Agreed - Greed, but more. Bibi knows what Trump is hiding in the EPSTEIN FILES. Blabbering Trump bragged, as he always does, and now is compromised - by both Putin and Bibi.
The EPSTEIN FILES are TRUMP's Achilles heel. Stay Laser focussed and root out the evil. Do YOU have daughters?
Excellent breakdown.. And funny you mention Clinton's quote—because yesterday I shared that Rubio clip and asked the exact same thing: who's the superpower here? Because it sure isn't looking like us.
I've read China already cut Iranian oil purchases by over 100,000 barrels per day in February and quietly replaced it with Russian crude instead. They're not just stockpiling and waiting… they're actively rerouting while we stumble into a forever war we bragged about having "enough ammunition" for.
Iran just blocked the Strait of Hormuz—20% of the world's oil. So the US handed China a reason to deepen ties with Russia, told our troops this is about Armageddon, and still expects us to believe they know what they're doing.
This is how World War III starts. And too many people either aren't paying attention… or actually believe this nonsense. They believe in the Armageddon. They believe he's anointed. A core group genuinely buys into this lunacy, and that's what makes it even more terrifying. These people are not okay.
Yes China has been stockpiling oil in anticipation of this conflict. But Trump is all about doing what he can when he can. China has Russia and that’s not likely to change.
That's the frustrating part. China's been preparing for this—stockpiling, rerouting, securing deals with Russia. Meanwhile, we're being told we're the greatest superpower while our leader hands strategic advantages to other nations and stuffs his own pockets.
Is he Putin's puppet? Israel's? Just an idiot getting played? Does it matter? The result is the same: we're burning through our future while he brags about "enough ammunition for forever war."
A superpower doesn't let one country dictate its foreign policy. We're watching America get gutted, and the people cheering have no idea they're next.
He provokes them to avoid the crisis here, the Files and the scandal that is ready to blow up. By distracting us with wars and killings he escapes the scrutiny of the Congress, and has an excuse because “he loves America”, what he does is for the country!
Trump cares NOT about this war. He is focussed on one thing only. KEEPING his ass out of Jail. WWIII - so what? That is the man who leads U.S.A. This war was put into play as a distraction to the EPSTEIN FILES. Soon, you will agree. Soon you will not be able to argue. May many innocent lives rest in peace, their deaths caused of this twisted man's cover-up. He is directly responsible. NETANYAHU threatened to go to the press about the EPSTEIN FILES. He knows what TRUMP doesn't want you to know. Bibi protected or he'd be dead too. Guess who has HIS back?
This is insane. Nobody thought to tell Netanyahu to knock it off? Israel isn’t an ally. They are a leech. We don’t get anything out of our relationship with them.
There are other factors but the sensibilities of Trump's evangelical Christian base are most important, I believe, and those people are very comfortable with violence in the service of injustice. Their god is an arbitrary asshole and Trump is an arbitrary asshole so they relate that to godliness in some vague, ignorant, bigoted way. Then there's Israel and the second-coming with some kind of mass destruction and the rednecks love that shit like they do dog fighting and screwing over black people. Decent Americans have no idea how crazy these people are and just can't imagine it so they, the insane social conservatives, kept getting away with stuff and now they're running everything.
By continually calling Evangelical Christians Trump’s base, you and many others are seriously alienating the massive faction of Evangelical Christians, i.e. Protestant, Episcopal, Presbyterian, etc. that are NOT Trump’s base. Evangelical does not mean the extremist zealots blindly following MAGA/Trump. Political centrists need to use more consideration when throwing about labels for Evangelical Christians. It’s a large populous who are increasingly discriminated against. Just my two cents worth, but I am not alone in this sentiment. I ask people to be more thoughtful with labeling Christians. It is quietly leading to loss of independent, democratic and progressive voter base.
Difficult read but Elizabeth understands the culture. The way it filtered down through the years and out through the society most southerners have no idea what they're doing and why they vote the way they do. It all got laundered, largely through religion but also through bullshit like the lost cause narrative. They're convinced they are the 'real Americans' and constitutionalists and they're anti-intellectual since their standard for real understanding is some kind of solipsistic mind-meld with Jesus. They're 'literalists' which is a smoke screen to lay claim to superiority while distorting the hell out of the Bible. Ditto for calling themselves patriots. Originalism represents the same thing in judicial form. It's a mess.
Thanks for the link! Interesting and horrifying. Makes me once again grateful to have been born in MN. I've said for a long time that I wished red states and blue states could just separate- truly different countries.
He was at it again today at the White House on national TV. Throwing his Toddler Tantrum against Spain and Great Britain. For not letting the US use their bases, to launch strikes from.
Martin, they don’t care about the party anymore, the election battle is lost for them and they know it. The war is a reason to not keep elections and remain in full power till the end, when the other idiot will take over probably by another scheme to not have elections anymore.
It is all a plan to help Bibi, who knows too that Trump will not be able to do his bid if we have elections, and to keep the power. We all know it, and the files are related too, Netanyahu must have some kind of hook on Trump, related to the files, as Putin has too. Epstein was working for both of them, collecting information and selling influence. The war was not necessary now, Iran wasn’t an imminent threat for us. They chose the moment to use it for all that while Bibi plays Trump like a fiddle.
Of course they play war and innocent people die for that, besides our taxes thrown away for nothing. They do not pay taxes, don’t care at all.
Keep your chin up my friend. I can feel your sense of frustration, it’s palpable. It’s about viewing this as a marathon and not a sprint. I know things might seem dark now, but I absolutely believe that we will defeat this tyrannical regime.
There are many moving parts of this complex puzzle, but don’t write the American people off. It’s important to stay calm and press on with informing voters.
My new Truth Portal Project is all about expanding reach and providing a free resource to everyone to find the truth and to ask questions. It is of course just a small contribution, but from little acorns grow mighty oak.

