We learned today that Israel BOMBED the building it THOUGHT was the site of Iranian leaders choosing a new Ayatollah today.
So the NYT should be very clear on Trump and Netanyahu wanting ABSOLUTE CHAOS in Iran, not someone they can negotiate with.
Do better, NYT. Please, finally, do better.
Great work team, definitely worth WWIII

Sorry, you don't get to give Trump CREDIT for creating a space-time continuum in which we will never be able to check if your presumptions (which is what they are) would have been correct
That is a tautology, and I am not here for it
You shouldn't be either

MARCO RUBIO:
The imminent threat was from Israel deciding to attack Iran without us and then Iran retaliating
The imminent threat was from Israel deciding to attack Iran without us
The imminent threat was from Israel deciding to attack Iran
The imminent threat was from Israel
So the evidence of Donald Trump actually *caring* about the Iranian nuclear program being stopped is not almost zero, or approximately zero, or nearly zero, or in the general vicinity of zero, or approaching zero, but *exactly* zero. I don't make the rules, reality does.
03.03.2026 05:55 β π 17 π 2 π¬ 2 π 0Well, no, because Iranian enrichment dropped to zero after the 2015 nuclear deal, then Trump because he hated Barack Obama for being Black decided to exit that deal, and as you can see from any chart you look at in a Google search the result of Trump doing that was that Iran restarted enrichment.

The Trump administration has now admitted that *Israel* was the nation that *created* the threat to the United States by declaring it was going to illegally attack Iran just because. *America* feared the consequences of what *Israel* was doing.

This statement by Marco Rubio is a thing of beauty. No notes. It can be taken exactly as is and dropped into Orwell's 1984. I believe the correct Homeric adjective for military reasoning like this is "Hell-kissed."
Get thee to the Smithsonian, war crime-speak.

We were promised a historically competent Pentagon, and were told that we could judge how competent the Pentagon was going to be by how many pull-ups Pete Hegseth could do and the fact that soldiers would stop wearing beards.
Turns out these toxic turds can't even read maps.

If you have a friendβperhaps even a congressmanβspreading the lie that Trump has been trying to keep us safe from Iranian nukes, send them this. Maybe they learn better through music.
Obama had Iran's nuclear program cagedβbut Israel wanted a forever war.
