Official source?

Get real, if the trim on one of those flying bricks isn't perfect they are going down.  But no, there are no 'official sources' that can be respected.  All official sources are now kissing Trump ass.  Or have you not been paying attention.  In today's world mainstream media pays to play, and they all stay in line. 

And seriously, a 12 year old can figure out that you are not going to talk about damage to a plane if you do not have to in a time of war.  In particular nothing is going to be said by this administration which is everything but transparent if they do not have to say anything, and it they do have to talk they will lie.  If the plane landed there was nothing to admit.  No reason to say a damn word.  Probably treasonous to do so if you are wearing a U.S. uniform anyway. 

So back to school with you if you think it landed.  And in a week or two there won't be any reason to 'reverse themselves'.  The lie becomes real. 

Trump is not going to be able to spin this clusterfuck into a triumphant win unless he lies.  Trump's ass depends on convincing your ass that this senseless mayhem is justified.  And because it is not justified by any law of man or god, the only way is to turn his rampant aggression into a glorious unprecedented win.  To make his shit smell like 4th of July bar-b-q to a starving man.

Qalibaf: F-35 trike was a moment new order collapsed

The F-35 was not just a fighter jet, but a statue of the US military's invincibility and arrogance. A theological symbol that was claimed to be unseen by any eye and superior to all powers; but 'Yadollah fawqa aydihim' (The Hand of God is above their hands)."

As this war spirals out of control never has Trump had more reason to lie.  And as Trump is incapable of telling the Truth, you do not need a brain or a weatherman to see which way the wind blows.  Unless you have a penchant for tripping over the obvious.


"It became necessary to destroy the town to save it," a United States major said today.

The most acute oxymoron of humanitarian bombardment lies rather in the superimposition that is manifested in it between the declared intention to defend life and to produce actual death.

Fossil fuels are by far the most systemically significant inputs in (as yet) predominantly fossil fuel-powered capitalism. Food production depends on fertilisers. Helium and sulphur are necessary for microchips production, in turn needed for everything from lawn mowers to data centres sustaining the AI boom. The passage through the strait of these raw materials – key for making everything else – has been effectively suspended since the beginning of the war.

A very good read 😀

Oh come on. You tried this same logic when BigBalls got beaten up in Wahsington, and when I calculated out the odds of the cameras catching it, or not, it turned out that spurious wasn't coming from the online sources in this case but from your argument of everything could be seen everywhere in DC.

And seriously, a 12 year old can figure out that you are not going to talk about damage to a plane if you do not have to in a time of war.

You mean, except for this plane in question, and the tanker that went down while refueling others? Everyone talking about both of these is the proof that neither happened?

A 12 year old isn't even SMART enough to play this level of make believe, who are you going to trust, me making it up or someone willing to admit it because they know it happened?

On top of his personal hard-on, Trump was dog walked into this mess.  The problem for the rest of the world is that this is no pleasant walking of a dog in a park.

Philippines declares national energy emergency as Asia risks energy crisis amid Iran war

The Philippines has declared a national energy emergency in response to the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, marking the latest sign of strain in Asia as the Middle East conflict stifles oil delivery and threatens an energy crisis.  Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in part that the ongoing war threatened "the availability and stability of the country's energy supply."  The emergency declaration allows the Philippine government to exert control over fuel prices and fast-track imports from alternative suppliers, such as Russia. Philippine authorities say they have enough fuel to last about 45 days at typical consumption levels.

No worries, Phillipinos are like Cubans, they're used to living in squalor.  Indians too.  We don't have anything to worry about here in the FSoA of course,we are exceptional!  Those shithole countries are overcrowded anyhow.  Think of the great Investment Opportunities when half the population of Indonesia starves!  You'll be able to buy a Private Island for pennies!

Eat, drink & be merry.  You're safe under the guidance and protection of the Chosen One, Saint Donald. Buy War Bonds!
