Middle East crisis live: Trump uses expletive-ridden social media post to threaten Iran’s infrastructure

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

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.

Will the Generals follow his orders to commit what are explicitly War Crimes?  Will any Repugnant CONgress Critters grow a backbone and join in an Impeachment vote?  Stay Tuned.

Trump does not think critically, and considering he is the president of the US, and has functional illiteracy he can't understand what he needs to for the job.
If a president can't do more than understand 'See Jane Run" that means he can't read.

Your wording suggests that because he can't read he can think critically.  That makes no sense, and in fact reading enhances one's ability to think critically.  In general readers have larger intellectual worlds than non-readers.  There is a relationship.


Saying "some can read, some can't, but either can think critically" is misleading, because the ability to comprehend complex written material is prerequisite for most forms of informed, analytical thought.  Especially in areas like policy, law, international affairs, and being chief executive of the United States.

Someone who can only read "See Jane Run" has extremely limited cognitive inputs for decision-making at the presidential level.  Just being able to read Heinlein does not cut it at the presidential level, and I doubt Trump can even read Heinlein.  If he ever could, those days are behind him.

'This is evil': Marjorie Taylor Greene's 276-word reaction to Trump's profane Truth Social post

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who had been advocating against the war said every Republican in the White House should pray for forgiveness on Easter Sunday for Trump's post filled with profanity.

Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am

Every Republican in the White House should pray for forgiveness, and most of the Democrats should too.

Images Emerge of Downed US Aircraft in Central Iran

The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters of Iran announced on Sunday, April 5, that that Iranian military forces have destroyed several US aircraft in southern Isfahan, thwarting an attempted mission to rescue a downed American fighter pilot.

US special forces rescue second F-15E airman, two C-130s destroyed on ground

During the operation, two C-130 aircraft, presumably of the MC-130J special operations version, had to be destroyed by US forces after they got stuck on an unpaved field and were unable to take off. Two MH-6 Little Bird light helicopters may have also been destroyed in the same action.

US pilot rescued in Iran in ‘miraculous’ operation: Trump

US President Donald Trump yesterday said that US forces had safely recovered a second pilot downed in Iran, calling it one of the most daring search-and-rescue operations in US history.

And from a MAGA rag.

Got Him! Weapons Systems Officer Rescued After F-15E Shot Down

A Colonel serving as a Weapons Systems Officer in the F-15E that was shot down in Iran on Good Friday, was rescued in a daring operation. The first pilot was rescued immediately. The Weapons System Officer was another story entirely. He had to climb- while injured – around 7000 feet to a ridge away from the crashed aircraft. Daring is a word you could use, but it is woefully understated.

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.

How the trap of war closed on Donald Trump

The fighter jet shot down by Iran, forcing the U.S. military to launch a search and rescue operation to rescue its two pilots, came to remind the US president that the war was not a game. And that Iran could “stand up to him.”
