America is so powerful it doesn't need allies? Now it does?

Trump, you started the Iran war. You can finish it on your own.

Oh by the way, you are a bald pedophile. Two things that everyone knows about you.

Imagine that everything he promised his base turning out to be a lie. Shocking. Just shocking.

The scariest words in horror used to be “He’s behind you.” Now it’s “He’s president again.”

Nobel Peace Prize for Trump?

Does that include his arming and encouragement of Israel for the slaughter in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran?

I was thinking more of an orange jumpsuit at the International Criminal Court in the Hague.

Iran used to be referred to as the 'Axis of Evil'.

I think that America, Russia and Israel should have that title now.

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

CNN: Trump underestimated problem of Hormuz
Trump: FAKE NEWZ!!
WSJ: Trump's advisors didn't underestimate the problem, Trump kept the smart ones out of the room and ignored what contrary advice he got

Opinion | Any Way You Look at It, Netanyahu Wins The war in Iran is a victory for the Israeli prime minister.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“Benjamin Netanyahu has spent much of his political life trying to make war with Iran seem not only inevitable but overdue,” Mairav Zonszein writes in a guest essay. “Thus, for the Israeli prime minister, the latest conflict was a victory the moment it began.”

Pentagon plan expands oversight of Stars and Stripes, limits content The plan puts barriers on the use of wire service content and prohibits information that is not “consistent with good order and discipline.”

🗞️I spent the best 11 yrs. of my journalism career at Stars and Stripes. As an editorially independent newspaper that covers the troops for the troops, it is the most important paper in the U.S. and wholly American at our best.
Those troops are losing their most honest advocate, and are worse for it.

Nigel Farage regrets running 'bankrupt' Worcestershire Council The Reform UK leader says he wishes the party

“Farage has said he wishes the party "hadn't bothered" to take minority control of Worcestershire County Council, because of its financial problems”

V much summing up his approach to power.

At the moment it seems like Trump's power is almost unlimited.

Will the constitutional guardrails be effective, or is it down to the American people to take it back?

Iran was no imminent threat to the USA. It is now.

The only clear and present danger to America is Trump himself.

So America, here's your choice...

You can either have free, unlimited, clean energy or...

severely limited quantities of polluting, increasingly expensive energy.

Tough one, huh?

My point was that if you look back at US interventions in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Trump wasn't involved at all.

American 'leadership' and stupidity was on show for all to see.

The Dangerous Cost of Fighting Iran Without a Strategy The United States can destroy targets in Iran — but without a strategy, destruction alone leads nowhere.

War has a way of exposing the difference between power and strategy. The United States has enormous power. What remains unclear right now is whether anyone running this war has a strategy.

Again and again, the rest of the world has to watch while America fails to do regime change in the Middle East.

The sheer bloody arrogance is mind numbing.

How Donald Trump’s Iran War Is Destabilizing the Gulf Despite their animosity toward Iran, America’s allies in the Middle East are worried that the region is headed for wider conflict.

"I think the worst-case scenario for the Gulf states is playing out. They’re seeing a US-Israeli operation being executed with no day-after planning."

Read Sanam Vakil's interview with @ichotiner.bsky.social for @newyorker.com on the impact of the US-Israel war with Iran on the Gulf states.
