Ack! Turkey is missing.

On Feb 28, 2026, the USA, partnered with Israel, without cause, started dropping bombs on Iran.

Today, October 19, 2026 UPDATE, I count 19 nations involved.
14¹ active or promised agressors/defenders
3² mediators
2 silent, unacknowledging helpers.

Of all the above, two are superpowers, SEVEN⁴ are nuclear armed ( counting Israel).

Five⁵ are nations outside the ME, including the initial aggressor.

So, what do we call this?

I completely do not get what France thinks it is at, but perhaps there are deep signed-in-blood treaties that I do not know about.

The again, I guess all treaties are effectively signed in blood.

Im just curious. The President signed the Graham law, and it is a law of the USA now, and the President is just not going to apply the bits that don't suit him?

The President can do that?

With ANY law written by congress and signed by him?

Seriously?

Note how 'resigning' saves the administration from having to state a reason for recalling her.

Just want to point out, Guilford got canned for getting caught, not for the corruption.

There are so many outrageous breaches of norms, and of law, that we forgot about the outrageous that happened three outrages ago.

So, I am starting a list.

Rep. Ilhan Omar has the dubious honor of being first on my list.

I'll try to fill in a bit, too: Hegseth's livestream idea should follow him to his grave, for example.

Ah dear, wipes tear of laughter from my face. I only just came across Kailin Collins mug event. The President has called her a nasty woman, and the camera side of her mug now reads, "America Needs Nasty Women".
Most gloriously of all, she never mentions it. It's just there, on the CNN newsdesk, in full view.

On what date did Trump first promise that the war on Iran would end "very soon"?

Are we not already long passed "very soon" for that date?

#VerySoon

Europe just needs to learn the lesson that they MUST get off diesel. Changing their purchasing source is just not working out (Russia > the Gulf > U.S.A.).

Go wind, solar and wave!

Bombing is an appalling, catastrophic action.

It is not a garden party you plan to go to after we all stop wearing white.

Get the war criminal out before he starts another slaughter, and if that is not enough a push for Vance, then be selfish: get the war criminal out before he starts sending our children and grandchildren to die, over there.

#Iran

So, Trump plans to start bombing Iran again after the midterms, and NOONE is dragging him out of the White House and into jail.

Trump started this illegal war, and I still don't know why.

No one is controlling his insanity.

He keeps using words that imply we all agree with his framing that Iran is somehow the bad guy in this.

Trump needs to be removed from office. The VP needs to do his job under the constitution.

I wonder how long it will be before a future MAGA-esque movement elected Big Balls to the U.S. Presidency. I was just reading about him. He is exactly their character profile.
