You see boys and girls, if you want to take Putin out of the Kremlin and control all Soviet oilfields, this is how you do it. Start from Venezuela, then Iran, Russia will fall in less than one year seeing the effort NATO has already put in over the years to break up the Soviet Union. Then China will be the last one standing before we run over Shanghai.
Release the Epstein Files
“The hour’s top story, our glorious freedom fight in Iran is going well, and Dear Leader’s bravery will bring peace everywhere!” – The Media, probably
Now watch as Warren does nothing that stops it from happening.
She will SLAM the Republicans and rip their shirts for show. That’s the role for democrats fascism.
I was under the impression that Trump launched this war to have a pretense to give money to the weapons industry. Because more weapons -> higher profit -> higher stock valuations, and as we all know, Everything’s Fine as long as the Dow Jones is over 50k.
Like, literally anything that happens makes the economy go up, as long as anything happens at all. When you build schools, the economy goes up, because somebody has to build these schools. When you build rail network, economy goes up. When you start a war and produce lots of weapons, economy goes up.
I wonder why the economy is always made to go up in ways that hurt people, instead of ways that, you know, actually help people.
You can also increase social spending and make the economy go up because people have money to spend. Except that’s communism.
Trump launched this war to have a pretense to give money to the weapons industry
Lol, like any US president needs justification for that ever. I mean it’s a geopolitical event and the military-industrial complex certainly is one of the major lobby groups pushing for this (or any) confrontation, not disputing that.
But the immediate reason for Trump seems to be the (seemingly working) distraction from the escalating Epstein scandal. He already learned that war and the resulting market volatility is a great way to “flood the zone with shit” when he attacked Iran last year, and that being his primary objective also neatly accounts for the apparent lack of an exit strategy and clearly defined war goals.
Again, not saying it’s the only reason why this war is happening in general, but probably the main one to Trump anyway. Which Warren seems to be confirming with her testimony here, saying there is simply no coherent reason presented for it even under secrecy.
Sen. Angus King, the independent from Maine, said it’s “very disturbing” that Trump took the U.S. to war because Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to bomb Iran. Past U.S. presidents, he said, “have consistently said, ‘No.’”
"Busy droning children, maybe later.”
Obama, probably
The problem is the President shouldn’t be ABLE to say yes or no. It’s not their call.
The Founders, supposedly
(someone always abuses power, that’s why we have checks and balances. supposedly)

The story keeps changing because they don’t want to admit that this was done to touch off Armageddon, and bring on The Rapture. The soldiers were specifically told that by their commander. The reason is literally “because God told us to.”
At least 200 soldiers have filed formal complaints.
Do you have a source for that quote? I would like to send it to some people.
It’s not a controversial issue, or a conspiracy theory. It’s been well-documented:
their commander had “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ”.
“He said that ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth’”, the NCO added.
US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges
This feels relevant in light of recent events:
There’s a huge number of articles about it
We need better numbers.
The very best numbers, like no one has ever seen before. Big numbers, strong numbers, decimals streaming down their faces.

Things are looking up… for Iran.
I am not asking for much, I just want the US to lose to Iran even more decisively and quickly than it lost to Afghanistan, and for Tel Aviv to look like Rafah today.

oh! firefox translate doesn’t give me much of a meaningful translation, but it seems to be about north korea?
It is tricky to translate since it is not in Standard Arabic. It basically contrasts the sorry state of the Arab World at the mercy of the US with North Korea’s resilient and heroic opposition to the US. Here’s a translation:
If only I were North Korean,
Standing tall, my head held high.
Embarrassing that fool Bush,
Crushing his head beneath my sandals.
If only I were North Korean,
Never yielding, never wavering,
Never once showing cowardice,
Never bowing in humiliation or compromise.
My head as firm as the mountains.
If only I were North Korean,
Saying with a thunderous voice:
“We do not fear you, you deluded one.
Do whatever you wish —
You don’t know the men you’re facing.”
If only I were North Korean,
Never once in his life did he submit,
Never allowed his palace to be searched,
His hands and waist never trembled,
And he twisted the ropes with confidence.
If only I were North Korean,
Saying: “I have a reactor for you,
Producing thousands of bombs,
With range reaching all the way to New York,
You fool, son of fools.”
If only I were North Korean,
I’d burn you in the middle of your home —
You and everyone who joined your war.
Don’t think I’m Mubarak,
Nor am I Saddam in my foolishness.
If only I were North Korean,
The Arabs are a strong nation,
But their zeal betrayed them,
Ignorance slaughtered them,
And their foundation became people of foolishness.
If only I were North Korean,
If we had walked upon the path of Islam,
We would not have been defeated nor lost,
By God’s will we would have triumphed,
And gained honor and beauty.
If only I were North Korean…
Oh, North Korean…
well, north korea does not have oil afaik, so there’s no reason for the us to invade …
Iran will target Israeli nuclear site if Israel and US seek regime change, military official says

Iran will target Israeli nuclear site of Dimona if Israel and the U.S. seek regime change, the Iranian semi-official ISNA news agency reported, citing an Iranian military official said.
Why would they warn them?
“Wow, are you going to give further details?”
“Then we might have to actually do something, so… no. But hey, elections are coming up! Maybe we can form a committee to look into it in the next ten to sixteen months if we win.”
Hey, friendly reminder that this bitch voted for Marco Rubio right along with everyone else in the Senate.
They’re all compromised…all of them.
Please don’t use that sexist insult.
Please don’t police the language of others
It’s literally my job.
Please get a real job
Had Liz Warren come in behind Bernie in 2020, we would have stood a chance stopping the party from ordaining Genocide Joe, even with their cheating. Instead she lied and said he secretly revealed how sexist he is to only her, and the neolib media shouted it from the hilltops. And now we have Trump again because the guy who came in 5th before the party rigged the election for him was never viable to be reelected. Heckuba job, Warrie!
“You are right to be worried, the Trump administration has no plan in Iran,” Warren said
Ah, so it’s much better than I thought on one side.
Question is, how much of a plan does Iran have?The plan is civil war and failed state
Seems like they’ve been preparing for this for a long while.
Shades of “John Kerry would have done the Iraq war right!”
You mean the guy who was Defense Secretary when the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) was struck? The guy who explicitly avoided a war?
by not doing it?
Sen. Angus King, the independent from Maine, said it’s “very disturbing” that Trump took the U.S. to war because Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to bomb Iran. Past U.S. presidents, he said, “have consistently said, ‘No.’” Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii said the briefing left him with more questions than answers… While presidents have the authority as the commander in chief to conduct certain strategic military operations on their own, the Constitution vests Congress with the power to wage war. Before the Iraq War began in March 2003, Republican President George W. Bush made a monthslong push to secure congressional authorization. No such vote was attempted on Iran, and an earlier Senate effort to halt Trump’s actions after last summer’s strike on Iran failed.
While presidents have the authority as the commander in chief to conduct certain strategic military operations on their own, the Constitution vests Congress with the power to wage war.
So, the President DOESN’T have the authority as commander in chief to conduct certain strategic military operations on their own, according to this “constitution” guy.
He’s a moron, Presidents do this all the time. IN YOUR FACE CONSTITUTION
USA is a failed state
I guess with my first comment I won’t get a visa for the USA anymore
it’s performing well, if by state you mean “plutocratic cabal of business interests”
Failed states are often performing well for a small group. But Failed states are performing really bad for the vast majority of the population.
It’s a failed democracy / humane state. It’s doing wonderfully as a dictatorship. The rich are profiting quite a bit off this I’m sure.
monthslong
That’s a slong a month long. Is it missing a hyphen?
It always is, Liz.
It always is.
