Prime-time disappointment
In a 19 min prime-time address, #Trump squashed hope among investors of an end to the #war in the #MiddleEast, saying Washington will hit #Iran "extremely hard" over the next 2 to 3 weeks.
With no timeline for an end to the #US - #Israel war with Iran & with the #StraitOfHormuz staying closed, investors were quick to return to what they did in March: Selling #stocks, buying US dollars & sending #oil prices higher.

"Donald Trump’s unlawful war in Iran is escalating rapidly, and the gap between what he’s saying and what’s actually happening has never been wider. We are now seeing the deployment of one of the most elite rapid-response forces in the United States military, the 82nd Airborne Division. This is not a symbolic move or a small advisory presence."

"It's been 10 days🚨since #Hegseth & Caine last briefed on #Iran. No CENTCOM briefing since 3/10, & no Pentagon daily press briefing at all. We learn more of what the #US military has been doing from bystander videos than #DoD. Historic lack of transparency & accountability."

A week ago, after #Trump threatened to attack Iran “TWENTY TIMES HARDER” if Tehran stopped #oil flowing through the #StraitOfHormuz, Larijani responded on X∶
“The sacrificial nation of Iran doesn’t fear your empty threats. Even those bigger than you couldn’t eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.”

Just days before the US launched a major military operation in #Iran, Patel fired a dozen agents & staff members from a #counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring #threats from Iran, acc/to 2 sources….
They were ousted for a simple reason: Each was involved in the investigation of #Trump’s alleged retention of #ClassifiedDocuments.

So… not “America First” eh?
The #Trump admin on Wednesday announced a 60-day waiver of #JonesAct #shipping #regulations to help ease deliveries of #fuel & #fertilizer to combat rising #prices & #supply disruptions caused by #TrumpsWar in #Iran.
Under the Jones Act, goods shipped between #US ports must be carried on vessels that are US/built, US-flagged & mostly US-owned.

Both the United States and Israel were shaped by political systems built alongside racial hierarchy and contested citizenship.
Each proclaimed democratic ideals while simultaneously managing populations excluded from the full promise of those ideals.
They are both profoundly unfree and racially riven societies..
That shared history matters.

Here's a question that goes unasked by dumbasses. Why should the nation committing genocide overthrow the nation resisting it? How is 'America' justified in anything, while Iran should be destroyed for existing? Haven't White people figured it out yet, after so many wars in their name, so much genocide to their shame, and for so little gain? You're the bad guys.
