40 per cent in a single year!  To sponsor genocide.  And America bends over and takes it.  I scream 'naked' into a void.  It must be a void because the King continues to get his delusional way.

I think it's unlikely he gets a 40% increase.  20% maybe though.  Either way, he's impeached in 6 mo unless the elections are rigged.

Shooting down of US jets marks a potential turning point in the war

What had been a largely asymmetric air campaign with US and Israeli air power pounding Iranian military sites, air defences, and infrastructure.  Has now produced a symbolic and potentially strategic setback for Washington.

If Iran is watching the domestic and international response to a single downed fighter jet, they might figure out that American deaths are needed to win this war.  Iran will quickly realize that killing Americans is the way to cook Trump's goose.  That is a hard realization for the people of Iran, who put out a reward that the American pilot be captured ALIVE.  Killing is an insult to their dignity.

Trump talked about delayed courage.  For everyone's benefit I hope he gets some.  To avert American deaths.  It would be the honorable thing to do.

Energy Week – Why Logistics Has Become More Important Than Production

This week has firmly established a new market law: it doesn't matter how much oil you have in the ground; what matters is whether you can deliver it to the consumer.

The energy market is not just about quotes and indices. It is a system on which everyday life directly depends. And if a disruption occurs anywhere, its consequences inevitably manifest themselves in the cost of transportation, food, and medicine.

Iran has 48 hours left to make deal or open strait - Trump

"Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will rain down on them. Glory be to GOD!," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Then they laugh.  And cry.

Oil at $110 as Trump escalates Iran threat, but Asia stocks rebound

Hopes for a resolution remain elusive, with tensions instead intensifying over the past 24 hours after Donald Trump stepped up his rhetoric towards Iran. The escalation has fed directly into energy markets, where Brent crude has climbed to around $110 a barrel.

That is a hard realization for the people of Iran, who put out a reward that the American pilot be captured ALIVE.  Killing is an insult to their dignity.

Dignity issue aside, dead the pilot has no value in the political game.  Alive he has much more utility as a bargaining chip and for media attention.  Videos of said pilot would stir up the emotions of the Amerikan audience.  He might even be induced to make statements of remorse questioning why he was sent on the mission.  The grunts aren't all in favor of the folks running this show.  They have renamed the Hegseth's DoW the Department of War Crimes. 😁  Who knows, the Pilot might even be a Democrat! lol.

Dignity aside, true what you say.  But saying Iranians are not crazy bloodthirsty terrorists is worth saying.  It can't be said enough considering how Americans completely have been propagandized.  We have the bloodthirsty terrorists.

US Trying to Bomb and Kill Downed Fighter’s Pilot in Iran

“After their disappointment to rescue the pilot of a fighter jet that was shot down by Iranian armed forces two days ago, the Americans are seeking to bomb and kill pilot in locations where he is likely to be present,” a military source told the Tasnim news agency.

Convincing an Iranian that Trump would kill an American is likely not hard to do.  And many Americans now know that Trump will.

  Statements of Note
  
  • Accuses the West of wanting to "extract all of your wealth" and make Iranians "slaves of the Jewish supremacists"
  • Claims Reza Pahlavi has remained silent about damage to his own dynasty's heritage
  • Suggests Pahlavi might welcome the destruction as an opportunity for "major renovations" (sarcastic tone)
  • States the US and Israel have "already lost" the war of aggression

Trump cosplays 'Starship Troopers'.

Rico is already in motion, bounding ahead in long jumps, when he selects his target: a large civilian structure, built for mass gatherings with a capacity fifty thousand.  It is at full capacity.

His suit feeds him the firing solution. He launches a small nuclear charge. Two grams of uranium, confined in a tensor field, at the right instant it tightens to critical mass.

Rico doesn't pause to look back. He is already on the next jump, vectoring toward the collection point.  Back to the mothership. By the time the projectile arrives, Rico has turned away already on his next bound. The detonation registers only a flash over his shoulder, muted by his suit's shielding.

Rico has moved on. The target is no longer a thought to him.  His mission is done.

But did Trump ever read Heinlein?

When he could read.

The Psycho-in-Chief has officially gone off his rocker! lol.  EVEN MTG sez:

I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I'm not defending Iran but let's be honest about all of this.

The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they've been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.

You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.

Can't wait to see how the cheerleaders on Faux Newz try to spin this one.

And from a MAGA rag.


As far as MAGA is concerned, glory was had.

There is something fishy about planes destroyed on the ground because they did not have room to take off.  How did they land? And nobody got hurt in any of this.  Helicopters lost?  I hope they find them!

This is very hard to believe.

THE MISSING LINK: HELICOPTER CREWS AND UNACCOUNTED CASUALTIES

Destroyed helicopters (MH-6 Little Birds) and transport planes (MC-130Js) require crews. The official "zero casualty" claim does not explain where those crews went.  Captured, killed, or evacuated, without explanation we have a few possibilities here.

• Four MH-6 Little Birds destroyed — each requires 2 pilots (approx. 8 personnel unaccounted for)
  
• Two MC-130Js destroyed on ground — each requires approx. 5 crew (approx. 10 personnel unaccounted for)
  
• U.S. government states "zero killed or wounded" but does not explicitly state all crews were evacuated
  
• Iranian and Yemeni media report U.S. casualties (9 killed, 7 injured) — unverified by U.S. sources
  
• Fox News and CBS News initially reported "several special forces members injured" — later downplayed
  
• Possible explanations:
  
  
  • Crews evacuated by three replacement C-130s before destruction (unconfirmed)
    
  • U.S. defining "casualty" narrowly as "killed in action," excluding wounded
    
  • Casualties occurring but not yet disclosed to public
    
  • Crews captured by Iranian forces — no evidence provided by Iran
    

Conclusion: The "zero casualty" claim is mathematically possible only if every crew member was safely extracted before their aircraft was destroyed. No source has confirmed this evacuation occurred.

Eighteen missing crew members is not the same thing as loosing track of people in a shopping mall.  But it seems I may be the only one who thinks this way.
