That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).
The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

"I know he throws any and everyone under the bus the second it becomes expedient to do so, but for me... it will be different" - a seemingly neverending parade of pathetic hangers-on
Trump doesn't have to worry about running for election ever again; as for every single other Republican politician in America from the municipal to the federal level, what say you? Happy to go down with the ship?
For a regime that insisted on renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, and a new and cocky Secretary of War who canβt stop lecturing about lethality and maintaining a warrior ethos, these guys are surprisingly afraid to call a war a war.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

americans canβt afford health care or basic needs but yes tax payer money to illegally bomb and kill school children and civilians
"You're dealing with a lot of lawyers in your own country, I'm sure. You have my permission not to listen to them."
hahaha
No need to indulge in the presumption that this administration's uses of military forceβagainst supposed narcos or otherwiseβare lawful.
Either he genuinely thinks everyone else is stupid or he is truly the dumbest man on Earth
As a lifelong Democratic voter, I say this with full sincerity and conviction: not one dollar for this war, or prepare to serve your final term in office
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trumpβs illegal war.
According to the US and Israeli right wings, Iran has been in the last mile of their nuclear weapons program for my entire adult life.
Netanyahu drew his red line at the UN nearly 14 years ago.
There need to be tribunals when this is over
Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"
Look at the what now???? Sounded like: war? Speaker Johnson, hello?
On the what now? The president said it's a what? It looks like Speaker Johnson is sitting one over from him, I wonder if he heard what the president said this time?
Woims
How to win in November
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβand 9000
miles from North Americaβmakes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
This is some grim Mad Max sh** here....
189th. You aren't here for math skills.
A flag of a Chicago-style hot dog flies from my house. The hot dog is in a poppy seed bun with all the classic trimmings: yellow mustard, bright green relish, chopped onions, tomato wedges, a pickle spear, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
Happy 189th birthday to Chicago!
Chinoceros: A White Rhino, whose two horns are the Sears Tower and Hancock Tower and is chewing on an L train, standing knee deep in Lake Michigan with a cloudy sky behind. The Chino's side is decorated with the four six-pointed stars of the Chicago flag.
Happy 188th birthday, Chicago
Maybe - and I know this is so crazy - but maybe Democrats should just go out and campaign against Trump and his policies bc they are massively unpopular and start worrying more about being seen as insufficiently tough and less about how to be a somewhat Republicany Democrat. Just a thought.
"Trump is going to steal the election" = wrong
"Trump is going to cause a bunch of dumb chaos around the election" = true and correct
If you still fear the strategic genius of Donald Trump after the last few days I don't know what to tell you.
We also just murdered this guyβs parents, his wife, and his son so good luck getting a peace deal
They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.
Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.
