This is what I want to know. I know there is the No Kings protest Sat, but the current urgency is to end the war.

The No Kings protests on Saturday are going to be all about the war. 5 million people are expected to protest.

Honestly, if they reframed and renamed it as a protest against the war, they’d get both sides there and triple the people. I’m not going, but if they reframed and renamed - my whole family would go! And all my neighbors! Everyone I know.

I think it’s going to be very poignant if Graham loses in SC this year

Iran eradicated our entire Middle East military base structure and has struck a potentially fatal blow to the petrodollar system. It’s really, really hard to wrap your head around just how disastrous and painfully consequential this whole thing has been.

BREAKING: Qatar withdraws from the war.

​"Iran has been here for thousands of years. No one is going anywhere. Total destruction is not an option."

​"We will live side by side. We will be neighbors and find ways to coexist."

Wow talk about making the perfect the enemy of the good. Stuff like this is why we’re in this situation in the first place.

They’re showing that Israel’s not the hegemony in the region but leave it to the delusional Gulf Arabs to take the side of the Israelis who they should not trust instead of Iranians just due to ego. They’d rather pay Kushner than pay tolls to the Iranians for the strait of Hormuz. They’re just as compromised by blackmail as Trump

Yes. This. I’m not against a “King” as a concept (there are benevolent Kings) but I am against Trump and his administration getting us into this war. Let’s name it.

Yes they were fighting by way of the Us base that was there and is now destroyed. This seems to be a way of telling the Us they aren’t welcome to build another base in Qatar .

And the big problem is we cannot strike from naval vessels in the sea because Iran has underwater mines that will destroy the vessel.

Trump has really no options here unless he does the unthinkable and goes nuclear and I would not be surprised if that’s what he ends up doing in order to avoid a politically unpopular ground war.

Although there hasn't been any checks on Trump's insanity and general foolishness, I'd hope that there is some type of safeguard against a nuclear strike. I think even Trump realizes that'd make him one of history's villains, though.

It means Qatar made a deal with Iran. The U.S. is out.

+100 I hope there is a war protest soon! We need to show the world we don’t agree with this!
