Any deaths in war are tragic, but American troops on a US military base are legitimate targets. Their killing does NOT justify retaliation against civilian infrastructure. That would be a war crime. https://t.co/9HpTcZxfVP

[Daniel Davis Deep Dive @DanielLDavis1]

Can I just ask the obvious question here? Where was this condemnation when central command bragged two or three days ago about sending a hellfire missile down the smokestack of a civilian tanker that wasn’t doing what we told it to do?

Surely, Europe doesn’t have double standards that grotesque?

He is currently bombing the civilian infrastructure of another country, a country that was at this World Cup!, a country that he attacked illegally, but we’re expected to watch him hand over the World Cup to the winning team as if he is some sort of normal A N Other world leader.

Iran is fucking up the planned ground invasion from the West

We intercepted all of Iran's missiles.😎😎😉

Saudi Arabia and Jordan: There are no American bases in our countries.

US military: A large number of our soldiers were injured in Jordan and Saudi Arabia

Karl: You were on this show back in March, you said it would certainly come to an end within a few weeks. We are now nearly five months into this war. How does it end? When does it end?

Wright: Well, the plan we needed 4 to 6 weeks for military actions. They went for five and a half weeks. We did a pause to try to get an agreement… we've pivoted. Now we’re assuring that that oil and gas and other products can flow through the Strait of Hormuz

Karl: But we're not seeing it flow now. I mean, hasn't flow of traffic through the strait of hormuz effectively stopped over the past few days

Wright: Oh absolutely not, absolutely not. I get the data on that every day. The seven day trailing average right now is just under 7 million barrels a day.

Karl: Thursday, there were eight ships going through the Strait of Hormuz. That's far below.

I once had dinner with a tailor who worked at the tailoring house that made Tristan Tate's suits. During our convo, it came up that I said online that Tristan's suits fit badly. He explained that Tristan insisted that his suits be made slimmer and shorter. Unfortunately, when you are dealing in bespoke, sometimes there's nothing you can do when a customer is poorly educated and has bad taste. To some, he looks sleek. To people who know about tailoring or have better taste, he looks bad.

🇫🇷 French General Yakovleff:

“The U.S. asks us for help and wants us to share the cost of their fiascos.

Joining Trump’s coalition today is like buying a ticket to dinner and dancing on the Titanic the evening after it hit the iceberg.”

South Africa's leading civil engineers declare most municipalities are now IRREPARABLE — "beyond the point of no return."

This means no voting or party can fix them anymore. They are functionally insolvent.

National Treasury agrees and just cut R14 BILLION in funding to 69.

The entire local government system will have to be dissolved and restructured.

I know we are ignorant, but just as a public service, President Trump killed eight Iranian soldiers the day before. What impact do you think that had on the Iranian people? Do you think that also tested the patience of their leaders?

My anger at the loss of yet two more Americans, bringing the official total of killed an action to 16, is squarely at the feet of the commander in chief, who took this country to war against all advice, and with no rational plan for succeeding.

Iran may have launched the missiles that killed all the Americans, but Trump sat on fire a war that should never have been started.

[Cyrus Janssen @thecyrusjanssen]

This tweet sums up how stupid many Americans are about the war in Iran. The propaganda in the US media is remarkable. Every day we are told:

The US has already won the war! Iran has no military! The Strait of Hormuz is open! But then the reality of the situation hits home 👇

The Strait of Hormuz is under full Iranian control. Only ships that have Iran’s authorization can pass. It doesn’t matter if the US has a more superior Navy, we can’t get our massive battleships anywhere close to Iran or they would be struck with drones and missiles. Iran can control the Strait with speedboats, missiles and drones

How can Iran still attack? This is a country 4x larger than Iraq and is full of mountains. They have prepared for this war for decades and have massive missile stockpiles. There is no logistical way possible for the United States to win this war and only an idiot would choose to start a war against Iran

But that is exactly what Trump is! For 30 years Netanyahu has waited to find a US President dumb enough to take the bait and launch a war against Iran. Trump took the bait and now the entire world economy is under threat

[Canadian Prepper @PrepperCanadian]

Joe Kent is wrong. Iran has every right to defend itself and fight back. There is no need to "hit them back" before leaving, the USA has already killed thousands of Iranians. Any sane person should question his logic here. Why is Joe Kent advocating an escalation?

[Acyn @Acyn]

AOC: Do you think that $50 million is for free? Do you think it’s an act of charity? We know how this works. There’s $50 million in this race because they’re expecting a return. It’s an investment.

[Korobochka (コロボ) 🇦🇺✝️🇷🇺 @cirnosad]

Tempo will be dictated by intelligence gather and enemy decision making.

Iran must strike on actionable intelligence only. It's doing very well, and must have good on the ground sources, but it shouldn't merely trust them because they can be identified and then compromised.

That's why it's so important to confirm the kill, not using satellite footage but by strategically placing cameras in places where they know they will be pulling off repeat attacks.

[Pseudo Moi @moi_pseudo]

You watch the Boks and you think, man we have so much talent it’s almost unfair

And then you watch the u20s and you think, man we have so much talent where are we going to fit everyone in?

And then you watch Currie Cup and you think, man there’s so much bubbling under and coming through and overlooked that Rassie could cook just with these

And then you watch sevens and you think, man if these are the leftovers then woe to the world

And then you watch URC and you think, what in the everloving shambles is that?

[Alex Shams @alexshams_]

Why are American soldiers still dying in a war Trump started for no reason?

Why are they even in Jordan?

And why can't the US make a peace deal and actually comply with the terms?

These are the questions Americans should be asking right now.

[Korobochka (コロボ) 🇦🇺✝️🇷🇺 @cirnosad]

What do you mean, Trumpanzee is chimping out right now. He said he'd "open the gates of hell" on Iran, a Saddam-esque threat I usually hear from the side that's about to lose.

F**k them up Iran, do NOT stop, increase the tempo, keep doing exactly what you're doing now.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

We should have known what they were up to when they renamed it from the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
