    "These strikes are part of Operation Hawkeye Strike, which was launched and announced on 19 Dec 2025, at the direction of President Trumpf, in direct response to the deadly ISIS attack on US and Syrian forces in Palmyra, Syria, on 13 Dec 2025. That ambush, carried out by an ISIS terrorist, resulted in the tragic deaths of two American soldiers and one US civilian interpreter.

    The strikes today targeted ISIS throughout Syria as part of our ongoing commitment to root out Islamic terrorism against our warfighters, prevent future attacks, and protect American and partner forces in the region. US and coalition forces remain resolute in pursuing terrorists who seek to harm the US."


    In 2025, Dummkopf Trumpf hosted the Sunni Muslim guerrilla who overthrew Alevi Muslim President Bashar al-Assad of Syria at the White House:

    Asked what President Ahmed al Sharaa was like following their meeting, Trumpf declared: "Great. A young, attractive guy ... a tough guy."

    According to open source reporting, an estimated 2,500 ISIS fighters are operating in Syria. USCENTCOM claimed they captured or killed 25 ISIS operatives since Operation Hawkeye Strike began. There are no reports of any casualties from this expensive attack using 90 "precise munitions" on 35 ISIS sites in Deir Ezzor Governorate. Prima facie, this costly attack did not degrade ISIS capabilities one whit.

    On Christmas Day 2025, Dummkopf Trumpf ordered the illegal bombing of Muslim targets in Nigeria, bewildering the people in this remote rural area.

    Recently, three Turkish National Police (TNP) officers were killed conducting anti-ISIS operations south of Istanbul. Several Daesh recruits were rendered ineffective by Turkish security forces. Link: drudge.com

    The Economist.com and Pope Leo XIV wee correct in their prognostications that 2026 will be the "Year of Mars," thanks to 'Vladimir Netanyahu Trumpf.'

    Finished Death in a Pot by Morton Satin, The Day Lincoln was Shot by Jim Bishop, and I just re-read The Tragedy of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe.


    Reading the excellent works of Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, you see how much greater William Shakespeare was, because those two were brilliant in their own right.

    The Difference:

    The Immortal Bard, who did not attend university like Christopher Marlowe, synthesized history with current events, used ciphers and double-entendres in his writing, invented names (e.g. 'Abigail'), and crafted lines still quoted today. Very few people, if any, quote Christopher Marlowe or Ben Jonson (who also did not receive higher formal education).

    There are more facets to this analysis, but this is a political blog, so I'll exeunt stage LEFT (of course).
