Mary Trump on Iran: “This is a nightmare of America’s own making. This is what happens when you put in charge people as incompetent, greedy, corrupt and quite frankly stupid as Donald Trump. Those who have never learned from history because they’ve never learned history” #cdnpoli
A better headline, and story line, would be:
"Trump starts unjustified war; asks others to finish it."
www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
Tell Trump No.
We saw him boast he didn't need Britain's help.
The madman's lost control of a war he couldn't justify and doesn't know how to end.
"Trump urges UK and other nations to send ships to help secure Strait of Hormuz after Iranian attacks."

Impossible to overstate the damage this one person is doing to the entire world.
It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.
Merz is absolutely correct on this occasion, the US sanctions on Russian oil exports should not have been lifted, even temporarily.
Europe must tighten sanctions and increase support for Ukraine, so that the Putin regime knows it will lose.

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
When Trump says "we make a lot of money," he's talking about his Big Oil donors.
They spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024, and the investment is paying off quite well for them.
Oligarchy in action.
UN says 3.2 million people now displaced in Iran as a result of US-Israeli war - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/un-says-32-million-people-now-displaced-iran-result-us-israeli-war
Oh, and Trump’s Cabinet members are trying to buy nuclear bunkers.
Yes, this is a real story 👇

Trump attacked Iran after markets closed on Friday because he thought it would be over by Monday.
12 days on, the world faces a shortage of oil, fertiliser & food, 200 children are dead, a capital city is poisoned & global capital flows are at risk.
He started it but can’t end it.
Cataclysmic.
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
🚨🚨Major story of today: Nearly seven months ago, #Ukraine tried to sell the US their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made attack drones but #Trump admin dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week because of heavy drone strikes from #Iran.🧵

It’s almost like they have no plan.
A new national poll from NBC News finds that threats to democracy have surged to the top of voters’ priorities — matching inflation as the country’s most important issue ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…
Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS
And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!
Because...
👏Countries with more female leaders have less inequality. (WEF)
👏Countries with more women in parliament have lower levels of corruption. (European Journal of Political Research)
👏Female participation in parliament has a positive effect on the economy. (Frontiers in Political Science)
It really is something to see politicians, commentators and media outlets whose whole identity is based on being so-called ‘patriots’ frothing with excitement as they line up to back a deranged megalomaniac who consistently attempts to belittle and bully the country they claim to love
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
❗️Russia is giving Iran information to attack US forces in the Middle East - Washington Post, citing three officials.
Since Saturday, Russia has provided Iran with locations of America's military assets, including warships and aircraft, sources told WP.
Trump, Netenyahu, the Ayatollahs - all the same men - monstrous
”America Last.”
McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
President Zelenskyy:
In three days, Middle Eastern countries have fired 800+ missiles for Patriot systems. Ukraine has never had so many missiles to defend against [Russian] strikes.
Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.
And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?
This is incompetence. Plain and simple.
This is why I write so much about pavement parking
Why is Trump never held accountable for his actions?
