Haha! They’re throwing Vance under the bus.

So Trump will buy oil at an inflated rate to build back up the reserve so his oil company buddies can cash in

A drunk from Fox News is heading the DOD. An ex-heroin addict who snorted cocaine off of toilet seats is running the HHS . A puppy killer who’s having an affair on her private sex-jet is running DHS. And they all report to a 34count convicted felon who’s accused of raping children.

The entire base is completely burning.

All the equipment inside, worth tens of billions of dollars, has been lost.

JFC there are over 8000 personnel stationed there and it's a key naval support station. I don't give a shit about the money at this point, how many people have we lost in this strike? Anyone celebrating this destruction and potentially large loss of more Americans, can go fuck themselves.

Three US fighter jets accidentally shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses, military says | CNN Three US fighter jets crashed in Kuwait on Monday due to an “apparent friendly fire incident,” the US military said in a statement.

Also, there's a lot going on, so if you're wondering what this is all about, here's the story.

Tom Skerritt in Top Gun: The rules of engagement exist for your safety and for that of your team.

One note on this, because people tend to equate "rules of engagement" with the protection of civilians on the battlefield. That is one component.

Rules of engagement also exist to:

- Prevent friendly fire
- Prevent unnecessary and dangerous escalation
- De-conflict between U.S. and allies

The number of fixed-wing aircraft lost in friendly fire incidents today equals the number lost during the entire 20-year span of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11.

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years — since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War.

Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Of course there was NO eminent threat from Iran….only a myriad of faux pretexts to justify a “war of choice”.

Who are the council members temporarily in charge of Iran? Until Khamenei's successor is picked, three-member leadership council, including Ayatollah Arafi, will lead Iran.

Has Trump misunderstood Iran’s IRGC and the Basij forces? US president called for IRGC members to lay down their arms or face 'certain death'. Here's how he misunderstands IRGC.
