Killing people and destroying things “just for fun” is psychopathic behavior and even saying it is something only a psychopath would do and every U.S. news organization should be shouting that from the rooftops. Editors: Rise to the challenge of truth-telling or make room for someone who will.

‘Last person we need help from is Zelensky’: Trump snubs Ukrainian leader’s assistance in Iran war Donald Trump says Volodymyr Zelensky is the “last person” the US needs help from after Kyiv offered expertise to counter Iranian drones. Trump also called Zelensky “difficult” to make a deal with.

Trump was asked twice about Ukrainian help in the Iran war last week and twice he lied:

1st -"No, we don't need their help in drone defense. We know more about drones than anybody. We have the best drones in the world, actually."

2nd- he actually attacked Zelensky

Agree💯

Billions of dollars are spent to convince us to hang on to the use of hydrocarbon-based fuel, even when it is killing us.

Cheap and efficient: Why everyone wants Ukraine’s drone interceptors Since 2022 Kyiv has developed a complex and multi-layered air defence system, which includes mobile fire groups, often using pickup trucks armed with heavy machine guns, and domestically developed int...

Ukraine has been able to switch to a new, technologically advanced, inexpensive drone and missile system because they are not run by incompetent, corrupt politicians.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Since they refuse to choose policies that are popular with Americans, they opt to choose their voters instead.

Almost exactly like that.

I don't think we won.

None of our closest allies - UK, France, Germany, and Canada - believe that it is better to trust the US under Trump than China

Remarkable results.

Except when he's out on the golf course

And also...please, Allies, come help us out of the mess we made!

Trump Calls on Other Nations to Help Secure the Strait of Hormuz Trump called on other countries to take the lead on clearing the Strait of Hormuz, saying they 'must take care of that passage, and we will help.'

“The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way" - DJT

If the US has completely defeated Iran, why are you begging other countries for help defeating Iran?

U.S. eases some sanctions on Russian oil, but crude prices remain high The move, intended to soothe jittery markets over the disruption of Middle Eastern oil and gas supplies, underlines how the war has boosted Moscow's ability to profit from its energy exports, a pillar...

Trump lifted sanctions on Russian oil in a futile attempt to lower gas prices, high due to the war in Iran

This finances Russia's ability to provide Iran with intelligence and low-cost drones and missiles to use against the US, prolonging the war in Iran

He's not playing 4-D chess

Didn't you just tell the UK a week ago NOT to send warships? That you didn't need them?

Yikes! I did not. Even worse than previously reported.

Excellent point.

Yep.

Whether it's part of an evil plan or just incompetence, the result is the same. Americans are paying the price.

You nailed it!

Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran The president’s private comments have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purpos...

Trump has 2 options:

*Admit defeat by declaring victory and accomplishing nothing in Iran

*Send ground troops to open the Strait of Hormuz

Neither one is a good option for the US, but the first is far less destructive

Iran sends millions of oil barrels to China through Strait of Hormuz even as war chokes the waterway Iran has continued to ship crude oil via the Strait of Hormuz to China even as the war between U.S.-Israel and Iran has disrupted broader energy supplies via the waterway.

China is laughing at Trump.

The only country shipping oil out of the Gulf right now is Iran, and they are sending it right to China.

Agree 💯

The lack of planning and anticipation on the Americans' part is astounding.

Hey, Damian!

Good morning, Foxy and friends.

Happy earmuff day. I can't remember the last time I wore earmuffs. Are they still a thing?

Thank you!

No mines in the Delaware.

Ahhhhh....thanks for the info. I had read they were for the Pentagon, but this makes more sense.

Taking the post down.

I don't have anything for that specific time period. I will keep looking.

Thank you, Bab.💙
