Trump should be focused on creating jobs and lowering costs, not waging a thoughtlessΒ war in Iran.

Job numbers are down. Gas prices are up.Β Health care premiums are skyrocketing.

This is failed leadership.

β€œIt does seem like it’s a pretty comprehensive effort,” one of the people said.

The Russian Embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment. Moscow has called for an end to the war, which it labeled an β€œunprovoked act of armed aggression.”

DID THE NAVY JUST SINK SHIPPING?

Was there any discussion about the impact that sinking an Iranian frigate near a heavily trafficked shipping lane would have on global shipping.

The survivors were brought into Galle on the SW coast of Sri Lanka, which is near a heavily congested route.

"The exercise in question required ships not to carry any ammunition. Normally, the Dena carries various missiles and guns, including anti-ship missiles. Because the U.S. also took part, it would have been aware that the Dena was unarmed."

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Russia is helping Iran attack America, and Ukraine is helping America defend itself from Russia and Iran.

It is time to renew our support for Ukraine and Europe, and stop Trump's ongoing appeasement of Putin. Congress must now revive the Russia sanctions bill, get serious here.

A military culture where the Secretary say he will ignore β€œstupid rules of engagement” leads to the US sinking what they likely knew was an unarmed ship, killing more than 80 sailors with 62 others still missing.

The drone pipeline reverses: Russia now guides Iranian strikes against American troops – Washington Post A partnership built in Ukraine's skies is now being used against American positions in the Middle East.

Russia is feeding Iran targeting data on US warships in the Middle East - the same surveillance playbook refined against Ukraine.

The drone partnership that battered Ukrainian cities is now being turned against American positions, with strike precision analysts say Iran can't achieve alone.