I know that at some point they will go to hell but until then a huge damage will be done. We need the military on our side, only they can stop the madness of the whole cabal, not just him.
What an accurate, awful, miserable, truthful, important post! Framing the cost of a single missile as two lifetime earnings of typical Americans is brilliant! I can not, for the life of me, understand how, collectively, we put these morons in power, nor how we elected leaders who support their idiocy. (I, like most readers here, voted against these fools.)
Would it be possible for you to post the Eisenhower speech outlining the costs of war? I'd like to read it again and archive it. Thanks for your consideration. Thanks for your writing!
This may also have been overlooked (I did not check any sources, but it seems reasonable. Do you have an opinion on this coment from winniedb on Stacy Abram's post this morning 3/3:
"The assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei is the single greatest strategic blunder in modern US history
By killing him, the US and Israel didn't just eliminate a leader; they fulfilled a 1,400-year-old prophecy and created a martvr whose shadow will haunt the West for decades.
Consider the symbolism: Iran has NEVER had a martyred Supreme Leader. Khomeini died of natural causes.
For the Leader of the Islamic Republic to be martyred by the "US/Israel" is 1000% on brand. It transforms a political office into a sacred, eternal cause.
The timing is catastrophic. Khamenei was killed in Ramadan the same holy month as Imam Ali, the first Imam of Shiism and the "Epitome of Justice."
To millions, this isn't a "strike", it's a divine parallel. He died as Ali died: at the hands of an assassin during the month of fasting.
He was killed with his family. In the Shia psyche, this immediately mirrors the Martyrdom of Husayn at Karbala
The narrative of the "oppressed" (Mazlum) vs the "oppressor" (Zalim) is now fully activated. This isn't just ar Iranian tragedy; it's a global Shia rallying cry,
The blowback is already unprecedented. We are seeing something rare: Shia-Sunni unity.
From Karachi to Baghdad to Lucknow, Sunnis are joining Shias in the streets. By targeting a religious authority of this stature, the US has unified the Ummah against a common "tyrant."
Trump's "kill everyone" doctrine, dictated by Netanyahu, has backfired. They thought they were decapitating a regime.
Instead, they've given the Islamic Republic its most powerful symbol of legitimacy since 1979. You cannot kill an idea, especially one now bathed in the blood of "martyrdom."
The West is celebrating a "tactical success" while sleepwalking into a strategic nightmare.
The US just traded a predictable adversary for an unpredictable, divinely-inspired global insurgency. This isn't the end; it's the beginning of a much darker chapter.'
Domestically in Iran it’s anyone’s guess now, who will prevail — those who feel oppressed by the current regime, or the remnants of the regime & followers.
But Trump telling the Iranian general public freedom fighters to ‘go for it’ while providing nothing but bombing defies logic: how can they fight back unarmed & unsupported on the ground?
Everything just looks more chaotic, money & goods will become scarce … and the constant bombing … will they become another Gaza?
“My simple point is this: the combination of the tech giants and the cross-pollination into the Military Industrial Complex is creating colonies of slave labour within the bottom 90% of US society. The icing on the cake is that they intend to use AI and robotics to reduce the value of human labour to the equivalent of junk bonds.”
I think Trump is faithful to Israel because he has his eyes on making $ in Gaza.

In actuality, the God who has given mankind Free Will is just letting us ‘do our thing’,
— until the consequences become such that we realize the actual leader we need is Him,
NOT these various misrepresentations that politicos & racists etc find convenient for their ulterior motives/ causes. ‘Time will tell’.
* JC did prophecy many wd come in his name but he wd need to denounce them.
He was at it again today at the White House on national TV. Throwing his Toddler Tantrum against Spain and Great Britain. For not letting the US use their bases, to launch strikes from.
He just can’t help himself

I had read some other references to this and I believe it definitely has merit in terms of having a psychological impact.
Iran is in a state of flux at the moment while it tries to regroup. That’s going to be impeded by the U.S. urgency to eliminate the threat.
Iran is the gold standard for non conventional insurgent conflict and the threat should not be underestimated.
Shukran Saladin,
👏👍🙏 inshallah!
Thank you, and YES. We here, with our little 250 yrs of history, cannot even imagine the power of Iran's centuries of history.

And, do any of them know what decimation actually means…?
It means reduce by a tenth…
So, not annihilating then?
At best a spurious start, ongoing annihilation of the American economy whilst reducing Iran’s power by a tenth.
Sounds about right.
Domestically in Iran it’s anyone’s guess now, who will prevail — those who feel oppressed by the current regime, or the remnants of the regime & followers.
But Trump telling the Iranian general public freedom fighters to ‘go for it’ while providing nothing but bombing defies logic: how can they fight back unarmed & unsupported on the ground?
Everything just looks more chaotic, money & goods will become scarce … and the constant bombing … will they become another Gaza?
Clearly, Trump is too tied to Israel & not conserving our weapons. Predictions are for a strong blue wave in November.
