It takes a special kind of strategic incompetence to achieve total military dominance and still pathetically lose a war, yet that is exactly what Donald Trump did in Iran. The US and Israel ruled the skies, hitting almost every target with virtually zero resistance and few aircraft losses. Even so, the entire operation failed because Trump is a loudmouth fraud who was never actually ready to commit. Before the war started, I wrote that Iran's best move would be to just to try to somehow survive the first wave, and call Trump's bluff, and that is exactly what they did. They realized early on that Trump's tough-guy routine was entirely hollow. Airstrikes alone rarely force an aggressive regime to collapse. Trump ignored every historian and military advisor, charging ahead with Israel without a clear objective. This was not a typical asymmetric victory like Ukraine's resistance against Russia, where the smaller nation wins by inflicting severe costs on the occupier. Iran's military performance was miserable. Their air defenses were a joke, and their retaliatory strikes achieved almost nothing. They won the war of wits because survival was existential for them, while for Trump, it was a political stunt. They correctly gambled that the US had no stomach for a prolonged ground invasion. They just had to absorb the hits and choke off global oil supplies in the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides held back some of their biggest moves, since Washington kept ground troops out of the fight and Tehran chose not to make the Houthis completely seal off Bab el Mandeb. I have absolutely zero sympathy for the horrific Iranian regime. Trump deeply betrayed the people of Iran by waiting until their domestic uprisings were brutally crushed before launching his badly prepared operation. He talked big and made sweeping demands, yet everyone knew he lacked the resolve to follow through. The upcoming peace deal will inevitably be far worse than the JCPOA he originally tore down. This war exposed the hard limits of Trump's posturing. When an adversary stood their ground and called his bluff, the entire might of the US armed forces could not cover up his cowardice and stupidity

“What would you say to Putin after today’s attack?” Zelensky, visiting the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra after the Russian strike: “We will have our answer.”

Russia launched more than 60 missiles at the Ukrainian capital alone. In total, 70 missiles and 611 drones were used against Ukraine. Their targets were innocent people sleeping in the middle of the night and a 1,000-year-old Cathedral.

BREAKINGNEWS: Art of the deal. Iran says Trump agreed to 300 billion to rebuild Iran. 24 billion in frozen assets to be released. Iran claims some of that money has already been handed over. Jesus this is a mess. 🚨

HEGSETH: “The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” BRENNAN: “(Obama’s Iran Deal) said that too.” 🎯 HEGSETH: “The difference is we did this from a position of strength.” 🤡 (TRANSLATION: this was an unnecessary, costly war that accomplished nothing)

The bells of the Lavra rang out across Kyiv after Russia’s massive attack on the capital. A sound of faith, resilience, and survival above a city that endured another night of terror.

⚡️A Russian Tu-22M3 has crashed in Irkutsk region of Russia. These bombers are used by Russia for strikes on Ukraine.

“I believe it is imperative that the architect of the deal, Vice President Vance and his negotiating partners….” They’re setting up Vance to take the fall.

President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.), a vehement election denier and Jan. 6 riot defender, in the Georgia Republican U.S. Senate runoff taking place on June 16. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

Dear @SecWar Pete Hegseth, I am really glad all this is on video because otherwise no one would ever believe you are this stupid.

BREAKING: Sen. Warnock calls for Supreme Court reform, telling NBC that “All options are on the table” – including adding seats! In a powerful interview on Meet the Press, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) made it crystal clear that Democrats are done playing defense against a corrupted Supreme Court. Asked by host Kristin Welker if he would support adding seats to the Court, Warnock answered affirmatively: “I think all options have to be on the table… We definitely need reform to this court. We need a code of ethics.” Warnock laid the blame for the court’s descent squarely on Donald Trump and his acolytes for igniting a “terrible race to the bottom” through extreme gerrymandering and weaponizing the courts to make decisions favorable to the MAGA agenda to sometimes devastating effect on our fundamental freedoms. In calling out the current Court for pouring “fuel on that fire” and undermining its own credibility, Warnock is making a significant shift in tone. Expanding the Court, imposing term limits, and enforcing a real code of ethics have all become legitimate responses to the right-wing capture of the judiciary, and the influential Warnock is on board with it. Since he managed to bully Congress into confirming his ideological right-wing nominees, Trump has considered the Supreme Court to be in his pocket, fuming with righteous indignation if they dare oppose him. Not because they are right or wrong, but because they didn’t acquiesce to his will after he took the trouble to nominate them. But Warnock just made it clear: in his mind the era of one-sided rules must end, by whatever legal means necessary. The Reverend Dr. Warnock speaks for all sensible Americans when he says he is tired of a Supreme Court that protects billionaires, strips away rights, and acts as an unelected super-legislature. Fair is fair. If Republicans keep abusing the hallowed institution, Democrats have every right to fix it. And all options should indeed be on the table.

Biden says: "Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America." Who agrees?? 🖐️

💯💯💯

Hahaha

This aged well…

"So Iran comes out a winner. But the most important outcome is our defeat. Trump’s failure in Iran has accelerated the broader retreat...We were the greatest world power from 1941 to 2025. Now we appear to be one power among many, one bully among many..." open.substack.com/pub/thebul…

Absolutely horrific scenes. A russian missile has wiped out an entire street in Kyiv. Osokorky district — a civilian neighborhood, hundreds of kilometers from the front line. And yes — dear world, your tolerance and silence fuel russian terror.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Ohio Senator Jon Husted is now openly admitting the Iran war he voted for 8 times is raising prices. What a disaster.
