| Poor Netanyahu. He spent more than 40 years lobbying the US to fight on behalf of Israel and now there's speculation that he may be severely injured or dead just a few days into this war ☹️ |

The Iranians can’t afford to lose control of Kharg Island. We knocked out their military infrastructure there overnight and 2,500 Marines are in route to the area. |

The whole f'ing world is collateral damage in this war! This country produces its own energy and can better weather economic hard times than most other countries in the world. As someone with family in Europe, I'm outraged that my relatives--who are already struggling in one of the poorer European countries--will now have to pay significantly more for fuel for their cars and for heating as well as for food because of the decisions of a mentally ill POS who happens to be POTUS. A few more months of this and the world will be plunged into a global recession: "Analysts warn prolonged disruption (>1–3 months) could tip major economies (especially Europe, Asia as heavy importers) into recession, with global GDP hit via higher energy/shipping costs eroding consumer spending and industrial activity." |

What’s the breaking point with Congress? At what point will they say this has gone too far?

Great. Weren't we in talks with Iran before we started bombing them? |

You don’t really believe Mr. war is in Israel do you? His jet was circling Berlin but couldn’t land because there are arrest warrants for him throughout Europe |

Our actions have led to Iran having a more hardline government while also undercutting the protest movement and making nuclear proliferation more likely. We've lost 7 tankers, 3 fighters and a billion dollar radar system. Wasted thousands of missiles and moved defensive systems away from core allies in Korea and Europe. Geopolitically we've accelerated the move to a multi-polar world, isolated ourselves internationally, bailed Russia out economically, and shown our cards to China. There has been no benefit to us for anything we've done, only losses of material, money, credibility and optionality. Despite the success of our precision bombs we've made things worse and would have been in a better position had we done nothing at all. It's been a giant strategic loss that has left us less safe. China, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, and Turkey have been the big winners. Ukraine has suprisingly been both a winner and loser. Lebanon, UAE, UK, and USA have been the big losers. Iran has suprisingly been both a winner and loser because they began this from a much worse position then where they are now. |

Yep. Trump now wants the deal they had hammered out. Whether Iran will agree to it is another matter. |

Maybe midterms but at this point any effort to do anything puts the stink on them as well. By doing nothing they think that the administration takes all the blame. |

Might want to wait on verification of that. Trump lies about this kind of stuff all the time |

It showed our lack of strategic intel and lack of strategic planning. |

He's not. Stop giving everyone hope, PP! And Israel isn't crumbling under bombs. Precious few would be grieving if it did... but it's just not true. Let's stick to facts, hmm? |

In order to stop the price of oil from going sky high this week. |
