@LauraLoomer Here’s the thing Laura….when you promote and celebrate the assassination of another country’s leader (and their family)…. this can end up being the case.
In order to get out us of this war before it gets even worse, Trump has to focus on the two main things:
1) Restraining Israel: tell Bibi “no”. Ignore the Pickaxe Mountain bait—stop chasing the nuclear dust, that’s a perpetual trap. Demand that Israel withdraw from Lebanon, otherwise we will cut off all U.S. military aid.
Remember—Israel got us into this mess, that has been confirmed. Don’t keep falling for their ploys to escalate.
2) Opening the straits: SOH & BAM. First, get our troops out of the region. Then use diplomacy & economic incentives to get the oil flowing again.
Ignore the hype that our sanctions are going to bring down the regime—Iran is not going to crumble from economic suffering. The pain they can inflict by weaponizing the SOH is far greater than the pain we can by imposing more sanctions.
Trump needs to take advantage of this rapidly-closing window of opportunity and leave now, while he still can. In doing so, he’ll have pulled us out of the region and redirected all focus back on issues affecting Americans here at home. That is a win.
If we resume strikes, we’ll end up escalating into an all-out war with boots on the ground, resulting in catastrophic losses to American lives and resources, and crippling the economy—Trump won’t be able to come back from that.
NEW: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is demanding in a new letter that Mitch McConnell "directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign."
🇮🇱🇵🇸🇱🇧 If this isn't genocide, I don't know what is...
Israeli Defense Minister Katz, earlier:
"24 Lebanese villages, hundreds of years old, we destroyed all the buildings, not house by house, but entire villages.
Their destruction has been completed. You need to understand: 15,000 to 20,000 homes across all 24 villages have been destroyed."
In the same interview:
"In Gaza, we destroy not only what is underground but also all the houses.
Today, nearly 70% of Gaza has been destroyed."
