Is this supposed to help? 
Truth Social
Truth Social: We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning. Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth. We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time – Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today. They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

An Illusion
What MAGA Means
Air Power Alone Cannot Win the War
“We don’t have examples of when air power alone has achieved regime change.”
Without ground troops, Trump’s idea of an unconditional surrender is idiotic.
War Supporter Apologizes
An Obviously Unjust War
Iranians Rethink Regime Change
“After the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a US and Israeli strike, some Iranians initially hoped this would lead to the regime’s collapse. However, large-scale bombings, the destruction of infrastructure, and the deaths of over a thousand civilians quickly changed the mood. Many, even those who participated in protests, were shocked by the destruction and began to doubt that foreign military intervention would bring change to the country. “We shouldn’t have been bombed,” said a young Iranian woman after a powerful explosion near her apartment. “Our city, our country – this shouldn’t have happened. How come in Venezuela… there was a clean, bloodless regime change, but not here?” Against the backdrop of war, a sense of national unity and fear of the country’s disintegration have intensified among some segments of society. As a result, many Iranians who previously wanted a change of power at any cost now say that the most important thing is peace and stability, even if reforms come from within the system.” Imagine my surprise…
Imagine not thinking this would happen.
As I said, there was no planning on anything.

On MAGA supporters being prepared to change their minds when Trump does: they may be prepared to assume that he has better information than they do. That is what you tend to think when you follow a leader. If he repeatedly turns out to be wrong, you may change your mind.
On Lyndon Johnson in Viet Nam: I understood that he followed the advice of the CIA, which was staffed at that time by American aristocrats who owned shares in arms-manufacturing companies. The purpose of the war was to use up arms and produce business for the manufacturers. The same sort of people are probably doing their best to stop Trump from making peace in the Ukraine today. Does any wise person have anything to say about this?
Correction: He learned little/nothing
Stupid people cannot learn,

In order to learn, you must first acknowledge there are things you do not know (thoroughly). A Narcissist is always polishing his own mirror, and of course can never own up to any deficit anywhere in his being.

Economic asset valuation peaks and thereafter collapses – occur when private debt supporting overvalued assets undergo default. In July 2007, two Bear Stearns hedge funds tied to subprime mortgages – collapsed, wiping out roughly $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion in investor capital. Bear Stearns at that point had lost about 25-30% of its peak Jan 2007 valuation of 171.5. After lost investor confidence and a bank run in Mar 2008 JP Morgan bought its shares for 2 dollars.
What happened to Bear Stearns is exactly what is happening now to Blackrock, Blackstone, KKR, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, Apollo, Blue Owl, Ares Management, et. al. with their overvalued AI and Tech funds. These private credit companies and investment banks have lost 20-50% of their peak equity valuations, and are notifying their investors that funds which were considered 100% credit worthy last quarter are now worthless and are restricting withdrawals to 5-10% per month from other shaky funds. 25 February 2026 was the peak valuation for the global equity composite ACWI with an expected initial stock market crash fractally self similar to 1929 and related to the termites and wood eating cockroaches in the wooden-structured markets of the private credit and investment bank special funds.
Add to the naturally occurring collapse due to the private debt/investment debt default cockroaches – the Hormuz closure GLOBAL energy/fertilizer SHOCK – and it is not hard to imagine that the initial credit-default related stock market crash will not undergo significant amplification – with perhaps a greater than 60% initial crash or for the US Wilshire more than an initial 40 trillion dollar loss …. The historically observed initial peak to nadir 3 Sept 1929 to 13 Nov 1929 4-phase decay fractal series crash is compared to the expected 25 Feb 2026 4-phase fractal decay series crash. http://www.economicfractalist.com/blog/ The 5 day initial 1st fractal from 25 Feb to 3 Mar 2025 and its underlying tangent with negative slope line and its hourly fractal equivalent is likewise depicted. With the concurrent global energy shock this negative underlying trend line will, very likely, be broken.

