Hey #MAGA, when is enough enough? He's bleeding humiliation of our country.

I would st least explain that President Trump was ultimately the one who issued orders that made this happen.

2500 Marines? Think "island".

Kharg Island to be exact, and the airstrip that is on it.

Note, I speculate. If I knew anything, I would not be saying anything.

Iran would start. We don't know who it was, but whoever it was, he very likely knew of specific US war plans. There is nothing too low for these people.

If you are inclined, you can listen to Fresh Air tonight. It is @mckaycoppins.bsky.social talking about online gambling, but in the discussion he notes that Junior is on the board of the two largest prediction markets in the world. And some anonymous person won $400,000 betting that a war with

No.

The port facilities would still be in range of Iranian missiles and drones.

Curtis LeMay, 1965, "My solution to the problem would be to tell them frankly that they’ve got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression, or we’re going to bomb them into the stone age."

Narrator: The US, in fact, lost that war.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Wait. I thought one of them was running a war or something (something that takes a lot of time and attention).

I've thought about this a lot. I mean a lot.

I have concluded that we are in a culture-wide epistemology crisis. One can believe in God and still reject pre-hoc conclusions and beliefs. But sound challenging claims, etc., is not being taught, either in our schools or our pulpits. And this anemic

It is apparent to some that Iran has had years to prepare asymmetrical response surprises for us couch-sitters in the US. The carnival barkers at Fox News can't envision this, but Iran can.

The only effective thing I have noticed Tillis do is go after Republicans he doesn't like. Madison Cawthorne, Kristy Noem, and now Miller. I wish him great success with this one too.

In one sense, though, the plan was to do Nyahu's bidding.
