The shadow in shape of a cross under the fighter jet is a brilliant touch to a brilliant cartoon.
@PhillipsPOBrien:
This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.
This chat is excellent. 44:22 Min.
@jansplanet.bsky.social:
Just the intro has me incensed.
@tiberiusfiles referring to above:
ahahahahahaa
He’s begging — BEGGING — for help
You’re definitely stupid and probably evil if you’re not rooting for Iran here
Trump, the kid rapist, always serving Putin and Bibi, lifts sanctions on genocidal Russia, while starving innocent Cubans and plunging them into chaos with no electricity or services. Trump’s a brutal sadist, getting off on hurting millions of kids. I want to know how many kids he raped, and how many he killed after raping them or killed their babies. He ought to be in prison; there’s no punishment strong enough for his crimes, but he needs to be locked up to prevent him from harming millions more.
@karaokecomputer:
This is why we must get everyone to understand that sanctions are not an “alternative” to war; they are an act of war. Sanctions have killed over 38 million people since 1971. Half of those were children under the age of five.
End the Siege on Cuba!
@lawprofblawg:
France decides not to enable the narcissist.
@Currentreport1:
BREAKING:
France has officially rejected Trump’s request, saying it will not send warships to the Strait of Hormuz
@KimIversenShow:
It’s clear the silent majority of the world is rooting for Iran.
@AdameMedia:
Your enemies aren’t in Tehran.
They’re in Washington.
They’re in Tel Aviv.
@EwanMacKenna:
Donald Trump this week (genuinely)?
Wednesday: Oil will never be cheaper.
Thursday: We’ve won.
Friday: They’ve nothing left.
Saturday: Can others please help us.
@tiberiusfiles to Hegseth quote below:
Your commander-in-chief said their military was, and I quote, ‘100% destroyed’ — so what are they shooting with, bananas?
@TheMaineWonk:
Trump Last Week: We don’t need British Ships because we’ve already won the war.
Trump This Morning: Hopefully the UK will send ships.
Absolute joke of an administration getting us all into a massive quagmire.
@yarotrof:
Iran fired 9 missiles just at the UAE today.
It fired 7 yesterday.
10 on Thursday
13 on Wednesday
8 on Tuesday.
Seems like the tempo of Iranian missile attacks at its principal target is broadly undiminished so far. We are still at dozens of ballistic missiles fired across the Middle East daily. Far from functionally destroyed, at least as of today.
@HarleyShah:
I think my favourite thing said so far has got to be
“We have completely taken out Iran’s military and the Strait of Hormuz is safe and open, apart from the obvious risk of being shot by Iran’s military” generational stuff
@MalcolmNance:
Is there NO ONE in Washington who will say loudly and in front of a camera, “YOU’RE A FUCKING MORON!”
Because he is a fucking moron.
@unusual_whales:
Hegseth: “The only thing prohibiting transit in [Hormuz] right now is Iran shooting at shipping.”
@tiberiusfiles:
Trump: China, France, Britain, Japan — please, please, please — will someone help us open up the Straight of Hormuz! You need it as well!
Iran: Yo, everyone can use it except the US and Israel
Iran has played a masterclass in asymmetrical warfare
Iran’s handling of the US and Israel has been the most impressive I’ve ever seen any country perform strategically or militarily. The US military has a budget of more than 100x Iran’s, and has been the global hegemon for decades while Iran was heavily sanctioned. Legendary, truly
Respect and admiration! Wow that Iranian woman has courage, heart and integrity, of which MAGAs (Canadian and American), the Epstein Class and Trump Regime have none. Destroying Iran’s cultural sites, history, health care, education, libraries, etc., and Palestine’s, etc. has nothing to do with nukes, it’s just about racism and hatred of anything not white christian (usually fake) American or white jewish (often faked to go steal lands from others) Israeli.
@ScotNational:
BREAKING: The US and Israel’s attacks on Iran breached international law – so both nations’ militaries would be banned outright from an independent Scotland, John Swinney has said
@tiberiusfiles:
This is how you stand up for international law — not by allowing British RAF bases to be used for illegal bombing campaigns
There needs to be a massive campaign to hold Starmer accountable for helping to bomb Iran
Al Jazeera Breaking News @AJENews:

