Trump continues to speed run the end of America, Pete Hegseth fired the Army Chief five weeks into this, still incomprehensible, war. A sure sign that things are going well. I'm just speculating here but maybe Gen. Randy George was objecting to the regime committing war crimes by bombing civilian infrastructure. Or maybe it's because Trump loudly declares his intent to continue to bomb power stations, hospitals, schools, and bridges, on an almost daily basis. Or maybe they are just getting rid of everyone who disagrees with the regime. However you want to slice it, Hegseth and Trump have fired at least 20 senior military officials since he took office.
Since this most recent firing, Trump spent a week threatening to end the Iranian civilization, if they don't "Open the fucking strait, ya bastards". I had to log on to truthsocial.com for the first time in my life to verify that he really said that...
Just before the (taco) Tuesday deadline that he set for their annihilation, he decided to accept a ceasefire deal that the Iranians had sent over a week earlier. The next day Israel violated the ceasefire agreement by unleashing a massive coordinated 10 minute attack across many parts of Lebanon and especially Beirut. They then claimed that Lebanon was never part of the deal, the US agreed, and just like that the ceasefire was over practically before it started.
Ed Note: At the time of this post the ceasefire is technically still in effect, but the US is also now blockading the Strait of Hormuz, another clear violation.
All of it is exhausting, conspiratorially I wonder if maybe that's the point? Rationally I think that's giving these fools too much credit. No, there's no 5th dimensional game of chess being played here.
What we're watching is just the random gyrations of selfish, narcissistic, self-absorbed, assholes with too much power and an inability to self reflect being enabled by a mass of citizens who think that these are good qualities to have, actually.
They are going to break the world trying to mold it into their warped vision for the future of humanity, and then, if we let them, they'll blame someone else and walk away, leaving the mess for future generations.
We shouldn't let that happen, they are committing war crimes, and they should all be held to account.