As was already mentioned, the Epstein Administration is sending in a Marine expeditionary force so it looks like it’s boots on the ground time. What a disaster.
Iran’s only been planning this for 30 years.
Note too that what is being sent is the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (31st MEU), which is typically based in Japan. Adding to the the two carrier groups and airpower already tied down in the Iran region. Can you hear the glee in China? This is a disaster that will unfold for a long time.
Wow, the reading here is so different than what all of the major news outlets are saying. In Americas press, the slaughter of children and an entire nations people is as Trump says “an honor”.

BREAKING – 5,000 Marines getting sent to land in Iran
-ABC
Amphibious landings are always low casualty. This will be fine.
Hegseth buying beers for you this weekend.
I don’t drink that watery bro piss beer.
Iran has a population of 92.4 million.
Yeah but these are marines. The warrior ethos guys without those beardos.
Makes me sick.
At least 80% are not supporters of the Regime.
These people need to get organized and start taking out IRGC members. Perhaps these marines can help motivate them.
So if Iranians are itching to rise up, Trump can go himself and take Rubio and Hegseth with him.
5000 marines is not a landing force. It is a special operations force. Perhaps to be used to extract Iran’s nuclear materials, or to extract Iran’s leader(s). They might also be used to strike IRGC units positioned on islands in the strait that are being used to attack ships in the strait.
Narrator: They didn’t extract the nuclear material. Nobody told them where it was.
Those scumbags will be honorably killed.
Regular subhumans, eh?
Trump is really having a tantrum.
No tantrum: just another day in the life of King Chaos the Shit Talker.
And the debt keeps piling on, up, up and up until it/war crushes the dollar.
Methinks that there will be a selloff heading into the close as we never know what will happen over the weekend.
The Mid East humanitarian crisis is broadening by the day and Europe should prepare to deal with another massive wave of displaced people.
Yes, it is.
The International Red Cross (based in Geneva) is sponsoring fundraisers to help out the Middle East.
Beyond Iran, Israel, and Russia, .it maybe that China now has an interest in a prolonged conflict. So far China has learned that the B-grade air defense systems they provide to other countries don’t hold up well to US A-team air power (they learned this from Venezuela too). So they may be wondering: 1) if this war continues,should we try to gain real world experience against the US by providing Iran with more sophisticated weaponry; and 2) is it to our advantage in regard to plans for Taiwan to have a protracted US Iran war?
The real value would be in testing long range surface to surface cruise missiles against the US Navy. Once you can sink the Navy, the US is neutered.
China has two advantages right now.
We burned up enough weapons and materiel to account for over two years of military procurement. That won’t be replaced quickly no matter how much money you print. The infrastructure isn’t there for wartime increases.
We are also using the shiniest toys first for that Shock & Awe. When Iran starts getting hit with dumb bombs and dumb shells, China knows we have effectively shot our wad, leaving SEA ripe for the taking.
Using the Iran theater of war to test equipment & logistics against a couple of the more advanced militaries is invaluable for the next campaign
“We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time”
Trump often states the real risks he is facing.
Trump is now openly engaged in honor killings!
In addition to the economic and reputational damage to the US, this war communicates to other nations a number of insights: (a) Iran has a very mediocre military, and yet the US with all its military might cannot oust the regime, stop Iranian missile attacks, or even provide the security necessary to keep oil flowing in the region; (b) Middle Eastern oil states have allowed US military bases on their soil thinking that it makes them safer, but it is now apparent that cooperation with the US make them less safe; (c) Trump has no control over predictable Iranian reactions to the war he started—he is completely unable to keep the Strait of Hormuz open; (d) America is a country that does not believe in international standards and norms and routinely bombs civilians, including 160 little girls in an incident Trump expresses no concern about; (e) Trump has no principles at all and his word means absolutely nothing.
At this point, I think the world is seeing more clearly than ever the need to join BRICS and/or other blocs of nations who can work together to protect themselves from the United States. The US has no allies left among the international community other than Israel, who is only interested in using the US to achieve its own military goals.
Funny how they’re moving missile defense systems from South Korea to the Middle East, because the ones in the Middle East got blown up.
South Koreans are learning about that legendary Trumpstien promise.
Apparently talk about moving missiles systems from the Philippines as well.
Why stop at destabilizing the global economy, when you can also destabilized the global balance of military power by expending all our missiles and letting our allies get bombed?
Fortunately, I don’t think China is as trigger-happy as we are.
North Korea, however, is a bit of a wildcard. If they shelled Seoul, what could the US do about it?
Thoughts and Prayers
Air defense missiles in the Philippines wouldn’t help with that.
I always supported that guy because I believed he would pull back the curtain and show the whole world what UncleSam really is.

