Trump Says U.S. Service Member Deaths In Iran Attack Is ‘Great Deal For The World’: Report

He is vile.

“We expect casualties with something like this,” Trump said. “We have three, but we expect casualties, but in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world.”

How much proof do the American people need? Trump is a criminal who should not be playing president. What are we waiting for? For him to start a war? For him to kill American citizens with his goon squads? For him to tax us with Tariffs? For him to destroy democracy daily? What is it going to take?

It's unfortunate that Trump chose to strike Iran amid escalating tensions. If the self-proclaimed bully truly understood his adversary, he should have first addressed attacks on his own citizens. Even his petroleum industry backers won't escape Iran's fierce retaliation.

This article is a lie. Bluesky has Qanon level bullshit flowing through it all the time. The truth is exactly the opposite. Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and all Democrats are pushing for a vote to limit Trump and get EVERYONE on the record. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

With the supreme leader dead, power in Iran hangs in the balance A dramatic blow to the regime—followed by dangerous uncertainty

The risk for Donald Trump is that he becomes bogged down in an ill-defined military campaign to contain a weakened but still functional and hostile regime—precisely the sort of open-ended conflict in the Middle East he has long derided

DUH! NBC news anchors asked Iran why it’s justifying attacks on American bases in the region.
“Um, because you’re bombing us from those bases? What do you want me to say?” #cdnpoli

Putin has described the killing of Ali Khamenei as a "cynical murder." The attack by Israel and the US violates all norms of human morality and international law, Putin said, according to the Russian news agency TASS. 🧵

He reportedly offered his condolences to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Putin's criticism of violations of international law is surprising, given that he has been waging an illegal war of aggression against Ukraine for years.

Each year, Putin does not send 5,000 russian Jewish conscripts to attack Ukraine because he allows all of them to escape to Israel and avoid the front line where armed people shoot back

Then they attack his ally Iran. Brilliant!!

The EuroRights ignorance or direct support of Israels genocide of the Palestinians is not the boon it might seem.
I don't support or defend the Iranian regime, but don't think Israel want a strong democratic Iran. Look to Syria & Lebanon.
The ER needs some realism.
