🇺🇸 The New York Times says that Trump has shelved, for now, plans for a major escalation of the US war against Iran after advisers warned it could dangerously drain depleted Patriot interceptor stocks and trigger a wider regional war.
🔹The reported decision comes after Pentagon already surged forces and weapons to the region in preparation for escalation.
🔹Gen. Dan Caine reportedly told Trump that renewed large-scale combat was possible but would severely reduce CENTCOM’s remaining air defenses. The Pentagon has used more than 1,200 Patriot missiles, costing over $4 million each.
🔹Officials also cited threats to Gulf allies, rising energy prices and doubts that heavier strikes would force Iran back to negotiations. After 13 consecutive nights of attacks, the US announced no new strikes Saturday, but the report notes that the diplomatic path forward remains unclear.
another great moment from Ben Affleck showing his mom's influence, when he called out the disgusting vile Islamophobic anti-Arab racism of Zionist neocon John McCain, for a comment liberals gushed over and still praise to this day:
last week Marco Rubio announced that the US has declared war on the ICC, at the behest of its Israeli masters. Today their slave in Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez announces withdrawing from the ICC, using pseudo-radical rhetoric to launder having her leash tugged on by Rubio/Netanyahu
This unhinged bigot and conspiracy theorist was once banned from Uber for being so extreme.
She is now granted interviews with heads of state.
We live in the worst timeline.
آمریکاییها مدام تجهیزات نظامی جدید به منطقه میآورند و ادعا میکنند دنبال توقف جنگند. روی هوش ما اندازهٔ آی کیوی مختصر خودشان حساب کردهاند.
ما در شناخت این آمریکاییبازیها به مرحلهٔ استاد تمامی رسیدهایم و بر این اساس آماده شدهایم. اقدامات باید مؤید ادعاها باشد نه ناقض آنها.
Every war of aggression is justified in the name of benevolence or helping people or whatever. It'd be one thing to fall for this if (as in most countries) war were rare.
But Americans have repeatedly seen the proof for decades (from the Buckley/Chomsky 1966 debate on Vietnam):
“Why would you give a country committing a genocide any weapons?”
@mehdirhasan presses Rep. @RoKhanna on whether or not he supports an arms embargo on Israel, especially after his visit to the West Bank.
🚨New from Drop Site News: Iran Sent Message to JD Vance Warning that Kushner and Witkoff Were “Abusing” Their Inside Access to Negotiations
A senior Iranian official said Tehran privately told Vance the pair were exploiting the negotiations for financial gain. The Trump administration says it never happened.
