DID PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST THREATEN NUCLEAR STRIKE ON IRAN? Threatening *an entire population* with death, if acted upon, would be the worst crime against humanity, and history. Nothing could be worse. That he has even said this should alarm every American, every citizen of the world. This is not hyperbole. This is a direct threat, when he has already put a timestamp on a deadline: tonight at 8p Eastern. Members of Congress, both the House and Senate, especially the leadership, should demand public clarification from the president, immediately. This is the potential bitter fruit of Congress' failure to serve its Constitutional function by checking and balancing the Chief Executive. Now he believes he's free to do as he pleases, answering to no one. Now - and I mean *right now* - is the moment, possibly a last chance, for Congress to represent us in Washington and ensure that something mad does not happen which could stain us all with a horrible crime, and consequences of which could be devastating even on us, as the retaliation against America could be greater, more deadly than anyone in the White House is apparently imagining. @SpeakerJohnson @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer

🚨 Trump’s Strategic Error: We Can’t Walk This One Back As a 4X war veteran and faithful patriot, I am issuing this direct warning that “Donald J. Trump is Disconnected from Reality" My urgent plea to those inside the administration: "The hope now is that someone inside the administration — J.D. Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, anyone — tells the president the truth: do not (launch ground operations on Iranian territory). Even if planning is underway or orders have been drafted, they must be stopped. Allowing momentum to carry us into an operation that produces casualties and body bags would be catastrophic, especially if it yields no strategic gains. That outcome would make America’s position far worse." "President Trump is driven by imagery and video. He lives on social media, watches television constantly, and responds far more to short, dramatic clips than to (accurate, necessary) intelligence briefings." This has pushed U.S. strategy into crisis in the Iran war and Middle East conflict: We’ve made a major strategic error by choosing this wholly unnecessary war w Iran, and it’s unclear how we get out of it. "As of today, it will be extremely difficult to extract ourselves without further damage to U.S. credibility and regional interests."

Quite unfortunately, how can we take anything to president says at face value? Per request of Iran, Trump said he has delayed by 10 days his second delay of an ultimatum? Earlier today, from his cabinet meeting, President Trump said Iran was all but defeated and barely had any missile or drone capacity left. Literally as he was saying that, Trey Yingst from Fox News was reporting live from Tel Aviv that the 10th *round* of missile fire from Iran was falling on Israel at that moment! Meanwhile, foreign minister Aragchi said in public that there were no negotiations, there would be no negotiations, unless the American side submitted to Iranian demands for a ceasefire or end of war negotiation. And those demands are substantial. One wonders, whether this is just another delay by President Trump because he doesn’t want to make good on his threat to destroy Iranian energy infrastructure – knowing that Iran will certainly make good on its threat to devastate energy facilities of our allies and friends in the region – and maybe it’s just to buy more time to reload from the lack of missiles that we have, both offensive and defensive, in order to continue the war. And of course, all this is in the context of the very real potential for a highly risky and very foolish US ground operation somewhere in the Persian Gulf, potentially as soon as this weekend. Everywhere, you wanna look, the United States and our military plan is failing. The ultimate proof remains in looking at the Strait of Hormuz, that it remains firmly control of Tehran. All the bluster, 10,000 air strikes from the US hitting Iranian targets, all the attacks from Israel, have still not been able to force it open. God help us all if we conduct a ground operation, the casualties could be horrific.
