Here's a nice new twist I was unaware of and fer sure DonOld and his merry men didn't account for.

This is the definition of asymmetric warfare, ironically a strategy that played a large role in the creation of the US and one that we have struggled with since.

Everyone struggles with it. A good guerrilla force can take seven to ten regulars to counter it (read that somewhere).

The European underground and the guerillas in the Philippines in WW2 come to mind.

Might also be described as the evolution of modern warfare.

And yet, Moron Don and Jagoff were not prepared for it.

Good lord no.

These are the same morons that turned down Ukraine's offer of help on drone warfare as our bases were getting hit.

"We got this".

Congress votes to reopen key parts of DHS without ICE funding

The original "fake news":

They're starting to eat their own.

And for once, Lindsey isn't wrong.

Lindsey has been an Iran hawk forever.

It's not like we can "trust" Pakistan regardless of airplane parking, but how much does a mediator affect outcomes, anyhow? Plus, it's not like acceptable alternatives are stepping up. IMO any talking is better than not talking.

Otoh, any Jagoff shaming is better than no Jagoff shaming.

Gas took a lovely $.30 jump overnight.


$5.30 seems to be the average.

Trump warns 'clock is ticking' for Iran as peace progress stalls

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd0p4y9y48xo

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran the "clock is ticking" as talks to bring the war to an end have stalled.

"They better get moving, FAST, or there won't be anything left of them," he wrote on his Truth Social platform. "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!"

The message came as the president spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, the Times of Israel reported, citing Netanyahu's office.

Iranian media meanwhile reported the US had failed to make any concrete concessions in its response to Tehran's latest proposals to end the conflict.

Yawn.

[GoCubsGo]

This was their big plan?

Holy crap.

[GoCubsGo]

Are we surrendering?

[GoCubsGo]

Oops, spoke too soon. Looks like we are.

They're already designing the Chickenhawk Don Monument.

Sounds right.

Guess the ceasefire is on pause.

[Whack9]

Guess the ceasefire is on pause.

I think they quite literally said the ceasefire is still in effect despite launching attacks. We're just making up reality now. Wouldn't be suprised at this point if the US just cancels all action against Iran and says there was never a war and the strait of Hormuz has never been more open in all of history than it has under Trump.

U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” CENTCOM spokesman Timothy Hawkins told CNN in a statement when asked about explosions reported around the Strait of Hormuz.

“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire,” he added.

[O Really]

Wouldn't be suprised at this point if the US just cancels all action against Iran and says there was never a war and the strait of Hormuz has never been more open in all of history than it has under Trump.

I think that's way more likely than one would ordinarily believe.

More likely is declare victory and go home then tout their "success" in the next election.
