From the prior thread;
“I’d be ok with troops on Kharg Island to seize the oil terminal; without that facility, Iran is screwed.
Bitter, I tried to write the other day, but my phone keeps locking me out of WordPress (or vice versa). Hope you are enjoying Juneau. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to stop in Homer as well; they have ice cream right on the pier!”

If we were going to seize Kharg Island it would have been done months ago. The MFs in Teran know Trump won’t do it, especially now. Oil prices would go through the roof with the midterms coming up. To say nothing of the casualties. Trump’s buying into their “we badly want to make a deal” BS and granting Iran a ten week pause in military pressure was a catastrophic mistake. They now have us right where they want us. They know it, and despite all his bravado, Trump knows it. It opens the door to a Republican electoral disaster in November. That will be horrible for the country.

🚨 UPDATE — LARRY KUDLOW rips Senate GOP leadership to Sen. Lankford’s face: “Right now, YOU, the leadership are BUNGLING EVERYTHING! […] You’re bungling everything. NOTHING IS GETTING DONE. Your messaging is non-existent. You lost your swag. No one knows what the HECK YOU’RE DOING!”

Bombing has been gone on for 10 days now.
But Phil is still not happy.
He wants Trump to wave the magic wand and make a 50 year old complex problem go way in an instant.
Again, the idea that Trump is somehow “fooled” and “bought into” whatever blah blah blah is unmitigated trash.
There are no miracle solutions. Trump needs to stay the course and ignore the noise.

The US does not need Khargh Island. It is useless if Iran can’t use it to export oil. The blockade ensure that.
The Iranians think that if they can last until the elections somehow a Dem congress might be of help to them.
But its the wrong calculation. Once the election is over, whatever the result, Trump will have a free hand to do what he wants without regard to political consequences.

This is actually hilarious.
Iran’s Ayatollah has been killed. Their senior military leadership likewise several times over. Their nuclear sites were destroyed. Their military infrastructure and military industrial capacity was severely damaged. Their navy and air force were vaporized. They have lost tens of billions in oil revenue and their economy is in shambles. Their proxies Hamas and Hezbollah have been decimated. Their political influence in the Arab world is down to about zero.
But hey, “they have us right where they want us”.
You can’t make this sh-t up.

IF trump actuly ows up a bridge or power statio. In Iran for ever shot the Iranwackjovs fire on a ship….
How long will it be before the crack CNN journalist team fes this report from Iran.

“Well Britt, we are here on the ground in Iran reporting. We are Interviewing the mother of a family here after Trump started blowing up power plants and bridges for no reason at all, except to shift focus from the bad and from the ever worsening U.S. economy and the various Trump administration scandals–from the Epstein files, to the reflecting pool problems, to the Trump tearing down of the one wing of the white house.”
(Now sticking microphone on fron of distraught looking Iranian woman)
“Fatima, tell us what is has been like since Trump–unilaterally, without congressional approval and without provocation–unleashed this dastardly and deadly asset of the Uranian people.”
FATIMA: “Well Martha Radditz, it has caused much, much hardship.”
“The fresh fruit and vegetable stand is on the other side of the river and we no longer can get there to get fruit and vegetables now that Trump destoyed the bridge. Why does Trump and U.S. want everyone in Iran to starve???”
“Also, since we now have no electricity, the kids all have to do their school homework by candle light. Their grades will surely suffer. Plus it is 100 degrees here and I am really sweaty in my full burka garb covering me from head to toe…no air conditioning available any more. Why does Trump want to see Iramian women suffer???”
“Also, everyone in the family–kids, everyone–have to spend 6 hours a day to gather whatever camel dung we can find to have enough to make a fire on the roof of our house to cook our meals. The kids cry and cry each night, they will all have to quit school. …”
“Why does Trump not want Iranian kids to go to school? “
Trmp wants to get rid of our leaders. Byt we electrd the.. Why does Trump hate that we have a democratically elected govern.ent. Why does Trump hate democracy.???”
“We did ‘t do nuffin’, this is harassment, we didn’t do nuffin’, you has no right to do this, we know our rights, I am going to get a lawyer and take you to court, you can’t put your hands on me. Don’t tas me, bro…This is racist, bro… I have a constitutional right to spit on you if I want. Resisting?no I ain’t resisting….”

Martha Radditz has to add:
“Britt, we are sorry for that last paragraph. We apparently had technical difficulties and added the last paragraph from a recent police encounter in the U.S.with some person of the oppressed class who obviously didn’t do nuffin wrong, brcause they said so.”

Played bridge today.
Got to listen to my wife being interviewed on local radio for 15 minutes just before bridge started.
Was about her being selected by Washington Area Council of Gi Scouts as a “Wo.a of Distinction.”
She did fantatic job.

Had an enjoyable bridge day, despite coming in 3rd. Or was it 4th?…IDK… did not stop me from having fun.

In Sitka today. Learned about totem poles, Russian history on the island, and saw big trees.
The native people here have 9,000 years in the area. There is a totem pole of an old man and a cow. Strange since there were no cows here 9,000 years ago.
I find native cultures fascinating. GFY.

There were steppe bison in the area during the Ice Age. Maybe some took some license with a steppe bison.
I was in Sitka. The King salmon was excellent. Halibut too.
I find native foods fascinating. GFYs.

AOC claimed a bill in Congress was “merging the US military with the IDF”.
Lee Zeldin was not having it and tore her a new a-hole.
“Instead of merging the part of your brain that hates Jews with the part of your brain concocting your daily lies, you should try merging the part of your brain responsible for reading bill text with the part of your brain responsible for critical thinking,” he wrote.
