So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Turning war into spectacle marks a collapse of public ethics. When bombing raids are packaged as content and crowds react like it’s a highlight reel, the dead vanish behind the screen. A society that treats human suffering as entertainment corrodes its conscience.

Citing national security, President Trump issued an abrupt order last month compelling the production of glyphosate, the controversial weedkiller known as Roundup. The order also protected the U.S.’s only supply of a controversial, highly flammable munition.

Where is our humanity? Being a warfighter doesn’t mean we slaughter innocent children. Did we not learn anything from Vietnam?

This is insane. Hegseth’s β€œNo rules of engagement” is a license to commit war crimes with impunity. The Trump regime is now a t e r r o r i s t organization.
