Virgins! A US attack on Iran just smoked 50 SENIOR IRANIAN LEADERS

If these were senior leaders in the IRGC, you have to wonder who is left to negotiate with. Seems like the IRGC wants to go down with the ship since there seems to be no progress with the negotiations. So what will probably happen is we will keep bombing for a few more days until there is almost nothing left of Iran’s military and civilian infrastructure. Then we’ll determine that they are not a threat for a generation to come, and leave. As for the Strait of Hormuz, that’s Europe’s, China, and India’s problem. Let them have some skin in the game.

Trump: ‘It’s War’

Trump said Operation Epic Fury was nearing completion of its core military objectives, while warning that Iran would be hit “extremely hard” over the next two to three weeks if it refused to accept terms. He also warned the regime could be sent “back to the stone ages” if it continued to resist.

‘Time Is Running Out’: Trump Warns Iran It Has 48 Hours to ‘Make a Deal or Open Hormuz’ Before ‘All Hell Rains Down’

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote. “Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign [sic] down on them. Glory be to GOD!”

Trump had previously warned that if Tehran refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and failed to reach terms, the United States could strike major regime infrastructure, including electric generating plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island — the country’s main oil export hub.

Trump tells Iran to open Strait of Hormuz in 48 hours or ‘all hell will reign down’

Trump has repeated a demand for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, issuing what he says is a 48-hour deadline.

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. “Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.”

Internet blackout in Iran stretches to 36 days

Connectivity watchdog NetBlocks reports that Iran’s internet has now been down for 35 days, a total of 840 hours, as it enters its 36th day.

  • US-Israeli attacks have hit two petrochemical plants in southern Iran’s Khuzestan province, and one person has been killed in another strike on the Bushehr nuclear site.

Trump, Hormuz & the End of the Free Ride

This is the first informed, intelligent assessment of this conflict.

All the US leadership had to do was to act on something no one else was willing do. 


Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride

For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface.

The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities.

Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. Continue reading Trump, Hormuz & the End of the Free Ride

Spain should be kicked out of NATO

Long overdue!

Should the U.S. Leave NATO? NO, NATO Needs to PAY the U.S. to Stay!

Walking away completely is not the answer. Forcing a renegotiation is. It’s time NATO needs to pay the U.S. for it’s involvement with NATO.

For decades, the United States has carried this alliance on its back. We fund it. We defend it. We lead it. Meanwhile, too many member nations freeload, underinvest in their own defense, and still expect American protection. That era should be over. If NATO wants the United States, NATO needs to pay for the United States. Period.

And then there’s Spain.

If Spain is blocking U.S. access to bases and airspace during critical operations tied to Iran, that’s not just unhelpful. That’s betrayal. You don’t get to sit under the NATO umbrella while undermining the very country that makes that umbrella possible.

So here’s the line. Spain should be kicked out of NATO.

Not warned. Not negotiated with. Removed.

An alliance requires loyalty. If Spain won’t stand with America when it matters, they don’t belong. Let them see what defense looks like without the United States backing them.

How are NATO allies pushing back against Trump’s Iran war demands?

Trump says he is considering a NATO exit as allies resist cooperation in US-Israel war on Iran. Here are the fractures emerging within the alliance.

“I always knew they were a paper tiger,” Trump lashed out in an interview published on Wednesday in The Telegraph newspaper, saying he was strongly considering pulling out of NATO.

The same sense of disdain towards the allies was echoed a day earlier by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who told Al Jazeera that if the transatlantic alliance was “just about defending Europe” but not the other way around, that’s “not a very good arrangement”. That, Rubio said, is going “to have to be re-examined”.

The Eunuch’s are insolent:
