That sound you are *not* hearing is Donald Trump rebuking his pal Vladimir Putin for providing Iran with specific locations of American troops to kill them.

Instead, Donald is *easing* sanctions on Russia.

He is despicable.

Trumps loyalty to Putin is one of the most astonishing continuities of Trumps presidency.

Putin is our enemy. He's helping Iranian soldiers target American soldiers and assets.

Zelenskyy is our friend. He's helping American soldiers shoot down Iranian drones.

Most Americans understand these basic facts.

Trump, for whatever reason, does not.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

A hardline, younger government in Tehran, no mass uprising, nuclear program unchanged, a nation that resisted a superpower bully

A war crime in Minab. 8 dead U.S. service members. Soaring gas prices in a wounded economy

Let's be honest. If war ends now (and it should!) the Trump regime has lost it

If Bellingcat has confirmed this, then surely the Pentagon knows it hit the girls’ school too β€” and is simply lying to us about that fact right now.

This should be unacceptable in a thousand different ways.

Six years ago this week, an unplanned disaster engulfed the world. Trump catastrophically mismanaged it. The economy collapsed and 1m+ died.

Now reelected, he’s on the verge of topping that, only this time the disaster is entirely of his own making.

The results may be even worse.

The Middle East is a distraction Europe simply cannot afford.

Our primary focus must remain on helping Ukraine defeat Russia.

If Putin wins on our doorstep, nothing else matters.

We need to arm Ukraine, sanction Russia, and finish the job

Trump can’t expect Europe’s help dealing with Iran while disengaging from Europe and abandoning Ukraine.

You can’t demand European solidarity in the Middle East while leaving us alone against Russian aggression.

It goes both ways

Here's our 🎢 parody version of Barry McGuire's 1965 "Eve of Destruction" that we've modernised to turn to current US adventurism. We're calling it: "Grief and Destruction" πŸš€

Trump on January 22, 2020 when the CDC confirmed the first US covid case: β€œWe have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine.”

Targeting desalination plants is an incredible double edged sword. Iran is extremely vulnerable, but so are the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. If pushed to the brink, Iran could easily depopulate much of the region. Iran already struck Israel’s largest desalination plant three days ago.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.

A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.

Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt β€” an historic high.

Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.

β€œGolden Age” for whom?

US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to Fox: β€œOn Friday, there was $100 million of gold that came from Venezuela to the United States.

β€œThe people of Venezuela are gonna be putting up a statue of Trump as a great liberator.”

Even though the entire regime was left in place and nothing changed.

The MAGA strategy to end democracy in America is similar to that used by other "populist" parties, and is something carefully developed by the Russian intelligence services over many decades.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.
