Meanwhile our actual soldiers in Kuwait were given no warning that retaliatory strikes would be incoming and were killed.

We have now lost 6 service members as a result of Donald Trump’s illegal war.

Six heroes.
Six human beings.
Six patriots.

Gone.

For a 5 time draft dodging traitor who views them as pawns.

Six.

The White House seems to be signaling a way that they can declare victory and stop bombing Iran even as the Iranians reject overtures from the US to restart talks. 

That is the most likely way this "ends," with Trump just calling it quits unilaterally at some point. What Israel and Iran do at that point is unclear.

On Saturday, President Trump released a statement laying out clear objectives to the American people for Operation Epic Fury. 

Let me reiterate them:

Destroy the Iranian regime’s missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground.

Annihilate the Iranian regime’s Navy.

Ensure the regime’s terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces. 

Stop them from making and using IEDs or roadside bombs, which have gravely wounded and killed thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. 

Guarantee that Iran can NEVER obtain a nuclear weapon.

Preventing this radical regime and its terrorist leaders from threatening America and our core national security interests is a clear-eyed and necessary objective.

Killing terrorists is good for America. 49 of the most senior Iranian regime leaders – including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – have already been wiped off the face of the Earth so far in the opening strikes of Operation Epic Fury. 

Finally, while Operation Midnight Hammer did obliterate Iran’s major nuclear sites, the regime was fully committed to rebuilding their nuclear program, and they REFUSED to make a deal, despite months of extensive talks and good faith efforts by President Trump’s top negotiators. 

Simply put, the terrorist Iranian regime would not say yes to peace.

For 47 years, the Iranian regime has actively and intentionally facilitated the killing of Americans while chanting β€œdeath to America” and funding other bloodthirsty terrorists seeking to destroy the United States and all of Western Civilization. Prior American leaders were too weak and cowardly to do anything about it. Now, President Donald J. Trump is correcting decades of cowardice and holding those responsible for the deaths of Americans accountable.

Their brutal attacks and threats will finally end under President Trump. 

America will win – the terrorists will be defeated.

So far we’ve heard that although we killed the whole Iranian regime, this was not a regime change war. And although we obliterated their nuclear program, we had to do this because of their nuclear program. And although Iran was not planning any attacks on the US, they also might have been, depending on who you ask. And although we are not fighting this war to free the Iranian people, they are now free, or might be, depending on who seizes power, and we have no idea who that will be. The messaging on this thing is, to put it mildly, confused.

🚨NEW: The number of seriously injured U.S. soldiers in President Trump’s regime change war in Iran has more than tripled, the Pentagon confirms.

CNN and Al Jazeera, citing U.S. officials, report the total has risen from 5 to 18 following Iran’s retaliatory attacks. At least 4 U.S. soldiers have also been killed. 

During a Medal of Honor ceremony honoring three U.S. Army service members, Trump meandered into a discussion about interior design and construction at the White House:

– He pointed out "nice" gold drapes, remarking, "I picked those drapes. I always liked gold".

– He noted that behind the drapes was a "very, very deep hole" that would become a "very, very beautiful building" and "the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world" in about a year and a half.

– He joked the new ballroom needed to be finished quickly so the First Lady could stop complaining about the 6 a.m. jackhammers. β€œWill these piledrivers ever stop?” he said, mimicking her.
