The relaxation of sanctioned Iran oil may well be an inducement for talks. Iran surprisingly has given Trump some kind of win by announcing that their Natanz nuclear facility has been hit and damaged. Unusual admission. According to sources, White House is split between 2 camps and Trump is beginning to distance himself from Netanyahu. Trump announced the operation is winding down. IRan has reached out to Turkey for back channel talks. Hopefully they can put an end to this senseless Israel war.

USS Tripoli is a massive 45,000 tons vessel. His weight and 850 foot length will made maneuvering the constrained 10 miles wide and heavily mined waterway of the Straits of Hormuz very difficult and have to slow down considerably making the vessel vulnerable to missiles and land batteries. Just the type of target that Iran desired to inflict high casualties.

Fine with Comey who can finally revealed information under oath that Trump and his goons are trying to suppressed. Federal prosecutor Jason walking a thin line and may followed past Trump's lawyers like Chesebro, Guilliani, Jenna and Eastman to lose his licence.

This could be a concession to Iran to bring them back to the negotiation table. For all the big bluster about Iran dying for a ceasefire negotiation, Iran outrightly rejected and extinquished all hopes. Iran demand financial reparations for war damages and binding security gurantees against future aggression before resuming any talks. Lifting of oil sanctions may be a source of financial reparation. I guess TACO Trump blinked and the first step may have been been laid. The next few days may tell more and I sincerely hope it will be positive news.

Those savings were to compensate for tax cuts to the billionaires. US billionaires wealth surged 22% to a record $8.2 trillion largely driven by tax cuts and market manupulation in Trump's second term. Number of billionaires also increased. It is boom time for the billionaires while most sufferred. Add on Trump piling up the National debt which will slow growth and increase unemployment. Harsh is an under statement. The reality is dire.

This is a very dangerous escalation. Attacking economic infrastructure is a war crime. Israel is going scorched earth and the White House Dumbo still don't realize the fast moving escalation and even admit to war crimes by encouraging eonomic targets. Iran still has one more card to play which will bring more havoc to the region and the world. The Houthi has been quiet so far and they have the capability to significantly disrupt or close the Bab el-Mandeb Straits, a vital shipping lane connecting the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. A big chunk of global oil and trade flows through this strait. Dumbo must wised up and stop Israel from further escalation. He just ain't smart enough to see that he has been played by Netanyahu or that he is just afraid of the pro-Israel lobbyists.

He is no better than a whore who received millions from pro-Israel interest groups. Trump too has his mega donor Miriam Adelson who help him win the 2024 election. This is a Israel war paid and supported by America. There really no benefit for America.

He will add USD3 trillion to the National debt before the fall election. It is heading towards USD40 trillion from USD37 trillion during Biden. The same lying man who promised to reduce the national debt.

USA under Trump is now a pariah country. Outcast in the international community, subjected to diplomatic isolation and severe stigma due to policies that violate global norm.

They took out Ali Khamenei thinking regime change. Didn't happen. Replaced a pragmatic conservative for a hardliner who lost his father, mother, wife and son. Then they took out Larijani, a moderate conservative and likely replaced with Saeed Jalili who is a radical conservative and expect the regime to give up power. Serious mis-calculation. You killed diplomacy for assassinations, deaths and bombs that only galvanized and hardened their resolve to resist and revenge.

Another of Trump’s disregard of international law including the UN Charter and human rights standards by blocking and economic embargo on Cuba. He is a rogue President.

I don’t blame UK and allies to be muted to be directly involved. Might be different if they were consulted and strategy coordinated before taking military action. The consequence of this poorly planned attack is that European countries have no choice but to implement defensive posture.

Most Islamic or rather muslim migrants are economic migrants, persecuted or from wars. They migrate and struggle for a better life. Majority unlikely to be involved in ideology. Not to say that there are no domestic terrorism. Could be racial or ethnically motivated. Not entirely religious driven. For example white supremacist extremism is the top domestic terrorism threat in the US.

13 dead and 200 injured US military service personnel and not including thousands dead in Iran and middle-east countries, billions spent on war, caused a global economic crisis and he said this casually and callously. Maybe we shouldn’t even be there’Impeached this demented mad fool and save the country and the world.

Since you mention lying. Trump is a pathological liar. He even has the audacity to lie that he spoke to a former president who he claimed confessed that he wish to do what Trump has done. All 4 previous Presidents came out strongly and denied speaking to Trump. This lying guy is the President of the world greatest superpower ! Jesus wept.
