The US is bombing schools and hospitals.
This Evil has become the norm for the Imperial Empire....I am 80% confident that the Empire roasted those little girls on purpose, but so many on my grapevine dont want to believe it.The US is bombing schools and hospitals.

This is a nasty dark age....the people tend to suck.All our JPP friends support this Wall Street war.
When the Imperial Empire takes out Irans oil infrastructure they have promised to take down the entire regions oil capacity and thus drive the globe into Depression......the Chinese are vocal that they are opposed to this but I think they know that the Iranians will do it.
There is a lot of speculation that China and Russia will do better than most in that environment.

Which is worse for the Imperial Empire.....crew incompetence or enemy shoot down?

.How did a Flying Gas Station Crash On March 12, 2026, tragedy struck in the skies over western Iraq. Here is exactly what we know about the recent crash involving a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker. The incident happened in what is considered 'friendly airspace' while the aircraft was actively supporting Operation Epic Fury. According to CENTCOM and public flight tracking data, this wasn't an enemy shoot-down—it was an apparent mid-air collision between two KC-135s operating in tandem. One of the massive tankers went down in the Iraqi desert. The second aircraft immediately declared an in-flight emergency.

TRUMP’S IRAN GAMBLE: A 2026 MIDTERM BLOOTHBATH? Constitutional lawyer Robert Barnes (
@barnes_law
) warns that Donald Trump is "gambling away the future of the Trump coalition" on a delusional Iran strategyThe Barnes Reality Check:"Trump convinced himself of Bibi's little whispering lies.""Democrats are likely to win more than 240 seats in the House... Trump is going to get impeached." AND he projects the Democrats win the Senate; a looming November disaster for the GOP, all because o a foolish war of choice that never had a chance to benefit the nation."It’s going to be a sh** show on steroids."From the Straits of Hormuz closing to a wave of probable high-level impeachments, Barnes explains why the GOP is on pace for total collapse. Those Republicans who have been seen "seal clapping" for Trump's disastrous decision to plunge into war with Iran may come to deeply regret it.

President Trump this morning declares "We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability," so I guess its time (again) to start popping corks to celebrate the war's victorious conclusion! Wait, what...?He again tries to convince us the Strait will soon be open, this time by war ships coming from a diverse set of nations to force the matter. "Hopefully," he wrote, "China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others" will come to shoulder the military risk of forcing the Strait open. Uh... And if "100% of Iran's military capacity" has been destroyed, remind me (and all those other nations) why *our* navy isn't already patrolling a now safe Straits to ensure safety of the flow of oil?The answer is painfully obvious, as was demonstrated again in Israel and at our 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain last night, Iranian missiles and drones continue to penetrate our collective air defenses and strike home. Thus, the Strait is NOT open and won't be for the foreseeable future.Iranian IRGC Gen. Rezaei last night declared that they would not accept a ceasefire until the U.S. and Israel paid reparations and an international coalition guaranteed their future security. Iran knows full well those aren't even theoretically possible outcomes at present, and won't for a very long time. He is likely signaling that not only is Iran not cowed by the genuine military pain we're inflicting on them, they are confident they can ride this out for a considerable amount of time.They see that ticking clock to Trump's most important event, the U.S. midterm elections, and they are watching that rise in oil continue to fly north, realizing that is putting more pressure on the Americans and Europeans than any bombs, missiles, or drones Iran may fire.All they have to do is endure under the bombardment, and remain viable militarily to continue some sustained rate of missile and drone fire - and keep that Strait closed - and time will build pressure on the U.S. to seek a negotiated settlement on terms more amendable to Iran.That is the trap we have set for ourselves by launching this foolish, ill-conceived, war of choice. There is no easy exit ramp, no matter how many bombs President Trump orders dropped on Iran
Iran’s “Samson Option”
When the Strait of Hormuz closes, you don’t need to be a military analyst to understand what just happened. You only need to understand what the world runs on. Oil. Gas. Shipping lanes. Insurance rates. Container schedules. Energy prices that decide whether factories hum or go dark, whether households heat or freeze, whether governments fall or survive. This is why serious analysts have long argued that Hormuz is not a “threat” Iran invented for propaganda; it is a structural red line that the U.S. and its allies have treated as a bluff because they could not imagine a regional actor actually pulling the lever that exposes a vulnerability: dependence.

Sending the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) from Okinawa to the Arabian Sea, 2 weeks AFTER beginning the war, says several things to me:-US leaders and planners didn’t think this war would last this long. Lots of other evidence for this, but not having a MEU available when the US traditionally has a MEU in both the Mediterranean Sea and Persian Gulf/Arabian Sea shows astonishing US hubris, incompetence and fantastical thinking.-that out of 10 MEUs the US Marine Corps fields, the only available MEU is the only one that is dedicated to East Asia, shows how over extended the US military is. This should deepen discussion on the doubtfulness of the US military to sustain a campaign of intense magnitude against Iran, i.e. fight a real and total war. The only other MEU at sea, afloat since August, was originally assigned to the Mediterranean but was sent to the Caribbean to take part in the Maduro kidnapping, where it still is. Not that that MEU could have sailed past the Houthis who control the Red Sea anyway… -moving the 31st MEU from Asia, like the air defense systems being moved out of South Korea, demonstrates that the fear mongering over China these last decades is, at best, non-urgent, but more likely exaggerated and insincere. As every subject nation within the American empire should be realizing these last several years, their concerns and interests are far from the interests and concerns of Washington DC. In the hierarchy of US vassal states there is a large gap between Israel and everyone else.-there are 175,000 Marines, 300 ships in the Navy and $1 trillion defense budget, but in the largest military campaign since President Obama escalated the war in Afghanistan 17 years ago the US is unable to have 2000 Marines on 3 ships in the region.-commentators on X, social media and cable news who are talking about this MEU as being able to take and hold ground simply don’t know what they are talking about. It’s possible for the MEU to take oil platforms or seize small and isolated islands and strips of land, but forced entry, a kin to the battle of Tarawa, is simply something the modern MEU cannot do. The MEU is very good for things like reinforcing or evacuating an embassy, reinforcing friendly forces already present someplace, supporting commando missions and raids, or boarding or seizing ships. I think this last mission may be one of its missions as the US tries to block Iranian oil shipments that are leaving the Gulf.-of the 2000 Marines on a MEU, less than half are fighting forces, the rest are logistics personnel or support the helicopter and F-35 detachment. With regards to the F-35s that are aboard, there are normally only 6 planes and they are limited with the amount of ordinance they can carry as well as fuel, because of the nature of taking off from a smaller flight deck. These 6 F-35s stationed on the MEU don’t really add too much to the overall air capability of the US and Israel already present.-I don’t see any way that the MEU can go through the Straits of Hormuz and assault Kharq Island as I’ve heard on cable news today. An air assault with Marines from the MEU would only put a couple hundred marines on Kharq Island and very far from any replenishment, support, reinforcement, medevac, etc. That’s not saying the US military wouldn’t do something so reckless and stupid…

Have you heard the theory that with the way the Zionist Colony is constructed it could not exist without war, and that this is intentional because Zionism is an Imperial Empire construct, created to be the Empires attack dog?America has been in conflict 93 percent of its existence.