“Middle Eastern oil states have allowed US military bases on their soil thinking that it makes them safer, but it is now apparent that cooperation with the US make them less safe…”
To be fair, the Gulfie tyrannies were never really given a choice, just as Nazi Germany didn’t give Romania in 1941 a choice whether Romania was to go along for the ride.
They literally spelled it all out in advance.
The US is clearly getting pinned down over there. Unfortunately, this presidents simplistic worldview doesn’t consider history or human nature. He still thinks force is all that matters – what an ignorant man
Hatred for the US is probably epigenetic in that population by now… we’ve been screwing with them for at least 4 generations.
The President definitely has a Way with Words . . . It may be a little more difficult if he has to Negotiate with them at a latter stage . . . This Conflict seems to be far from Over . . .
They will not negotiate with him. They know better.
Don’t get angry if Iran detonates bombs or even a “dirty” bomb in the United States. The “thinking” of this administration is “if you can do it, it’s justifiable and moral”. Bombings like this is a way to gain lifelong enemies not accomplish regime change, which was as close as it had been in almost fifty years.
I’m more worried about a Dancing Israeli redux false flag than I am about “Iranian terror babies”
Such deranged rhetoric from a demented president is about what I would expect from a demon who rapes 13 year old little girls. Believe what you will about “Katy Johnson’s” statements, but there is so much more.
Bing Videos
Or worse-murdering 175 innocent 7 to 12 year old girls. This man is so repugnant, it is challenging to even call him a human any more. He appears to be possessed by so many demons that I doubt there is much human left in him, if any at all,
That goes for whoever (Trump, Hegseth etc) ordered the sinking of an unarmed Iranian frigate returning from a demonstration event in Sri Lanka and left the men to die in shark infested waters. Brazen disregard for the Geneva Convention https://m.youtube.com/shorts/CKw6ck8yPJw
There is no international law that Trump won’t violate. The Geneva Convention and Human Rights norms are as meaningless to him as the ideas and thoughts of a woman.
If they ever did face a Nuremberg-style trial, there would be plenty of self-released incriminating evidence against Trump and Hegseth.
Who knew how much of that stuff depended on having somewhat decent human beings in power.
The deranged scumbags are the ones in Washington and Israel that thought this was a good idea…with the main one being the one that ok’d this at the very top.
Benjamin Netanyahu?
I am glad that the Iranians are killing the deranged scumbags and their terrorist regimes in Israel and in the US.
A president – who does NOT CARE about American Democrats, American Independents, traditional American Republicans, American sovereign economic and geopolitical self-interests, 75 year-old established alliances, allies and trading partners, the American dollar underpinned by the America’s petrol-oil financial hegemony, global economic, climate, and agricultural stability, and EVEN does NOT CARE about his own American cult and the promises he made to that American cult- is CARELESS. With CARELESSNESS comes thoughtlessness, absence of strategy, nihilism, and bluster and blithering and buffoonery, and a handpicked court of empty-headed jester advisors.
When a US nuclear arms deal had been verbally constructed with Iran on 27 Feb, and Bibi N. then informed the executive that Israel was going to attack, the transactional president had the American-first option of responding, ‘I have a deal in the works, you attack now, and Israel won’t get a dime from America during the rest of my term.’ That American first response would have shut down this whole disastrous Russian-roulette-with-six-chambers-loaded BS ‘excursion’.
So what does Israel hold over Trump to change his mind?
Trump doesn’t care about the gullible MAGAs who follow him, either.
Trump cares about Trump. That’s it.
Friday The Thirteenth, day 15 of Operation Epstein Fury – Trump should walk around wearing a goalie mask today.
Friday March 13, 2020 was the day everyone was sent home “for a week” during COVID. Here we are, 6 years later.
It might take 30k troops to secure the straits of Hormuz. It was all a trap sprung by those clever Iranians. I’m not a martyr; I don’t want to die but they don’t care as long as the west is defeated. Maybe big fat American will get a taste of war? Are there all you can eat buffets in heaven?
A taste of war? How about this as an appetizer:
In the unlikely event of an attack in California, the odds of it being perpetrated by the American intel community are about 95%.

