"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?

The bad news is that Trump is probably going to get somewhere between 100k-10m people killed. The good news is that decarbonization will accelerate dramatically and likely stick

Why are we just parking tankers inside a WEZ in the year of our lord twenty and twenty six?

This would violate my “there are no silvers linings in a Trump administration” rule, but it’s not impossible. bsky.app/profile/crai...

Quite frankly, if you aren't directing your economic and intelligence agencies to do anti-Republican election interference, you're an idiot.

A particularly frumpy looking Donald Trump accepts a gawdy shiny trophy from bald crime boss / FIFA president Gianni Infantino, whose hands are clasped in prayerful supplication toward Trump.

The FIFA Peace Prize is literally a golden trophy made of severed human hands I mean ffs that is **BRILLIANT** writing. The guy who selected Trump as the recipient of this "peace price" is implicated in ethnic cleansing.

This is legendary script economy.

what i want to see out of future democratic party leaders is a recognition that federal spending is legitimately good, that we should do more of it, and that doing so will require collective contribution that many, many people are going to scream absolute bloody murder about

Trump says U.S. 'obliterated' military targets on Iran's Kharg Island but didn't 'wipe out' oil infrastructure President Trump said in a Truth Social post that he directed U.S. Central Command to execute a bombing raid that "obliterated" military targets on Kharg Island.

Trump opted not to blow up the oil infrastructure on Kharg Island but I’m sure the Iranians will take care of that for him just a few minutes after he sends in the marines. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/13/t...

This was I think the 3rd question about Hormuz and how we would open the Strait and suddenly he’s “grabbing hold of” … err uh… objectives

Iran war update from the Pentagon YouTube video by KOMO News

At the 32-minute mark he’s visibly aggravated and says: “We’re actually closing in on grabbing hold of [pause] and controlling what objectives we want to achieve and how we want to achieve them.”

He hadn’t used that type of allusion and seemed to hastily pivot.

Who could have possibly foreseen that a war on Iran would reignite hostilities in Iraq as well?

Almost as hard to predict as some *wee* difficulties in the Strait of Hormuz.

I’ve thought for years that a second Trump administration would involve someone bombing Mosul Dam. It remains to seen who the most likely culprit is.

The Trump administration just opened operations against Iran’s strategic Kharg Island. I wonder where they got that idea!? www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/tru...

you wake up in 2030, suddenly you realize you don't have to go all the way to Thailand to smoke legal marijuana in a nudist casino... you're already doing it in your hometown of Montgomery, Alabama
