Close buddy, close. But not quite.
The Iranian ship sunk by Trump and Hegseth in their illegal terrorist war of choice had been invited to India to participate in an exhibition, and was unarmed.
Earlier thread about Iran, from 2025, is here:
"One user named “Magamyman” made $553,000 from Iran bets placed on the eve of war. In one of their many bets, they wagered $32,000 early morning on Feb. 28, hours before the strikes began, and correctly predicted there would be strikes that day, when the Polymarket odds said there was only a 17% chance."
https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/07/politics/iran-war-prediction-markets-polymarket-kalshi
"Some Democrats also pointed out that the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., joined Polymarket’s advisory board last year and his conservative venture capital fund, 1789 Capital, invested an undisclosed amount in the company. Trump Jr. also serves as an adviser to Kalshi.*
Kalshi is another betting site
So it looks like the girls school was hit by a United States tomahawk missile. Trump lied and it wasn't Iran (which of course we all knew),
They think the girls school was incorrectly identified as a military building on outdated information.
Pete Hegseth, after he assumed office, scaled back to a skeleton crew the office that ensures that civilian buildings aren't hit.
This probably makes for quite an easy claim against him
" ... He added: “We’ve knocked out most of their missiles. We’ve knocked out most of their drones. We knocked out their manufacturing of missiles and drones, largely. Within two days, it’ll be totally decimated.” "
A Shahed drone has a range of 2,500 km + can reach the Strait of Hormuz from anywhere in Irsn.
What even is this man Trump talking about. He's talking nonsense. That's what.
Benjamin Netanyahu says "do you really think that anyone can convince Trump what to do?" when it was put to him that Israel told Trump to go to war.
Of course we do. Trump is a moron and easily manipulated.
He made his choice and he's not exonerated for it, of course, but it's absolutely possible to sway him. Russia has been swaying him for years. He's a Russian asset.
By the way, that guy (the one responsible for the war crimes in Gaza) is staying out of jail by going to war with everybody around him.
We've really let the top political positions be filled by just the absolute best human beings on Earth haven't we. 🤡
If you want to read a fun story about Putin manipulating Trump, here's one from Trump's former Russian affairs advisor:
Benjamin Netanyahu says that he won't attack certain gas fields because Trump asked him to.
But he says Trump didn't get dragged into the war because he asked Trump to.
He has also said repeatedly that Trump is a very good friend of his.
🤡
Benjamin Netanyahu now comparing Jesus Christ to Genghis Khan.
"During the press conference, Netanyahu said, “You know, if people want to be naive, then they don’t see the kind of world we’re living in. In this world, it’s not enough to be moral. It’s not enough to be just. It’s not enough to be right.”
...
... You know, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, someone that I admire a lot, was the historian Will Durant,” Netanyahu continued. “Now, he wrote many volumes—I read most of them—he also wrote The Lessons of History, a very brief, 100-page book, in which he said, well, history proves that, unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan.”
...
... Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good,” Netanyahu said. “Aggression will overcome moderation.”

I'm not upset about the comment. Just make it an exhibit at his trial for war crimes. Thank you very much.
Trump now saying NATO are cowards for not joining in his stupid ill-conceived incompetently-run "war".
Pete Hegseth was very upset the military discharged him and now he's running it and his mental powers extend as far as "we need money to kill bad guys".
I did not ask to be in this Netflix comedy special based on Idiocracy, and I am not enjoying it.
" "Gregg Phillips, appointed last year to lead FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery, made the jaw-dropping teleportation claim in a January 2025 appearance on the right-wing podcast Onward, before he had the top role at the agency.
“I was with my boys one time and I was telling them I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House. And I ended up at a Waffle House — this was in Georgia and I end up at a Waffle House like 50 miles away from where I was,” Phillips said.
...
...
“And they said, ‘where are you?’ and I said, ‘A Waffle House.’ And ‘a Waffle House where?’ And I said, ‘Waffle House in Rome, Georgia.’ And they said, ‘That’s not possible, you just left here a moment ago.’ But it was possible. It was real.”
Phillips also shared fantasies about hurting former President Joe Biden with Onward host Catherine Engelbrecht.""
I can't even.
Just apropos the waffle teleportation guy, a reminder that Tucker Carlson had a dream that he was being attacked by interdimensional beings.
So these people are quite literally out of their minds. In addition to being child rapists and criminals.
"Donald Trump once said, "Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective." "
True.
" Trump made the remarks about U.S. President Barack Obama in November 2011."

