat scum for inflicting this on us

My feeling is we are dancing down the sharp edge of a knife toward oblivion.

Reportedly Piggy asked Iran for a 48 hour ceasefire

If that isn't a sign of victory I don't know what is

After 5 weeks into the war, can someone articulate our goals for this war?

2 to 3 weeks to further degrade Iran's military? Is that the aim?

Ok, what does that mean?

Do they expect Iran to just give up?

FWIW if you announce you will be finished with your bombing in 2 weeks, wouldn't Iran just hunker down for 2 weeks?

The whole world is seeing what is going on and they are disgusted.

A clueless, ignorant, man child has control of the world's "greatest" military and started a war without a plan or goals plunging the world into a nascent energy crisis.

He gives a speech that was insane, literally. the man gives a "serious" speech whose theme was "I am so great, aren't I great, we blow up stuff boom, 2 to 3 weeks"

This is insanity

The war is flagrantly illegal

Every bomb dropped is a war crime

I know, everywar my damned toe gets stepped on. Every single war!

Apparently a us plane shot down in Iran search and rescue underway in central iran

we had this conversation a month or so ago

The reason media trust is low is several fold

Primarily the actions of right wing propaganda machines incessant attack on truth, also media consolidation, also monetization of "news", also rise of social media. Those are the primary reasons.

Even jeff the known liar was able to admit that Fox was a big cause of the loss in trust.

The thread ended before the logical follow up question could be asked

Given the popularity of Fox News, shouldn't their lies and decades long war on truth be a primary reason for the loss of trust in the media?

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 ------ 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.

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.

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!

Who the f is his speech writer?

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.

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
