I was thinking, last night, I should have topped up the gas tank, when I was out and about yesterday afternoon.

The Latest: US and Israel attack Iran as Trump says US begins 'major combat operations'

No money for USian's food. No money for USian's health care. But Trillions to fight Israel's wars.

But Trillions to fight Israel's wars.

With Hezbollah's primary source of money and equipment distracted, how long before Israel occupies Lebanon?

The "cease fire" between Israel and Lebanon, established over a year ago, is ignored by Israel on a regular basis.

the accounting, according to the net sifter:

Since the November 2024 ceasefire, Israel has launched thousands of violations in Lebanon, with reports indicating over 15,400 ceasefire violations by Israeli forces, including significant airstrikes and ground incursions. These near-daily attacks have killed more than 370 people in Lebanon.

Key details regarding the post-ceasefire strikes include:

Total Violations: The UNIFIL and Lebanese government report over 15,400 violations, including approximately 7,500 air violations and 2,500 ground violations.

Casualties: More than 370 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon since the ceasefire began.

Intensity: Attacks are ongoing on a near-daily basis, primarily targeting southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.

Impact: The strikes have driven repeated waves of displacement and destroyed civilian infrastructure, with over 64,000 people still displaced in Lebanon as of October 2025.


...because Israel says it is entitled to everything as far as the Euphrates, and US Ambassador Huckabee gave that position the color of US support.

theAtlantic had reported there was

- no trump interest in a viable path to avoid hot warfare, since ignoring his own prior terms for talks
- zero agreement by eu\nato allies to participate beyond normal intelligence sharing
- no mid-long term strategy beyond trump's last PR warfare adventure

in a signal i thought too weak for trump to grasp, an american general leaked that that america was at supply risk in an extended (>6 week) conflict. no problem, its another strike->run->declare victory ("they are totally defeated").
let's hope trump doesnt realize these strikes cripple drones sold to putin.

cue idiotic MAGA applause for the peace president.

God and Savior Trump is demanding regime change, so a hit and run, like last summer, isn't going to fill the bill.

Concerns about US ammo running low, especially after supporting Israel's ethnic cleansing project in Gaza, are real.

The Generals Said No but Trump Was Bored of Peace

Reports from inside the White House say Trump’s military advisers, including Gen. Dan “Raizin” Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have warned the president against a full-scale attack on Iran, briefing not just that it could cost American lives but dangerously degrade already depleted weapons stockpiles. Trump dismissed a Washington Post report that Caine is “against us going to War with Iran” as “100% incorrect.”

God on Earth Trump can't declare victory and walk away, if it gets sticky, because the war is being directed by Jerusalem.
