    I keep hope alive, b/c I don't know another way to live.

    But that said, all Trvmp news is now boring b/c you could run his every day, every action, and every post with a bot. No AI required. It's just totally predictable. Seriously, is anyone not saying "of course he posted that" each time you see updates? Yawn.

    It's like a rude and stupid version of Eliza.

    Haha. Yeah, I guess it's part of cognitive decline, but his shtick does seem much more predictable than it once was. I'm not sure people find him to be "good TV" anymore, which was really his calling card and one of his superpowers.

    The terms ceasefire and negotiations seem meaningless anymore. The US wants the "uranium dust" and Iran isn't going to give it up. No agreement is going to be reached.

    The US is stalling as it's aircraft carrier takes the long route all the way around Africa to join in on what he and Hegseth can't wait to blow Iran to smithereens and start loading up uranium.

    Meanwhile Israeli military officials told reporters during a briefing on Saturday that “the ‘Yellow Line’ model implemented in Gaza will be replicated in Lebanon. The military officials added that residents will not be allowed to return to 55 Lebanese towns and villages within that area.

    In Gaza, Israeli troops routinely fire on anyone approaching the line and have demolished hundreds of homes in the effective buffer zone. Israeli attacks have killed more than 700 people and wounded around 2,000 since the US-brokered “ceasefire” was agreed last October.

    Thousands of children are dead, thousands injured, thousands orphaned, thousands in a humanitarian crisis, and thousands more to come. From Ukraine to these Middle Eastern never ending wars it's all so disturbing. Whether the initiators of attacks are terrorists, Iraq, Iran, the US, Israel, Afghanistan, Russia, the Saudis, Syria, or anyone else there always seems to be killing fields full of kids in those regions, and the initiators of the attacks always try to justify their killings by religion against evil or some other crap. I guess killing innocent civilians and children isn't evil in their eyes.

    The Trumpers are so proud their President speaks like this. Still hard to believe.

    Add in Hegseth. He loves that crap. Trump has those two urging him on 24/7.

    Sixty-one percent of Americans said the United States should not take further military action against Iran.

    Iran isn't going to give up uranium in a deal and Trump won't approve anything less. We are going in circles at this point, and Iran vows to retaliate after the US seized it's ship.

    Meanwhile, Trump just makes up his fake approval rating on himself and the war, even though his approval is plunging, and at an all time low.

    Sixty-eight percent of Americans disapprove of Mr. Trump’s management of inflation and the cost of living, including 52% who strongly disapprove — numbers that mirror his standing on Iran, where two-thirds similarly disapprove of his handling of the conflict.

    Here's the thing. Iran was attacked without provocation. We are the bad guys.

    That's saying something when talking about an oppressive cruel regime like Iran.

    From a moral standpoint I have zero problem with us or anyone else attacking Iran for the purpose of deposing the current regime. It's a murderous death cult that has basically been at war with the entire non-Muslim world since day one.

    Timing, strategy, and logistic concerns abound, however.

    I have a moral problem with us attacking Iran (We aren't the world police, and we certainly can't claim moral superiority while bombing civilians). I have no moral objections to Israel attacking Iran, because Iran is a threat to them and constantly prodding them through their proxies.

    Not sure if mentioned. We disabled and boarded a container ship, after 6 hours of warning.

    This ex- Geen Beret is a good follow for ship traffic in the area. He somewhat expects an announcements today that it has military contraband on it.