It doesn’t matter who makes the shot, and american public opinion won’t change the fact that america does not win wars…all they do is create chaos in countries that do not bend a knee to UncleSam.
A competitor in chaos allows america to feel stronger, much like how a drowning swimmer will push down anyone nearby.
More like 30,000 dead troops. Keeping it and keeping it resupplied with a constant barrage of missiles and drones would even be harder.
The price is worth it. Fertilizer prices are rising making those all you can eat buffets more expensive. Food addicts need their fix.

That’s because Iran’s defense industry is state owned and focuses on making effective weapons, unlike the Usonian privately owned one which focuses on making the most profitable weapons.
Thankfully that thwarts the American goal of running the planet. Don’t underestimate American inventiveness when it matters, though. We do have the Big Arch.
McDonald’s???
The Pentagon should soon be going hat in hand to congress for more Shekels to fund the war. Let’s see who buys the “We can’t just leave until the job is done” line. Almost all the republicans will vote to fund the war but with a nervous look at the midterms. Almost all democrats will vote to not fund the war with a nervous look at their AIPAC money. Though AIPAC might have given them a waiver to vote no and “express skepticism” over the war as long as there are enough votes to provide funding and no effective opposition is made. The democrats must be hoping that some kind of conclusion is reached by the 60 day period of the War Powers Act and they have to make an unambiguous decision. If the war continues that long, there might be enough republican opposition to provide enough votes to pull the plug.
I noticed that Josh Hawley received $260,000 from AIPAC.
They are all bought and paid for , congress is a cesspool of moral corruption in addition to financial corruption. Its so disgusting
That is why there have been few complaints about this war, from Congress.

