Coupled with other signals I've been writing aboutβand a Post report suggesting a possible attack on Kharg Islandβthis is...bad.

ICYMI: The attack Hegseth wanted us to believe was on Cyprus has also now been explained. The strike was specifically on the US sector of a UK base in Cyprusβnot on Cypriot soil or on UK assets.
I am continuing to try to figure out what was behind the drone strike on Azerbaijan.

Lucifer has a point

Want to listen to one of the cult leaders? This grifting delusional contemptible PoS is the SPIRITUAL ADVISER to Trump, telling him that we are in a religious war against Islam that the Second Iran War is the culmination of. These lunatics will cause WW3.
Friends, itβs a cult. MAGA is a cult. Pleaseβfor Godβs sake, after a decadeβaccept this.
Accept it, internalize it, and then decide what you think America should do.
And as you think about that, think about all the other cults youβre aware of, what they did, and how they ended.

That looks *more* like a possible WW3
Six non-consecutive months of job losses. But we had to get rid of Biden because of the economy. Got it. ππ»
People online have been (in my view foolishly) suggesting that this is WWIII, or the *beginning stages* of WWIII, and my response has been, no, there is no possibility of that unless and until another major nuclear power intervβ

DONALD TRUMP KILLED 170 CHILDREN IN MINAB, IRAN AND THEN POSTED A SIZZLE REEL DECLARING "FLAWLESS VICTORY"
We are the bad guys.
We are the rogue nation we grew up being taught to fear and despise.
What MAGA sees vs. what the rest of the world sees
Not really what the regimeβthe American oneβhas been telling us, what with Trump screeching on Truth Social about "unconditional surrender" and Iran being at the point of collapse.

The decision capped a rapid downfall for the three-term lawmaker and former Navy cryptologist. bit.ly/4scTze5
U.S. forces likely bombed an Iranian elementary school on Feb. 28 during an operation targeting a nearby military base, a New York Times analysis suggests. It is the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran β and no side has yet taken responsibility.
