Actually, ace reporter Paul Rudnick discovered
the real reasons that "European leaders gave
for not helping Trump with his #IranWar,
better known as #OperationEpicFailure:

- Trump offered no free hats,
- There was an odor from his diaper,
- They had a fear of having to hear Lara Trump sing,
- Trump included a demand to call it the Strait of Trump-Hormuz, and
- Everyone was still waiting for their tariff refunds."

Where the War With Iran Goes From Here

Very few people, @kibcol1049 & @Arapalla, will believe that #NATO is to blame for a war Trump started without consulting NATO, especially because #PutinsPuppet still has not clearly said why he started #OperationEpicFailure. This war helps Russia economically by driving up the price of Russian oil. I think the war's purpose was to help Russia, which Trump is always willing to do. A loyal American president would punish Russia when he learned that Russians are helping Iranians to kill Americans.

"F.C.C. Chair Threatens to Revoke Broadcasters’ Licenses Over War Coverage":
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/world/middleeast/fcc-broadcasters-iran-war.html
The media is expected by Trump to cheer a war that was started for no known purpose and that earned the nickname #OperationEpicFailure. "Democratic lawmakers and free-speech watchdogs were quick to condemn Mr. Carr’s threat as a violation of the First Amendment."

If Pres. Trump cared about affordability we would not be having the #IranWar which wastes money and increases the prices of oil, plastics, and food. This means that Trump must have had a good reason to start #OperationEpicFailure, he just won't honestly tell us what that reason is. Those thoughts were inspired by this #PoliticalCartoon by Matt Davies:

In response to news that Israel's military "strike resulted in nearly the entire medical team, including doctors, paramedics, and nurses being killed" Jon Favreau wrote:

"Israel is killing medical workers, the United States is killing little kids, and together the two countries have killed more than 2,000 human beings. Just 3 weeks in."

If only we had a corporate media that spoke the truth, the way our European allies do:
Handelsblatt is “Germany's foremost business & financial newspaper”
How many more must die?
Why we must support independent media in America
