War Update

Last night social media was full of Democrats who had been briefed on the war and were appalled. Elizabeth Warren is one example:

Today it looks like every Democrat but Fetterman is going to vote for an anti-war resolution in the Senate, but it will almost certainly fail. I’d characterize this as an “engineered vote” because there are at least a few Democrats who are fine with the war, and I’m assuming Thune has picked some designated anti-war caucus members who can make a symbolic vote. (Who knows, that number might well be zero.)

In the “Mom, Mom he hit me back” category, Trump said this the other night:

Iran claims that that multiple radar installations in those countries have been damaged or destroyed. Without radar, you can’t aim the multi-million dollar missiles that you need to shoot down the multi-thousand dollar drones.

Iran has planned for this scenario for over 40 years. Only a bunch of idiots would think that they wouldn’t fight back. And only a bunch of idiots would think a deeply entrenched regime could be “decapitated”. The next leader of Iran will probably be the son of the octegenarian that we killed (along with his daughter and granddaughter).

I needed some gas yesterday and it turns out that two of the gas stations in town had prices that were 35 cents per gallon different — one of them apparently gotten the memo that oil prices are going up. Here’s why:

My timeline is full of insecure weak Republican men shit talking about war, but at some point they’re going to have to declare victory and walk away, because we’re running out of munitions. The surest indication of that is Trump’s insistence that we aren’t.
