This is South Lebanon right now.
Israel is dropping bombs on civilian homes in Maarakah, Tyre.
American-made, American-supplied bombs.
The “ceasefire” is a lie.
@Duskblossom@CMerandi That’s terrible. I’m sorry you and your daughter had to go through this❤️🩹
This is how it is nowadays, so unfortunately.
I was lucky as a kid decades ago.
⭕️ BREAKING: New Soar Atlas satellite imagery appears to show damage at the U.S. Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait following yesterday’s Iranian attacks.
CENTCOM insisted yesterday that all incoming missiles and drones were “defeated,” but Kuwaiti authorities also released footage purporting to show an Iranian drone striking the country’s airport followed by a large explosion.
Here’s the latest analysis from @SoarAtlas:
People keep asking me what America is actually capable of, now that it has driven away every ally it has. The answer is not hypothetical. It is the Persian Gulf, right now.
Iran is a nation of 90 million people sitting on a mountain range that runs the entire length of its borders. Its military infrastructure is buried inside those mountains. Command centers, missile batteries, fuel depots, weapons production, all of it underground and dispersed across a country roughly the size of Western Europe. Operation Epic Fury struck approximately 6,000 targets.
Iran is still firing.
The Strait of Hormuz has been closed since late February. A quarter of the world’s daily oil supply has nowhere to go. The entrance is mined, patrolled and locked. And the most expensive military in human history is sitting outside it, unable to go in.
This is the moment to be honest about what America is missing.
Europe operates roughly 10,000 military aircraft. Not little propeller trainers. More than ten thousand combat-capable jets that would immediately transform the air campaign over the Gulf, free up American assets for the deep-penetration mountain missions that actually matter, and sustain an operational tempo no single nation can manage alone.
Britain fields two aircraft carriers and seven nuclear-armed hunter-killer submarines. France brings a nuclear carrier, fifteen frigates and its own nuclear submarine fleet. Belgium and the Netherlands operate the finest mine countermeasure vessels on earth, built specifically for strait-clearing operations of exactly this kind. Italy contributes two carriers and eight FREMM frigates. Poland has the largest land army in Europe. Norway has completed its conversion to the F-35 and fields fifty-two of them.
The map below shows some capabilities in Europe, but It represents only a fraction of what Europe actually has. It does not include Finland, Sweden, Spain, Romania, Greece or Portugal, each of which contributes substantial air power, naval tonnage and ground forces of their own. The full picture is considerably larger than what fits on one page.
And then there is Ukraine. Four years of industrial-scale warfare have produced the most battle-tested drone force in existence. Autonomous strike systems, mass swarm tactics and electronic warfare capabilities developed under live fire at a pace no peacetime military can replicate. An allied force with Ukrainian drone expertise integrated into it would look fundamentally different over the mountains of Iran than what America has there now.
European intelligence services have human networks inside Iran and across the Gulf that no satellite can replace. Germany and France maintained functioning diplomatic back-channels into Tehran until late 2025. That kind of quiet credibility is the difference between a negotiated shipping corridor and a permanent blockade. It cannot be improvised. It cannot be bombed into existence.
None of this is available, because Washington spent years treating its allies as freeloaders, adversaries and negotiating targets, and then went to war expecting the same loyalty it had spent years deliberately destroying.
The alliance built after 1945 was never charity. It was a force multiplier that no defense budget, however grotesque in size, can replace on its own. America is learning that now, at roughly a hundred million dollars per day in operational costs, with the strait still closed and the oil still not moving.
Trump was not acting in America’s interest. He was acting in the interest of a man who has never in his life had to live with the consequences of his own decisions. America is living with them now.

If the war on Iran was over, as Rubio testified to under oath today, WHY is the U.S. dropping bombs on Qeshm Island, forcing retaliatory strikes from Iran on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain?
There's no exit strategy.
All they do is LIE.
MAJOR BREAKING: Iran is currently attacking US Interests in Iraq, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
They are making us look like fools right now.
Trump is such a joke.
In Kronstadt, Saint Petersburg, Ukrainian "birds" struck the carrier of guided missile weaponry — the corvette "Boiky," which was undergoing scheduled maintenance.
This is in addition to the oil terminal 🔥
🇺🇦🇷🇺 SAINT PETERSBURG AIR DEFENCE LOOKS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED
Russian air defence in Saint Petersburg has reportedly been overwhelmed.
Ukrainian drones are pouring into Russia’s second most defended city, and Moscow’s security bubble suddenly looks a lot thinner than the propaganda promised.
This is not a border town.
This is Saint Petersburg.
A prestige city.
A political symbol.
A place Russia wants to present as protected, stable, and untouchable.
Instead, drones are flying in, air travel is disrupted, infrastructure is burning, and the Kremlin is being forced to explain why one of its most important cities cannot keep the war out of its own sky.
Trump is now redefining the term "ceasefire" so that he doesn't look like a failure.
Reporter: "How do you define ceasefire?"
Trump: "Uh, pretty much the way it is, it's a different part of the world. You know, I'd say in that part of the world ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner."
But don’t worry… if everyone just continues to ignores the dumpster fire, that is this administration, it will surely put itself out. 😒https://t.co/DyFx4wZckU
🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.
He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”
Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.
Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.
That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.
So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…
It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.
