The USA’s actions tonight in Iran just put the whole Arab Gulf at greater risk.

Instead of targeting IRGC military installations and leaders, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ destroyed energy infrastructure & a water desalination plant.

The total opposite of winning friends & influencing people.

Israel is using the 'Gaza doctrine' in Lebanon and Iran For years, Israel used the "Dahiya doctrine" in Gaza. Now it's using the "Gaza doctrine" in Dahiya β€” and Tehran.

"Smotrich toured the border with Lebanon and vowed that 'very soon, Dahiya will look like Khan Younis.'"

"Gaza has become the new model for how asymmetric wars are waged."

"For too long, we've been bombing and invading Muslim countries and not giving enough attention to the Spanish-speaking ones in our own hemisphere. It's time we got back to bombing and invading them, too."

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse β€” and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

What I hope Harris does is keep hammering away on exposing those who raped kids as part of Epstein's operation and puttung the pedophiles away. She's great when she unleashes her inner prosecutor.

Dear Russia,

Iran's fire is making oil prices spike.

Spiking oil prices makes economic problems for us, so we're making it easier for you to sell more oil.

In sum, Iranian military success against us reduces economic pressure on you.

Just, you know, FYI.

Sincerely,
The geniuses leading America

President Trump remarks on plans for Cuba at "Shield of the Americas" summit in Florida: "Cuba's in its last moments of life as it was. It'll have a great new life…That'll be an easy one."

He added: "I'm not learning your damn language. I don't have time."

Honestly don’t think this is the real goal. It’s just more spaghetti against the wall to rationalize the war.

And that isn't Harris (and it's one of the reasons Trump won).

Candidates who ran and lost and have no chance at winning next time should support who's next.

Not really the point. Harris saying "I told you so" doesn't help anyone. There are plenty of Black women saying great things. Harris can do great work on issues. But this was making it about herself in what seems a pretty pointless way.

The Dems also need people who will stand against genocide.

The biggest problem with Big Tech is that the people who own it want the power over other people that it gives them.
