Not to mention those small speedboats that cause chaos during war games and simulations.

They’ve backed the Houthi militias for years who’ve managed to strangle or at least disrupt shipping through the Red Sea.

Sounds about right.
At least Bush/Cheney engaged in months of foreplay to get us ready for the Iraq invasion.
The entire justification unraveled in less than three days.
I’m looking forward to seeing news reports of the lines of red hats at the recruitment offices this morning.
Eh? Oh.
Barron should be at the front of the line.

Perfectly normal command structure.
Also, Hegseth had added “The Ayatollah of RocknRollah” to the strike’s group chat.
From the MeidasTouch feed:
Here’s what we know so far:
- Iran has launched “Operation Glad Tidings of Victory” targeting U.S. forces.
- At least 6 missiles fired at U.S. bases in Qatar.
- Explosions heard over Doha, possibly intercepted.
- U.S. jets scrambling over Saudi Arabia.
- More missiles reportedly fired at U.S. bases in Iraq.
- Alarms going off at U.S. air bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
- All U.S. bases in the region may be at risk.
- Trump is back in the Situation Room with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Joint Chiefs.
I mean, what the fuck did they expect?
Classic Middle-east show diplomacy. Iran telegraphs its coming by telling their friend Qatar. Qatar telegraphs to the US by closing its airspace. Iran launches the missiles. They all get shot down. Tit for tat skirmish satisfied. Now they can go back to regular diplomacy.

Qatar and Iran are not friends. They tolerate each other and have sort of a cordial business relationship, but that’s about the extent. Iranians and Arabs don’t hate each other like they do Jews, but they don’t like each other either.

Trump now announcing that Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire.
Iranians are saying they have not received any ceasefire agreement.
It’s almost as if maybe, just maybe, it’s possible Trump isn’t telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
