As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.

Analysis of Major Polls Shows Trump’s War on Iran Is Historically Unpopular | Common Dreams Unprecedented unpopularity for Trump's Iran war among US voters, with just 38% approval. Historical comparisons show lack of support for military strikes.

Just another unjustified war in which we have no idea why we are there or how do we end it. And to make it even worse we have a bunch of psychopaths running it. A billion people could die and they wouldn't bat an eye.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…

You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.

And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
