Operational Excellence, Strategic Incompetence The president and his advisers are in the grip of “victory disease.”

The efficient and rapid destruction of buildings and machines, and the killing of some enemy leaders, is not the same thing as a strategy.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces, sources say The assistance could help Iran locate American warships, radar or other communication systems, but there's no indication Moscow is helping direct Iranian strikes, sources tell NBC News.

The Iranian aerial attacks appear to be more precise than in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June, and more focused on radar sites and communication posts in particular.

Trump Officials Now Want Ukraine's Help To Counter Iranian Drones In The Ultimate Twist Of Irony Trump was calling Zelenskyy a "dictator" who "does not have the cards" in the Ukraine war just a year ago.

The US request comes after the Trump administration put relations with Ukraine under immense strain over the last year. In his bid to end the war as soon as possible, Trump has repeatedly sided with Vladimir Putin, despite the US’s alliance with Ukraine.

The U.S. unexpectedly loses 92,000 jobs, adding to worries about the economy The job market showed further signs of weakness last month as employers cut 92,000 jobs. The unemployment rate inched up to 4.4%, from 4.3% in January.
