๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท According to Bloomberg, China is pressuring Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and to avoid attacks on shipments of oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Beijing is significantly dependent on energy resources from the Gulf countriesโ€”particularly gas from Qatar

THE CONTRAST IS INCREDIBLE

As the U.S. and Israel launched a war with Iran, Trump emerged from the makeshift SCIF at Mar-a-Lago to make an appearance at his $1M-per-plate fundraiser.

๐Ÿ“Œ Four U.S. troops have already died in combat.

Woman sues Kenbridge, police after chief allegedly tipped off shooting suspect The town of Kenbridge and its police department are facing a lawsuit of more than $140 million.

A womanโ€™s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her

Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship.

She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead.

Boyfriend opened fire on her car

We arenโ€™t angry enough.

Secretary Rubio's remarks indicate that Israel put U.S. forces in harm's way by insisting on attacking Iran. And the administration was complicitโ€”joining their war instead of talking them down.

This is unacceptable of the President, and unacceptable of a country that calls itself our ally.

Hegseth really looked at the Boy Scouts and was like, โ€œI have an idea. You remember that whole youth program Germany had in the โ€˜30s? I think we can do something with that.โ€

"Imagine a year from now" -- the new administration line, being pushed here by Marco Rubio, is that Iran was developing conventional weapons "as a shield" for nukes. That story is much weaker than claiming Iran was an imminent threat.

Years of U.S., NATO miscalculations left Ukraine massively outgunned The U.S. Army and NATO made key strategic, funding and production mistakes that led to shortages of a pivotal weapon Ukraine needs to thwart Russia's advances.

Trump/Hegseth are hell bent on exhausting the last stockpiles of munitions we have left with no real ability to scale up production to meet demand.

Either 2 things happen, deescalation or it escalates to tactical nuclear weapons. I pray to god it's not the latter.

So he's saying that he knew Israel was going to attack Iran and he believed Iran would retaliate by attacking US bases, so we had to strike first since Israel was going to get US forces attacked.
