"The Iran conflict has been sold to the public as a story with a clear objective, to stop their nuclear program, punish its proxies, restore deterrence, and then, by magic, stability reigns. But when you dig deeper, you don’t find a coherent plan; you find a chaotic conflict with no endgame. There is no path toward resolution, but rather an endless catastrophe."

"The father of a dead U.S. serviceman has denied claims by Pete Hegseth that he told the Defense Secretary to 'not stop until the job is done' – referring to the war in Iran.

'No, I didn’t say anything along those lines,' Charles Simmons told NBC News in an interview Thursday, recalling his encounter with Hegseth at the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware."

"I Resigned 23 Years Ago from the U.S. Government over the Bush War on Iraq …And Wish I Had More Resignations to Give!"

By Colonel (Ret.) Ann Wright - March 20, 2026

"On March 19, 2003, I resigned from the U.S. Department of State. I was the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia, and the third U.S. government employee to resign in opposition to the U.S. war on Iraq.

I resigned on the day the Bush administration began the ten-year U.S. war on Iraq, March 19, 2003.
23 years later, I don’t regret my decision one bit

President Bush, like presidents before and after him, lied. His specific lie was about the reason for the U.S. to attack and kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.

In 2003, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Powell’s lie was about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction despite international weapons inspectors being clear in their statements that, after performing an exhaustive investigation, there were no weapons of mass destruction.

Instead, Bush was following the advisers who wrote the Project for a New American Century guidebook which called for the overthrow of seven countries in the Middle East, and Iraq was the first to be overthrown."

Opinion | Trump Is Hiding the Truth About the War in Iran

Whatever short-term gain the president thinks he is getting by lying about the war in Iran is far exceeded by the cost, for him, the country and the world.

The New York Times
This is sickening. The public broadcaster (ARD) in #Germany is downplaying the AfD neo-Nazi position by refering to their #antimigration #policies and #sentiments as #scepticism. No, they are opposed to #migration. They are openly debating #deportstionnof all with a #migrant background. Even people who have been here for generations. Scepticism is doubt and uncertainty. They are very certain that migration is bad, contrary to #reality and actual #data. Typical #conservative like, #fear and #lies