LBJ was “presidential”? He actually reminds me of the current President.
France, Italy, Turkey and India in talks with Iran
What can they offer Iran that they can give?
Would Iran even offer a separate peace? Seems unlikely because Iran has no real way of projecting power beyond the region to enforce agreements
And, those countries cannot negotiate for Trump and they do not have the respect of Trump to act in his behalf
This war is only Trump’s to stop, but the Iranians did not play along with the “We won…” this time, knowing another strike could come at any time.
Even Trump begging for peace would probably not work, knowing the US has planned to strike Iran over and over as the whims rise. Trump’s word’s are worthless
I’m not even sure what Iran’s end game is at this point except to prove the importance of their regional hold on the Strait and to buy time to make the nuclear weapons that will ensure their peace for the next few decades
If I had to guess, I’d say preservation of their country.
“end game” in the sense of how they insure the US/Israel do not attack again, if a ceasefire occurs
what would be the requirements Iran sets for a cease fire
it certainly cannot be endless war (years)
Ah…yes. Doubtful Iran will for fall for another “ceasefire” that only serves to allow Israel and their pawn (US) reload and reposition. Huge risk for US right now is being seen by the world as a paper tiger…not good for Iran as US lashes out to diminish this perception.
Italy pulling troops from Iraq
Friends in Kuwait are telling me that Shia militants in southern Iraq have sent missiles into Kuwait. The Kuwait – Iraq border is closed.
I think Russia is the best mediator, one that would have a good chance of being accepted by all sides. In particular, it has special relations with Israel, undoubtedly due to the large population of Russian origin in Israel. Moreover, Israel was very moderate in its condemnation of the invasion of Ukraine. On the other hand, we know of Russia’s cooperation with Iran.
The Russians also know of the cooperation of ours and of Israel with the Ukraine.
Iran is not going to negotiate with US after what they have done. They attacked during diplomatic talks, killed their leader, and are destroying infrastructure and killing children. Trump is a war criminal even if his cause can be viewed a just one. This is why other countries need to get involved to attempt a de-escalation on some basis. If other countries can calm the Iranians down, Trump is looking for a way out of this with his pride still in tact so maybe this will eventually end.
I’m sticking with my original call of April 1st for the end date. I think by then the Iranians will have clearly made their point and will be running out of weapons.
The question then becomes what happens after? I hope the US will have learned its lesson in pandering to Israel’s needs. Dealing with Iran will be even more difficult going forward. I think the choices are allow Iran to build nuclear energy facilities with the risk that they build a bomb or organize a concerted international effort to bring the Iranian regime down. This will take years to organize and carry out.
i think Israel which in a lot of ways is as bad as Iran in all of this also needs to be defanged.
There is no stopping. Iran can never trust that Trump and Israel won’t start bombing a month later. Iran must crush the global economy and drive the world into a depression. That’s the only way American Christians will stop trying to kill their children.
Russia is the only country with the ability to broker a deal to end the war in Iran
They can offer Iran nothing but they will say anything to get oil flowing to their countries again.
“The dollar is our currency, but it’s your problem” is a famous 1971 quote by U.S. Treasury Secretary John Connally to international finance ministers.
That quote applies now to this war. Its the US/Israel war but it’s the world’s problem. That’s the ace in the hole for the US because the US can technically stop attacking at any time and if Iran continues to close the straight and restrict oil the rest of the world is going to have to step in because they MUST have that oil.
How is “the world” going to “step in”?
Trump unwittingly will do more to mitigate the use of petroleum than Al Gore and Greta.
Great observation!
Same goes for Russia; a cease-fire or peace agreement will only delay another attempt to destroy & “Balkanize” the country.
Seems that UncleSam has a problem with civilanizational states…it must be hard to be the big dog when there exist bigger dogs.
Iranians are starting to wake up to the fact that it is not regime change that Israel wants, it’s the all out destruction of Iran as a country. And Israel will gladly sacrifice as many US soldiers and as much US money as it has to to reach that goal…even if it takes 20+ years.
Regime change is the excuse. Total destruction of Iran the goal. (Thence on to Turkey) We can’t trust either President Trump or Israel. If Iran backs down or accepts a “cease fire”, it surely will be destroyed when both our own country and Israel have enough newly produced armaments.
Josh Shapiro should shelve any ideas he might have about running for president in 2028.
Is Ben running for the presidency of Israel?
The regime change = rule by Trumpstien. No sane people would want that.
They must wake up to the fact that the existence of Iran is incompatible with the US/Israel agenda of a Great Israel.
Iran needs to go for broke.
Negotiations or deals are not worth a farthing.
The project of a Greater Israel must be cancelled, annulled, abrogated.
Otherwise Iran is setting itself up for the next round.
The USA has been out to get them since ww2, so they should know by now.

Trump avoids knowledge. He makes policy watching Fox News at 3 a.m. rather than on careful analyses of evidence and arguments. He accepts reports from his aides that cite no data, evidence, or sources, but merely summarize opinions. He disdains the work of intelligence agencies and analysts. He makes no effort to build an administration that brings expertise and honest evidence to its handling of major issues. These all reveal a remarkable conviction that his uninformed opinions are better than actual knowledge. This is the hubris.
To paraphrase a line from the 1980s film “Top Secret”, “ Trump is a moron who knows only what he reads in the NY Post”.
Not that there is any intelligence analysis being done. Read on by Larry Johnson about how careerism works in the intelligence agencies. They’ll deliver whatever the politicians want to hear, that’s how careers are made. Delivering cold analyses based on facts is how careers are derailed.
He’s an ignorant, cynical man. Always has been

Pete Hegseth on Strait of Hormuz: ‘Don’t need to worry about it’
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/13/iran-war-strait-of-hormuz-hegseth.html
You could give a 10-year old kid a map of the middle east and ask the kid to identify “strategic choke-points” and without even knowing the definition of “strategic” and the kid would point a finger to the Straight of Hormuz.
