Holy shit

In #Russia's #war against #Ukraine, Russia has lost 221,206 soldiers, confirmed. The actual number could be closer to ~350,000 :amaze:

That is more then the total US combat related deaths in World War 2..


🧵 On my drive back from Oregon yesterday I stopped by the Tule Lake WWII Japanese concentration camp. It is now a vacant lot with only the stone monument seen below to mark the location & history.

#HouseRepublicans, you tiny wimpy nothings

Republican leaders pulled a resolution to halt the #IranWar that had been scheduled for a vote Thursday evening, after it became clear they just didn’t have enough votes to defeat it.

The #sister of the #President of #Ireland has been #kidnapped and taken #hostage by #Israel.

How is this not getting wall-to-wall #coverage on every #news outlet? How is there not an #international #military operation to bring her back?

A #genocidal state kidnapped a #family member of a head of state. That sort of thing is usually considered an act of #war.

She is also a #medical #doctor.

We now have a Korean family, a Mexican family, a Puerto Rican family - all within a 4 block radius. I am looking forward to backyard cultural BBQ wars this Summer. A bunch of ethnic BBQ battles - my smoke smells better than yours! You don't even know how to marinade! My BBQ is hotter!
From both: You shut up!
From me: Keep cooking!

I love it all!

Amid ongoing #ForeignPolicy crises around the globe & as the #Trump admin fails to reach a deal to end the #war with #Iran, the #US #State Dept last week finalized the #firings of nearly 250 #diplomats in a brief, impersonal email.

#Pentagon halts deployments to #Poland & #Germany to cut troop numbers in #Europe, AP sources say

The Pentagon is drawing down thousands of troops in Europe by canceling deployments to Poland & Germany as opposed to yanking forces already stationed there, #US officials say, as #Trump has tussled with #allies over the #Iran #war & called for changes.

Meanwhile.... Remember the #Jan6 RICO case implicating so many#TrumpVirus criminals in #sedition ??

Never-before-seen transcripts shed light on Trump's most prominent allies


Over five dozen grand jury transcripts from the Georgia criminal case against President Donald Trump were publicly released on Thursday, announced Lawfare's Anna Bower on X.

The 61 transcripts include previously unseen testimony from prominent Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham, and Cleta Mitchell.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought the case, which accused Trump and his attorneys and political operatives of a racketeering scheme to overturn the 2020 election results. Several Trump allies pleaded guilty in exchange for reduced sentences.


Happy Friday .... rest up if you can, as more #war & #WordSalad, plus #Ballroom updates, are ready for the weekend! (Us, too?)

Brutally honest analysis of Trump’s failure in #Iran & its impact on the #US & #GlobalOrder from Robert Kagan

Checkmate in Iran

It’s hard to think of a time when the #UnitedStates suffered a total defeat in a conflict, a setback so decisive that the strategic loss could be neither repaired nor ignored.

💥 The #weapons used to destroy Palestinian lives don’t come from nowhere; they’re made in factories near you.

Before they’re shipped abroad and used to maim children, level homes and wipe out entire communities, they pass through supply chains rooted in our own cities, our own economies.

#US forces fired on & disabled 2 Iranian #oil tankers on Friday after exchanging fire with #Iran forces in the #StraitOfHormuz overnight. The #UAE, meanwhile, reported another Iranian missile & drone attack.

The attacks cast more doubt on a tenuous month-old “ceasefire” that the US has insisted is still in effect. The #Trump admin is awaiting an Iranian response to its latest proposal for a deal to end the #war, reopen the strait & roll back Iran’s #nuclear program.

apnews.com/live/trump-administ…


The administration calls it a "little detour." One hundred seventy-four civilians dead. Twenty-five billion dollars. Zero congressional votes. When the past RNC chair calls it war crimes, you're not reading partisan screed—you're reading a smoke alarm. The land is keeping score. It always has.

So much for the “ceasefire” talks going well. Not that I believe anything from this admin.

#US launches #strikes on #Iran after attacks on warships, military says

The “self-defense strikes” followed attacks on 3 US naval vessels, #CENTCOM said in a statement. None of the US warships were hit.

#Trump admin sows “confusion” as it tries to reopen #StraitOfHormuz [they just have no idea what they’re doing]

The Trump admin’s approach to the #IranWar over the past 24 hrs has pinballed from declarations that a tenuous ceasefire was holding & military operations were over to new threats of bombing the Islamic Republic.

The #US #military fired on an Iranian #oil tanker Wednesday as #Trump seeks to pressure #Iran into accepting a deal to end the #war.

A fighter jet shot out the rudder of the tanker in the Gulf of Oman as it tried to breach the US #blockade of Iran’s ports, #CENTCOM posted.

The attack occurred as Iran & the US are supposedly in a ceasefire. Trump threatened Tehran with a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached that includes opening the critical #StraitOfHormuz.

apnews.com/article/iran-us-isr…


#Trump posted on social media that the war with #Iran could soon end & #oil & natural #gas shipments could restart. But that all depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that Trump did not detail.

“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” Trump wrote.

LA Times: California braces for uncertainty as last shipment of Persian Gulf oil arrives in Long Beach

"...The last California-bound oil tanker to pass through the Strait of Hormuz since war erupted is at the Port of Long Beach offloading its valuable cargo — 2 million barrels of crude destined to be transformed into gasoline, jet fuel and diesel.....In two weeks, the Hong Kong-flagged tanker will have fully unloaded at the Marathon Petroleum terminal and departed again for distant waters. After that, California must figure out how to replace some 200,000 barrels of oil a day that will no longer be arriving from the Persian Gulf. ..."

#Trump is withdrawing 5k troops from #Germany

The #US is withdrawing 5k ​troops from Germany, the ‌#Pentagon announced Friday, in a rebuke to the close ​#NATO ally amid a ⁠widening rift between Trump & #Europe ​over the #Iran #war.

Trump had threatened a drawdown in forces ​earlier this week ​after sparring with German Chancellor Friedrich ‌#Merz, ⁠who said the Iranians were humiliating the US in talks ​to ​end ⁠the 2-month-old war.

#Hegseth's holy #war

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has a longstanding fascination with the Crusades.

That’s right, the Crusades: the series of late 11th to 13th century medieval wars in which Europeans fought to control the Holy Land. He has tattoos that reference the Crusades, something that actually came up in his confirmation hearing in 2025. And his 2020 book is titled American Crusade.

The final chapter is titled “Make the Crusade Great Again.”

🕊️ Imagine a world without war, where the machines and structures of destruction fall silent.

Warplanes grounded and swallowed by vegetation, tanks seized in place. The waves reclaim coastal fortresses left behind. Bunkers forgotten below city streets. Propaganda fades and loses meaning