The US government has lost its mindUnder Trump, the USA regime never had/has a mind
@FrenchResponse:
No. The French aircraft carrier strike group remains in the Eastern Mediterranean.
France’s posture is unchanged:
✔️ Defensive
✔️ Protective
@7evenSpirits:
They keep asking to use other people soil for attacks. Why not go attack from Israel
@araghchi:
Touted US security umbrella has proven to be full of holes and inviting rather than deterring trouble. US is now begging others, even China, to help it make Hormuz safe.
Iran calls on brotherly neighbors to expel foreign aggressors, especially as their only concern is Israel.
@MalcolmNance Mar 13:
MARINES FOR THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ?
Now, Trump wants just 2,500 Marines, likely to seize the Islands in the Strait of Hormuz, They are 2 weeks away at the fastest.
The problem is that Middle East Force commanders gamed this out 40 years ago and estimated we’d need 6,000 Marines plus all equipment spread across multiple Islands. The plan was to first take Larak, Hormuz and Qeshem (the Shark shape- one)/Hengam to box in Bandar Abbas. Break through the denied SOH
then small landing parties to raid, Greater/Lesser Tumb, Abu Musa, Sirri, and then Kish. It would have a HUGE, detectable signature.
Why didn’t we do this in 1988 when they tried to sink our ships with mines?
BC IT WOULD BE THE USA INVADING IRAN.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranian Rev Guard and Basji would come out and bombard/suicide attack these islands from the mountains that hover over them.
Also, resupply would be from UAE/Qatar bases, which will get hit again. They may not agree to do it. Then that means a supply chain that would have to come through a hotly contested SOH!? Madness.
The MEU would have to launch Assault craft/LAVs/Hovercraft from off east of the Mussandam peninsula under view of the Iranian mountains, under fire from Shaeds, submarine drones, drone suicide boats or the mines we have not detected in the SOH. We don’t have enough tracked amphibious armor, LCU landing craft or LCAC-100 Hovercraft to bring in the right size force to the beach … and that force would be bombarded and suicide drones day and night.
If the Pentagon would deign to bring the Expeditionary Sea Base ship from Italy to the Indian Ocean, SOF at least would have a secure platform … but no movement so far.
Add in the silly proposal of having the 82nd parachute jump into islands. If the IRGC wants it would have the makings of an American Battle of Hostemel.
All of this is a STUPID concept that appears to be a hasty clean-up for lack of planning.
BECAUSE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PLACE MONTH AGO!
@MikeTrainerr:
3/3: “We won the war”
3/7: “We defeated Iran”
3/9: “We need to beat Iran”
3/9: “The war is very complete, pretty much”
3/11: “We need to beat Iran”
3/11: “We won but also we didn’t”
3/12: “We won the war”
3/13: “We won but also we didn’t”
Today: “Iran is defeated!”
Arrogant Trump ass licking Bullshit BuffoonKaroline Leavitt @PressSec:
President Trump has been remarkably consistent his entire life on Iran. Anyone who says otherwise has not been paying attention.
@_GlobeObserver:

@Wardbird55:
Trump is LOSING this war !!! You don’t censor the coverage of a war unless you are LOSING !!!

In other words, the US has suffered heavy losses…
They are being smacked around
@SMohyeddin:

@KenRoth:
Israel’s bombing of an oil depot in Tehran “may be the largest release of petrochemical toxins over a civilian population since the Iran-Iraq War.” Nine million people’s lungs should not be “an acceptable externality of war.”
@HeerJeet:
Israel: We did nothing wrong in Gaza.
Israel when threatening another country: “We are going to do what we did in Gaza.”

@lancelachlan:
This shows just how dumb Trump is. Netanyahu tried for decades to push U.S. presidents — Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden — into attacking Iran. None of them were that reckless, and they all knew Netanyahu wasn’t telling the whole truth.
Netanyahu needed a dumb president willing to do a dumb thing. Trump gave him exactly that. Now that the war has started, he can’t even finish it — and ordinary Americans are going to pay the price through higher energy costs and a worsening cost-of-living crisis.Add to that, destroying the world with nukes. Trump’s tiny brain is his epididymis, essentially brainless but with an enormous ego. Hegseth is much more brainless and bigger ego’d. They have the codes.
