“A country that will elect somebody like that twice is not a country anyone can rely on. …it’s not a country anybody can trust for anything. And that, even more than the price of oil, is going to be the legacy of this war.”

Report: Jared Kushner & Israeli-aligned White House officials are supplying Trump with false intelligence about the war on Iran.

The disinformation "downplays Iran’s missile attack frequency & minimizes the casualties caused by Iraqi & Lebanese resistance strikes."

"Senior officials, including... Hegseth & Rubio, have been steering Trump toward a broader escalation plan”.
