The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Opinion | America is at war. Does the reason really matter? The U.S. president launched the country into war from the comfort of his beach club, starting a conflict in Iran for no discernible reason.

Josh Moon: "Rest assured that a decade or so and billions of dollars from now, when a Democratic president finally ends the occupation and brings American troops home to safety, it will be all his fault that the whole thing didn’t turn out better." πŸ˜’ www.alreporter.com/2026/03/02/o... #Iran

Why do arms dealers advertise? In Washington, this stuff is so common nobody seems to notice. But to those of us from the rest of America? It’s kinda weird. And telling.
