At least 13 American service members are dead, 400 injured, $50+ billion spent, gas prices near a record high. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime went from Khamenei to Khamenei and the Strait of Hormuz went from open to closed. I’d say that qualifies as being in a worse position.
Whenever there's even the mere possibility of US/Iran negotiations, one thing tis certain: Israel will act immediately to destroy any such possibility, because Israel's goal is to lure the US to destroy the entire Iranian state and render it permanently shattered.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Selling federal land for $10billion to address the national debt is like selling the family cat for $28 because I have $100,000 in student loan debt and 'every little bit helps!' while meanwhile the Big Beautiful Bill is putting another $10k on my credit card.
If we showed up in Mexico burning cars, waving American flags and screaming that we refused to go home... I think they'd probably just shoot us within about an hour.
Germany detonates its most modern coal-fired power plant after just six years.
The Moorburg plant in Hamburg cost €3 billion and produced 1,654 MW, enough to power the entire city.
They demolished it because Greta said so.
Putin & Xi are laughing.
