Trump Is Dangerously Close to Sending Troops to Iran
According to the sources, administration officials and allies have told Trump that attacks from the air are not enough to accomplish Trump’s stated ideas of victory – though, to be fair, the president and his team are constantly changing how they would define a “victory” in their Iran war, which began with no clear mission and no coherent strategy beyond removing Iran’s top leaders and bombing the country, in partnership with Israel. In multiple conversations over the past few days, several of these officials and outside advisers have told the president that a more limited, smaller deployment of special forces will almost certainly not be enough, and that he’d need to send further ground troops to get what he wants.
Bombing video games are not enough. 1st Person Shooter games will really rev up support with the Incels.

Trump Fascism / Raw aggresion, the war report
Last post by K-Dog - Mar 07, 2026, 07:47 AMI do not want to see the video.
I get upset every time I hear 'Danger Zone' over the radio. Military recruitment and the normalization of combat. Combining pop-rock with military hardware produced "militainment." Upbeat, catchy hooks to celebrate state sponsored violence as a heroic coming-of-age story. And that is what the video is supposed to do.
When I hear it I think of adults with the minds of children. And I think of the money grubbing assholes who made the music to advance their own careers, not caring two fucks about what the words say.
Money not only talks, it can sing. And money gets the same thrill celebrating death as Trump gets when he pops the cherry of a 14 year old. But his new video of state sponsored violence is no heroic coming-of-age story. It is a story intended to hide Trump's not so heroic cumming in under-age stories.
This is more appropriate to the actual circumstances.

Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays 'Hail to the Chief'
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

Is this really what collapse and doom has been reduced to? Recession? Cost of living increases?
After having all sorts of other dooms thoroughly discredited all along the way this century, is this really all we've got left? Recession? Political disagreements? I at least get the political disagreements, for all the complaining about the horrors of the neocons, the Oligarchs have certainly unleashed idiots-R-us in a big way this time. As far as idiots-R-us being doom...well...maybe all that IS left is pretending recessions are the outcome of idiots in charge. Be they Republicrat or Democan. It isn't as though any other group has been able to gain traction against the Oligarchs.

‘Operation Epstein Distraction’: Trump’s bloody Iran ‘hype videos’ seem to target niche audience
One video, released on Thursday and captioned “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY”, is less than a minute long but manically mixes footage from iconic action movies such as Braveheart, Gladiator, and Iron Man with apparently real footage of American ordnance striking Iranian military targets. Pulsing, fast-paced electronic dance music plays in the background as Russell Crowe, in Gladiator, says, “Strength and honor,” and a face-painted Mel Gibson, in Braveheart, demands: “What will you do without freedom?” (It is unclear if the White House obtained permissions for the film and music in these clips, though it seems not.) Another video, captioned “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue”, opens with someone calling in an air-strike in the style of Call of Duty, the first-person-shooter video game. Thumping music starts and the video segues into a series of clips of US bombs destroying Iranian vehicles and facilities. As each target is destroyed, a video-game heads-up display announces that the viewer has scored another 100 points.

‘After’ the Rojava Revolution? Rethinking Political Hope in a Post-Autonomy Syria
Since early 2026, Rojava in North East Syria, has been under renewed assault by the new Syrian regime. A majority-Kurdish region, Rojava has, for more than 12 years been home to one of the world’s largest experiments in democratic autonomy and ecological living.
Justin mentioned Rojava
Construction of the communalist revolution: the experience of Rojava
The Autonomous Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria, which emerged in 2012 in the context of the Syrian civil war, is not only an initiative of regional self-management; it also represents the most successful political experience of the paradigm of democratic modernity developed by Öcalan.
There was talk about where to get news. Nobody mentioned the below source.
Washington’s War on Iran: The Importance of Defending Information Space
The US has demonstrably continued its war on Iran through the execution of long-laid plans aimed at destabilizing the nation through US-backed protests and armed terrorists targeting major cities over the course of several days.

The US Military Is Destroying the Planet Beyond Imagination
Abby Martin’s new documentary feature, Earth’s Greatest Enemy, takes stock of the US war machine’s environmental damage, tracing a devastating landscape of destruction from poisoned military bases to melting Arctic horizons.

Iran War: Ecology, Human Rights, Asymmetric Warfare, and Anti-Imperialism
In the Vietnam War, the US won every battle and lost the war.
I'm not ashamed of being an American because I have no part of the childish cruel madness being perpetrated by the satanic leaders of America. My list of Americans not fit to walk the earth gets longer. And since it is my list I am not on it.
It is nice to listen to others who are not entranced by perverted American bullshit. People are dying. Limbs are being blown off. Max and Justin want you to know. They want to help people climb out of the pit of ignorance.
US and EU sanctions have killed 38 million people since 1970
Sanctions often have a huge human toll. Scholars have demonstrated this in several well-known cases, such as the US sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s that led to widespread malnutrition, lack of clean water, and shortages of medicine and electricity.
This article is talked about.
Dover Air Force Base seeks staff to handle fallen troops’ belongings
The roles involve processing and final disposition of personal effects from overseas military and civilian casualties, according to the job posting. Duties include collecting, cleaning, documenting and shipping personal effects to families or next of kin of service members and others who were killed or seriously injured.
This one too.
Trump his fool enough to think his own personal TRUMP brand is more powerful than seventeen centuries of Persian geography. Roman Emperor Julian died in his Mesopotamian quagmire. Also for vanity. Trump will die in his Mesopotamian quagmire. This mess will last longer than Trump will.
The Sky Is The Limit For The Current Oil Price Rally
Brent tops $90 as the Strait of Hormuz closure halts Gulf oil flows and Iraq and Kuwait begin cutting output, fueling fears of a sharper price surge.
And in the turmoil, some will be making a killing. The tragedy is that we let them. If you ever wondered what the "ordinary people" in Nazi Germany were doing during the war, you're doing it now.

The Economic Crisis of the Iran War Could Get Very Bad, Very Fast
If Donald Trump doesn't end the war by April, "oil prices could get into Scary Land," one expert told me. On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that employment growth plunged last month, as the economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. Every major sector saw losses. Even health care, which has accounted for the majority of job growth in the last year, is so weak that a nurses strike in California was enough to push overall job growth into the red. The hiring market is frigid, and monthly job growth since last summer is averaging negative 10,000 per month.
Can U spell R-E-C-E-S-S-I-O-N? Triple digit Oil prices will send the economy into a Black Hole. Ugly is on the horizon.
