Trump saying it is OK that Russia is helping Iran kill Americans has even the most MAGA-addled unable to respond. They have nowhere to go, except express blind loyalty to their master. If he says it, it must be right.

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

So Trump rolls out the red carpet for Putin, protects Putin, bullies the Ukrainians for Putin, and in return Putin helps Iranians kill Americans.

Trump must act now or the case for him being a Russian asset of some type will be undeniable.

Inside the Trump administration’s scramble to support its own war One State Department official said too few people were read in on war plans.

U.S. Central Command is now saying internally that this war against Iran is likely to last through September, according to information obtained by @politico.com.

This would easily cost over $100 billion, and that number could go much higher.