Has anyone seen any confirmation that the United States attacked an Iranian desalination plant?
"On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the United States of striking a desalination plant in southern Iran."
Actually that's a great article for discussion of how energy intensive desalination is. Perhaps not everybody is aware how energy intensive it is to get salt out of water.
If you do it yourself, you boil the water and condense it elsewhere without the impurities. That requires the energy to boil the water completely. Desalination plants use reverse osmosis.
Either way it is unwinding a very stable energy state, and that's very costly. Very much like removing carbon dioxide from the air.
Anyway anyway ... best before dates are hardly even recommendations. Canned food lasts for years beyond that date. Frozen food is good too.
Boy, I really thought we left this behind after the pandemic but I guess not. Fun times. Got to love Republican criminals. Just ... the worst people on Earth
Here is Trump saying Obama will start a war with Iran to get elected, and that you have to exhaust other possibilities before you go to war to stop them from having nuclear weapons.
"We have a President who does not know anything about negotiations."
We certainly do.
https://web.archive.org/web/20111204010244/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWqRIasCf5A
Here's a map showing Qeshm Island on which that desalination plant was located.
It may or may not be outfitted with drones to attack ships, apparently. Clearly a good place to put them, although why use flying drones if you can use underwater ones these days.
By the way "artificial intelligence" was used in the "kill chain" in Netanyahu's War of Collective Punishment and War Crimes in Gaza that he Started to Keep Himself from Facing Jail.
It is called Lavender. (The AI, I mean. Not Netanyahu's Desperate War-To-Remain-A-Free-Man)
So it's not just Palantir's Maven that's out there.
Trump gets a TWO MINUTE VIDEO "BRIEFING" of the war.
This is because he is the laziest man on the face of the planet. I shall provide some links in a moment.
WASHINGTON — Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said
Link to thread about Trump's laziness:
Warnings that inflation could hit 8% if energy system stays disrupted.
Increases are already hitting fertilizer costs, and the inflation for that will hit consumers in the coming months (it hasn't already).
Edit: That's for the countries that can pay. The ones that can't pay the higher prices simply won't get fuel.
So Iran has sent their plan back.
It includes recognition of a sovereign right over the Strait of Hormuz and also war reparations.
So yeah, it sounds like the parties are basically settled. 🤡
Long-term mortgage rates are going up

Trump in his cabinet meeting said "We will come to nato's rescue but they will never come to ours"
Wait.
Why would NATO have to come to your rescue if you're winning the war?
Absolute clown show. (No offense to professional clowns. I'm just using the phrase.)
"Within the first two weeks of the war, Iran’s attacks on U.S. military bases caused an estimated $800 million in damage, according to a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a BBC analysis.
When the war began, there were close to 40,000 troops in the region. Now some of them have been removed as far as Europe, while many struggle to prosecute a work-from-home war."

Iranian hackers have broken into Kash Patel's e-mail account.

After they had read the word "bro" for the 26th time in ten e-mails, the hackers quickly left, setting a strong password on the way out the door.
This is good right? Attacking water plants?
This makes stonks go up right?
Korean markets down 5%. Japanese down 5%. Others down less. US futures down Sunday night.
So
Much
Winning
Remember when he said we would all get tired of the winning? I am tired of this winning. He was right.
Are you ready for all the winning of paying twice as much for food by September of 2026?

It's going to be fun when inflation hits 4 or 5% because of this. By fun I mean a disaster.
And poorer countries are not going to be able to afford fuel shortly.
I like this commentator's point which is don't track Trump's comments, track the administration's movements.
And right now they have moved troops to the Middle East.
