    Kushner out here doing Iran "diplomacy" while shaking down governments for $5 billion in contributions to his private equity fund.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/business/jared-kushner-affinity-mideast-funds.html

    Kushner has yet to file a financial disclosure form, but none of this is close to Hunter's laptop.

    Since I don't clap my hands for everything Trvmp does, I assume I'm a leftist to the board's war gang, and I see broad strokes are painted for what I "want"... well, okay, here's exactly what I want:

    I don't want a loss of a single US service member (never mind more than a dozen and counting) for an elective fight with Iran. I hope not a single US service member is so much as injured in the coming days. Not a single sprained ankle on a stairway. I don't want the death of a single innocent Iranian citizen or child for an elective fight with Iran either. (I do imagine someone's child in our military, because I've worked with a lot of students who are now serving in theater. I have always had ROTC students, and they're amazing kids. But I also imagine a hundred girls in a school getting blown to bits by our tax dollars -- that should not feel good to any of us.) I don't want us to spend a single dollar for an elective fight with Iran.

    And if we choose war with Iran, I want the executive branch to follow the constitution for Congressional authorization. I want a clear case made to the American people for why it's absolutely necessary. "Uh, they were about to attack us? Their nuclear program is magically strong again? Trust us?" does not cut it.

    Now that we've started, I hope our military achieve's our POTUS's aims (regime change, he says), or that some end can be negotiated, and that we wrap up the war quickly. The fact that I'm hopeful for a quick end to the war but not necessarily optimistic does not make me anti-American; it makes me an American using his God-given brain.

    Whoever these imaginary "leftists" are, they must be some really bad people.

    Trump"s Iran war - like Putin in Ukraine or Mussolini in Italy - is already lost.

    the goal of "let's install a Trump friendly regime in 3 days by just doing the minimum" was right up there with Putin invading Ukraine in terms of being incredibly unrealistic and obviously idiotic but since Old Man Syphilis is surrounded by brain dead sociopaths and sycophants it went forward anyway.

    The other problem is that the US military has been degraded and purged by MAGA and isn't able to cope with drone based warfare over a massive area. You just have ****in idiots like Ted Cruz and Hegseth talking about how women shouldn't serve because they can't do as many pull ups and other dumb ****

    The only goal now is to somehow chicken out and reset things to Feb 2026 but the Iranians don't have any reason to. China & Russia LOVING it


    The US lost again, and it's all due to one man (Trump) and all the pieces of trash who voted for him. (@Space Ghost )

    The takeaway is that to get @Space Ghost onboard with the Russia Ukraine War all Biden needed to do was send in the troops, with zero plans or exit strategies, right?

    Another fake news post by Baghdad Bob. 4 damn long years of constant spamming of the D&D about his braindead daddy Joe Biden should have this homeless loser banned.

    Not bad. Just a fraction of the intelligence they think they have

    most probably,

    Whiskey Hegseth will be the Iran war’s first political casualty, in a manner similar to the demise of DHS's dog-killing ICE barbie



    Trump's scattergun approach has created a vacuum that DUI Hegseth has stepped into, taking on the
    unofficial role of chief war spokesman.​

    Being the face of an extremely expensive conflict that most Americans do not support, however, leaves
    Whiskey Pete exposed

    [​IMG]

    If the public sours on the war, they continued, then Whiskey Hegseth can soak up the criticism by “looking so over the top and out of the loop with what President Trump really thinks”.

    Hegseth’s political survival is now tied to the war and to the president. Both of them are beyond his control.​

    Trump had NO plan for this war. He thought Iran would fold after the leadership was killed. Thought it would be easy like Venezuela. Now his is stuck. If he pulls out, he looks weak with No stomach for war. This is what happens when you put an incompetent felon in-charge. THANKS MAGA!

    The r****ds like @basso and @Space Ghost were posting dancing Iranians over here and have such little understanding about the geopolitics of the region.

    they can’t fathom that the people hate th US more than their own govt, or that it’s surprising when their democratically elected govt was overthrown in the late 50s for a corrupt puppet

    now the majority shiite population just had its pope equivalent assasinated with his 2 yo grand daughter and 200 school aged girls and they’re surprised that most of the demonstrations are anti US with no uprising in sight

    Our education and school system is amongst the worst in the world and it shows with folks like these
