Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."
We took a little βexcursionβ.
Via bombings using old data, friendly fire shooting down our planes, unsupported American evacuations, sinking an unarmed ship... THOSE excursions?
Two weeks ago.
Such a huge backfire. I can almost hear it...

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani to Trump:
YOU MORONS, IF YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE, ARREST THEM!!!
And why the F did you fire most of the FBI Counter terrorism team. If there's a domestic incident, it's on Trump, Noem and Patel's hands, NO ONE ELSE'S!
And what does Trump do...... past the blame as usual!
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasnβt gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

... Fool me twice, shame on me...
They're not morons like we are. They've moved on, as they've made it clear.
Again. He is a moron and a crook. Obviously 'we' aren't benefitting but obviously he's got a side gig.

METLIFE: β.. Tax Refunds Are Disappointing

Trump to Local 12 Cincinnati: "There's never been a better year for a president. I've been rated. That includes the stoppage of 8 wars with a 9th to come. The economy is roaring. It's phenomenal. That's why I'm here. This is an excursion, a little excursion, and I think it's only that."
Do you get credit for ending a war you started, that didn't even accomplish your objectives?
Forgoing food. Cutting back on utilities. Driving less. Borrowing money. These are the sacrifices that tens of millions of people are making to afford their health care expenses, according to a West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America survey released.
βͺNBC Newsβ¬ βͺ@nbcnews.comβ¬ Β· 11m Defense Department officials told senators in a closed-door briefing that they estimate the first six days of the war in Iran cost more than $11.3 billion, three sources say.
Quite the split screen:
-Millions of Americans are skipping meals or cutting back on utilities to afford health care
-First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3 billion, Pentagon tells Congress
Nothing like pouring gas on an imploding economy.
(And stupid since gas is so expensive now π)
Can't wait for the post mortem that concludes the majority of those missiles were inappropriately or unnecessarily fired. Immature, unqualified little boys playing war.

They have cards because they have Zelensky. He's a smart, strategic leader who listens to advisors, makes plans and follows through. ALL qualities Trump lacks.
He should be HUMILIATED by having to play a stooge.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
Theyβll play this in museums in future.

He needs underarm sweat pads that ladies used to wear.
If we had more reporters like her he would have EXPLODED already
You're THE BEST REPORTER I've seen in a very long time!
