Nobody knows for certain how Trump’s War on Iran will play out or end.

The only thing we know for certain is that Trump will declare victory no matter what happens.

Hungary's Russian-backed Orban now allowing his Moscow masters to iron out all the details for transitioning the country into a Russian colony.

Meanwhile, silence from the EU.

Opinion | If Russia Has β€˜All the Cards,’ Why Has It Achieved So Little?

Lawrence Freedman: "If Russia has all the cards, why has it achieved so little?"
"in the past year Russia suffered roughly 400,000 casualties, including killed, wounded and missing, to acquire around 0.8 percent of Ukrainian territory."

Pete Hegseth - Wikipedia

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boasts of a BA from Princeton & a master degree from Harvard, but anybody who hears him notes this is a crude ignoramus.
How did Hegseth get his two Ivy League degrees? Basketball?
Or like the Trump & Kushner kids?

This is the man Senators who present themselves as serious human beings are going to rubber stamp into the office of Director of Homeland Security. Show some self-respect and some love of country and vote no.

Trump does whatever he can to help Putin:
1. Refuses to deliver any arms for sale to Ukraine.
2. Hikes the global oil and gas prices to Russia's benefit through his madcap war against Iran.
3. Eases oil sanctions against Russia to help financing its war against Ukraine.

Happy to see the European reactions to the Trump-Netanyahu war of choice against Iran:
1. Nobody supports it.
2. Not even Mark Rutte dares to suggest that Europe should help in this war.
3. I do hope that Europe will rearm asap with their own arms, since the US is so unreliable.

As though we needed any more evidence that Fox "News" is a mendacious propaganda machine and not remotely a serious journalistic enterprise.

Still, this is pretty astounding.

β€œThe US is roughly speaking oil independent… on net, we export petroleum products.”

That’s why this is less an β€˜America is poorer’ story than an β€˜Americans reshuffle who wins’ story. Drivers lose. Oil industry wins.

I asked Trump if witnessing the dignified transfers of six Americans killed in this war gave him any pause about this operation, he told me "not at all" and that all of the families told him "please, win this for my child.

Can networks check with families whether they said this before reporting?

Maybe I’m weird, but wouldn’t this hurt even more if this weren’t accurately reported..

There are going to be Republicans running in many places who will go out of their way this October to point out to voters that they never asked for Trump’s endorsement. Susan Collins will top the list.

We bombed the hell out of the Vietnamese for many years. They never surrendered. What happens next when you bomb people and they still won’t surrender?

170 dead schoolgirls, an ancient city flattened, 7 dead US soldiers, $110 a barrel, gas prices doubled - and all to replace an 86 year old dictator with his son.

CBS: If you could tell the American public the US definitively did not bomb that elementary school in Iran, you would tell us, wouldn't you?

HEGSETH: I would say it's being investigated, which is the only answer I'm prepared to give

White House Says US Bombed Iran Because Donald Trump Had a β€˜Feeling’ The White House recently confirmed that the US went to war with Iran because of President Donald Trumpβ€˜s feelings. On February 28, the President announced that the US had launched a military operation...

Logic and planning are not part of Trump's tool bag.
He didn't get a "feeling" about the consequences of his orders.
