The secret is finally out. The more influence you have, the more money you attract from donors. Another news flash for you, it's not what you get, it's what you give back. I don't believe any of them went to war on Israel's behalf or promoted any other aggressive action by them.Keep telling yourself that.

You are replying to the same person who regularly asserts that being in the Epstein files 50,000 times is not proof of nefarious behavior. Amazing how his views on circumstantial evidence change.

WAR CRIME
The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship
The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.www.yahoo.com
“… But the Dena may not have been armed because it was returning from an international exercise in the Indian Ocean, and the U.S. Navy likely knew it because it was taking part in the same exercise.
Both the United States and Iran were taking part in the MILAN 2026 exercise, organized by the Indian Navy, on February 15–26, with the U.S. sending a maritime patrol aircraft and Iran sending the Dena.Iranian sailors from the ship paraded on land before India’s president.
… The exercise in question required ships not to carry any ammunition. Normally, the Dena carriesvarious missiles and guns, including anti-ship missiles. Because the U.S. also took part, it would have been aware that the Dena was unarmed.
Former Indian Foreign Minister Kanwal Sibal accused the attack of being “premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship’s presence in the exercise.”
… At least 87 sailors were killed in the torpedo attack in international waters in the Indian Ocean, and the Sri Lankan navy responded to the Dena’s distress call and rescued 32 survivors, but 61 members of the crew are still missing. The U.S. didn’t respond to the call, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth crowed about the attack to reporters on Wednesday.
… The sinking of the Dena seems to be part of Hegseth’s new policy of ignoring “stupid rules of engagement” and “punching them while they’re down,” and it raises questions of what the Trump administration would say if a country like Iran attacked an American ship it knew was unarmed.“
If this reporting is true, then the order to sink the IRIS Dena by the U.S. Navy may go down as one of the few and one of the greatest acts of cowardice by the U.S. Navy.

Trump doesn't believe in the rapture.
Sure he does. He danced to it. Might have even known Deborah Harry.

Sure. Our guys are awesome. Its the other guys that are letting Israel run rampant. Those bribes don't mean anything. I wonder why they keep paying them.
"In the West Bank, Israel is expanding official settlements and nationalizing land at a faster clip than any time in the last decade, while turning a blind eye to unprecedented growth in illegal outposts [during the Biden administration]. Violent attacks by extremist settlers against Palestinian civilians have reached record levels."

At an Atlantic Council Front Page event, Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered remarks on the Biden administration’s Middle East policy and the prospects for peace in the region.

This is so pathetic and cowardly.
The Trump administration is constantly setting dangerous precedents, and we will have no moral standing to protest if/when the tables are turned in the future.

I'd have to give him credit for that. What a bunch of nonsense.

Holy shit is this for real? This is some real evil shit. The type of thing that should end up with Hegseth getting tried before an international court.The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship

So…not over in four to five weeks? No worry, Callatoroy will change his opinion as quickly as he did on tariffs and everything else. Can’t wait to hear about how stupid we are all for not loving the idea of a drawn out $10 trillion war that advances our interest exactly nowhere.

I was scrolling and legit thought these were teletubbies.
Apparently the US and Israel are bombing the primary airport in Tehran. It is on the front page of the bbc and nothing on American media pages.

CNN has been covering it extensively… I think the way most of the major outlets have started using live update streams and with as fast and furious as news is incoming there is a failure to discern between major and minor details minute to minute.
