Hegseth will promise him that Iran will immediately bow down and worship Trump while giving him their uranium, their oil, and the right to choose their leaders. What a bunch of idiots spending billions more to obliterate a country that did not attack us. I'd like to see a plan for ending the war now, not continuing it. Trump and Hegseth know that they both look like fools for ignoring the consequences of starting this war so now they need to spend even more billions to avoid showing the world how incompetent they are.

When you are in a hole stop digging. All these problems with Iran, the Strait, our military
under attack, Israel invading Lebanon, Iran having a nuclear program, dead school girls,
+ $5.00 a gallon gasoline, and this unneeded and un-winnable war are Trump and his band
of stupid Fascist fuck ups fault.

That's what we need.

😒

He thinks it can stay this way, his ballroom is more important and his photo on passports. Meanwhile WTF are the navy replenishment ships? Reports of US base damage has been suppressed but most part are unusable and the Iranians hit most of the warehouses.

While publicly demanding in April 2026 that Iran "Open the F*ckin' Strait" or face "Hell," Trump has also told aides he might not prioritize reopening it to end the war, arguing the U.S. does not rely on that oil, and that the strait would open naturally.

Trump is talking like a man with a paper asshole. The Iranians hold the better hand. Good God they have a blistering propaganda message using Lego men

..After 16 minutes, Donald will try to move the briefing over at McDonalds'.

So I don't think that's getting them the results they want

Trump has fucked us.

That's more than I was aware of. How much did it actually cost? I've seen $3.99-$4.10 for regular outside of California. That's approx double what it was early in the year

making stock/prediction trades based on their insider knowledge.

like Strait of Trump...........for that treasonous' ego he has between his ears.........

on ground that could not support their weight.

I guess they are okay with engaging in war crimes and crimes against humanity.

From the end of his last newsletter:

The US being screwed with his choice of:

1) Ground glass
2) Sand
3) A fracking bit

option for us and the world, but very unlikely, since it would be next to impossible to spin as a victory, and Trump can never accept defeat, especially in these circumstances.

2: Escalate. That's what these briefings are for. That's what Trump will eventually do, since the current situation regarding the strait of Hormuz is untenable.

However, escalation is likely to fail, and then what? Tactical nukes? Trump is more than capable of pushing the button because he is a psychopath and doesn't have long to live. Also, he wants to be an important historical figure and popping off a nuke or two will surely do that.

This Iran war just gets scarier and scarier.

First, they'll use those supersonic missiles... that's
a hard on right there.

Then if that doesn't work... nukes.

is Brad Cooper a magat, or not? Has he passed the Big Lie requirement to be in this administration, or will he get fired as soon as he tells the mad king something he doesn't want to hear?

Whatever the options may be at this point, I think it's safe to assume that the worst possible one will be the order.

He badly wants to use one.

I'm afraid he thinks that he can drop one (or two) and Iran will surrender nine days later, like it's 1945.

being consulted?

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

If they bomb infrastructure they not only commit war crimes but Iran and their proxies will do the same to all of the neighboring Gulf countries and eventually successfully get a coordinated terror and missile attack on an Israeli city or maybe multiple to enhance the damage and destruction. Israeli citizens are already leaving. Israel also has ports that may become targets for Iranian sea drones that can be deployed by their proxies in the region.

Iran has already neutralized our support systems in the region hence the bad food situation on ships. What is the medical resupply situation should the US commit to more direct action? Can our ships and personnel be resupplied with munitions, spare and repair parts, and fuel in a reasonable amount of time and without risking loss of the resupply ships or aircraft?

If Gulf allies see that we can't maintain and protect our own forces, what will they think of our ability to defend them? How will that assessment affect their future cooperation with the US?

There is more to consider than just offensive options.

just the very IDEA that fascist orange assclown is "in charge"

They will just get more Iranians and Americans killed. They have the potential to render the Gulf states uninhabitable.

I short, they are planning to break the rest of the China. We will own the disaster. Iran will still own the Persian Gulf and the weapons grade nuclear material.

For those too young to remember, we tried all of that and more in Vietnam. The Communist Party of Vietnam still owns Vietnam. We just refuse to learn from our mistakes.

There has to be easier ways to distract us from the Epstein files
