With Trump, friendship is a bidding war. Outbid the Adelsons and you’re his new friend.
You're going to believe the MSM?Is everyone having a good time?
The media coverage has been awful. Pretty much all negative.
Exactly! What we need is a positive slant on war!!!You're going to believe the MSM?Is everyone having a good time?

Now we're hitting Iranian backed PMF troops near Mosul in Northern Iraq after yesterday's rocket attack on our base in Syria. Seeing some tweets saying Iraqi PM says they'll strike back, giving the PMF a green light to escalate things.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

That is crazy. Almost all possession convictions are plead down from more serious charges.
People don’t actually get tried for possession.

Dipshit…you need accurate reporting. We’ve kicked their ass militarily now how do we proceed from here. Can we do better than we did in Iraq once the bombing is over? It’s going to be difficult but there is opportunity as well.
Operation Epstein Fury, baby. Nobody is talking about the pedos anymore.
Remember the good ol' days when we had cool operation names like like Overlord, Barbarosa, Torch, and Market Garden?
This war with Iran has become a boon for Russia. The US lifting of sanctions on stranded Russian oil is estimated to yield $10 billion in revenue for Russia, almost certainly benefiting Putin's illegal war effort against Ukraine.
But it doesn't stop there. We've also temporarily lifted sanctions against the country we're at war with, Iran, in connection with 140 million barrels of oil at sea. That will generate somewhere between $14 billion and $15.7 billion in revenue for Iran. Kind of stunning and unprecedented. As the National Review describes it, "You don’t see countries lift sanctions on enemies when they’re at war very often." More from the National Review:
"The world uses about 102 million barrels of oil per day, so un-sanctioning the 140 million barrels at sea was unlikely to make a dramatic or lasting change in oil prices.
Also, "keep in mind, as of March 18, Iran had set up a system to effectively charge a toll to get through the Strait of Hormuz unmolested. Lloyd's List reports, “Iran has created a de facto ‘safe’ shipping corridor through its territorial waters in the Strait of Hormuz, offering vetted vessels passage in exchange for approval — and in at least one case, a reported $2 million payment.”
"That’s separate from the additional money that is going to Iran because of the higher price of oil . . . which is now past $8 billion according to the Kpler Institute's calculations.
"It was entirely right for conservatives to object to the Obama administration sending $1.7 billion in cash to the Iranian regime as part of a deal with Iran. But if you don’t like sending $1.7 billion in cash to the mullahs, you shouldn’t shrug at the consequences of the war that ends up putting more money into the hands of the regime.
"This war to eradicate Iran’s ability to threaten its neighbors and our allies . . . has resulted in Iran demonstrating its ability to threaten its neighbors and our allies, and its considerable leverage over the world’s energy markets. The Iranian regime is getting its tail kicked militarily but is showing it still has cards to play economically and geopolitically."

Whatever Trump says, I still think this smells like we are planning on invading Kharg Island.

This is an example of why this war should not have been started by or in coordination with a genocidal maniac, Netanyahu, but rather in close collaboration with rational thinkers, that is our military, and our western allies.
Win or lose, Trump done fvkd up.
Meanwhile, Israel planning for an extended stay in Lebanon.
The area they are talking about has nearly half a million residents, and includes the historically famous city of Tyre.
You might be right, but I find it hard to believe that’s what our military wants because I think they’ll be sitting ducks there.82nd Airborne now deploying.

Unless Iran has concerns about blowing up their oil facilities. So far it seems more likely that they’re in this to the death.
