Joe Kent is warning President Trump that any attempt to seize Kharg Island could turn into a disaster for U.S. troops.

Kent argues that Iran has not yet used its full military capabilities against American forces and warns that occupying the island would leave U.S. troops vulnerable and isolated.

"That's going to make our troops essentially hostages."

[Tom Joseph @TomJChicago]

Trump is frantic and mentally ill with dementia. His crazy post is an attempt to distract from the breaking news of credible allegations that he tortured his underage rape victims. It's from the Haberman / Swan book and NYT reporting on a Situation Room meeting where Trump's top enablers debated on how to hide his predilections and Epstein crimes. It's sickening.
Note: Trump already lost the Iran war. We won't be "taking Kharg Island"- our troops would be sitting ducks. Trump is trying to get Epstein off the headlines.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

“My preference has always been to take Kharg Island… I don't know that America has the stomach for it… You'd make a fortune."

He’s talking about sacrificing thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of American soldier’s lives. So he and his buddies can make a fortune. That’s what he thinks we don’t have the stomach for.

Brumbies are being shot from helicopters across Kosciuszko National Park while major tourism and infrastructure expansion continues across the Snowy Mountains region.

The NSW Government says this is about environmental protection.

So where is the data?

How many brumbies have been rehomed?

What evidence shows non-lethal alternatives have been exhausted?

Why are population estimates disputed?

Australians deserve transparency.

Release the data. Let the public see the evidence.

SIGN SHARE -- STOP SLAUGHTER of Wild Horses / Brumbies -- @MlcHurst and call on NSW Environment Minister to reject Draft Kosciuszko Wild Horse Management Plan & instead support use of fertility control #nswpol -- https://t.co/GoocDWptNs

[Lesa E @lese_e]

It has broken my heart reading what is planned for these horses.

Chris Minns and Penny Sharpe, this aerial cull is cruel, inhumane and completely unacceptable. Thousands of Australians will wake up tomorrow sick with worry over what may happen to these animals.

These are living creatures. They are part of Australia’s heritage. Yet they are being treated as if their lives have no value.

Australians are angry. We are tired of governments making decisions behind closed doors and expecting the public to simply accept them. Our tax dollars should not be funding cruelty.

Tomorrow will be remembered by many Australians as a shameful day.

This is a disgrace.

Please get behind saving our Brumbies.....🙏

Who disagrees with this massacre?

This map shows the area currently closed for the aerial shooting operation in Kosciuszko National Park.

Thousands of Australians still have no idea this is happening.

You don’t have to agree on every aspect of brumby management to believe there has to be a better way than shooting horses from helicopters.

If you oppose this cruelty, please take 30 seconds to sign the petition and make your voice heard.

OPEN LETTER TO MINISTER RE: BRUMBY SLAUGHTER

By Emma Hurst MP

An Open Letter to the NSW Environment Minister Regarding the Killing of Horses in Kosciuszko National Park

Dear Minister,

I write to you regarding the ongoing killing of wild horses in Kosciuszko National Park.

Few issues have generated as much community concern and distress as the mass aerial shooting taking place right now.

The last Government aerial shooting program was horrendous - as many feared it would be. Horses were found with multiple bullet wounds. Foals were killed, while others were left orphaned and vulnerable to starvation or predation.

Many people were concerned we would see a repeat of the Guy Fawkes aerial shooting program. In some ways, what happened may have been even worse.

That's why this second killing program has ignited even more outrage. It has highlighted to the public that these large killing programs do not work. The Government claim to have killed thousands of horses, but now claim the numbers have skyrocketed again. If this is true, what this points out is that aerial shooting is a band aid solution- it is not a long-term solution. The Government cannot justify further aerial shooting - period.

I want to you to take a moment to think about each of the animals this decision effects. The fear, pain, and long-lingering deaths that this aerial kill will undoubtedly cause the horses residing at Kosciuszko National Park.

We both care about the environment and native animals. The protection of Kosciuszko's unique environment is exceptionally important. But animal welfare is important too. We can recognise both truths simultaneously.

As elected representatives, we have a responsibility to seek solutions that ensure both environmental protection and broader compassion are considered. This may not be the easy road- but it is the right road. It involves proper community consultation, opportunities for rehoming, considering the latest science and technology and looking towards humane long-term solutions rather than going down the route of taking action simply for a headline that implies action is being taken, when we know that the action itself will cause great suffering and no long-term solution.

I therefore ask you to immediately cease the current killing program and convene a genuine roundtable involving environmental scientists, animal welfare experts, rescue organisations, brumby advocates, regional communities and other stakeholders to identify a practical and humane way forward.

I have personally been calling for fertility control since I was elected seven years ago. The heartbreaking reality is that if governments had invested in these solutions when they were first proposed, the killing taking place today may have been avoided.

Trials have still not been started- instead a report was released criticising the old outdated technology in this space, and didn't give any proper consideration to the latest technology that overcomes those issues. It suggests either a total lack of interest in humane options, or a lack of understanding around the issue and the latest technology. No decision this great should ever be made in either of those scenarios.

This issue has become unnecessarily polarised. I am hearing rehomers are being blocked out from rescuing some of the horses. This has become an aggressive campaign by the Government - it is heavy handed for no reason, and the victims of this will be the animals.

We must stop 'picking sides' for political purposes, and instead stop and find the best solutions for all involved.
I urge you to show that leadership now. The shooting must stop, and a humane path forward must be found.

Yours sincerely,
Emma Hurst MP
Member of the Legislative Council

In Australia we urgently need international intervention and public advocacy to stop the inhumane aerial shooting of of thousands of brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park.

The culling of wild brumbies will resume in Kosciuszko National Park this week, despite public outcry
It's so inhumane to shoot these horses from the air, leaving them to die slowly and painfully

Please don’t scroll past this.

The reports coming out of Kosciuszko National Park are making me sick.

Brumbies are being aerially shot right now, many Australians are devastated by this cruel and brutal attack on these horses.

People are travelling to the area and putting themselves at risk because they are so desperate to stop this.

Australians are not being heard, we are being ignored, and are sick with worry that by the time the rest of the public becomes aware of what is happening, it will be too late.

We need help. Reports are coming in of supposed protocol breaches, including allegations that quad bikes are being used to herd horses into the line of fire.

Please look into it for yourself, ask questions, and decide where you stand.

These horses cannot speak for themselves.
