What raised my hackles was 🍊💩 saying yesterday, that they could very well strike, before the negotiations that Iran had already mentioned being prepared to discuss!

With the Kegsbreaths and Millers of the world backing it, 🍊💩 is probably revelling in the chance to kill more people. Maga of course, will cheer it on, boasting of its strength. 🤬

Trump is igniting the rhetoric, like a pyromaniac with gasoline and a match, to simply start a war so he can get his mental adrenaline high of being a king or warlord. What a reality show he is concocting, all while he deflects the public’s attention from ICE crap and Epstein.

It boggles the mind that he’s so interested in violent protesters in Iran and protecting them. He doesn’t seem to have that same level of concern about the violence that’s taking place in our very own country.

This has got to be about more than violent protesting taking place in Iran. So, he’s messing around in Venezuela. He now wants to start things up in Greenland and now he’s got this Iranian fetish. What in the hell! Happiness to him every day is who he’s attacking next! Utter insanity‼️

This is a lucid, evidence-based briefing that strips away spin and focuses on observable signals: rhetoric, travel advisories, economic pressure, and Iran’s internal volatility. The takeaway isn’t panic—but vigilance. Anyone with stakes in the region—or in global markets—needs to monitor both public signals and behind-the-scenes movements closely.

The “No New Wars” President.. I’m exhausted. How do we endure 3 more years of this? I’m here.. not giving up or giving in but I’m tired.

Thank you for laying out all the possibilities, Jack. It helps to at least know what we might expect.

Because Trump has no understanding of international relations and is guided by nothing beyond his “own morals” the swamp he’s leading us into is more dangerous than I’ve seen in my 77 years. His maniacal need to distract from the Epstein scandal is driving him to take us over the edge. ICE is kicking doors open in Minnesota. Venezuela continues to grow more and more out of control and the DOJ is continuing their pursuit of those Trump hates.

What could possibly go wrong?

Thank you Jack! As always, a succinct and comprehensive analysis of the possibility of an attack on Iran. There must be many reasons for t-rump's desire to play this deadly game. I think his highest priority is to continue to distract from the epstein files... That, to me, is his Achilles heel. All else is secondary. Stay Strong & #HoldFast it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Jack, the Level 4 threat conditions (except embassy) already apply in the U.S. (at least MN)!!! Unless you are lily white you do not want to be in MN right now. I'm milking my white privilege for all it's worth trying to protect targeted communities.

Excellent analysis. Let's hope Iran can agree to some changes with its' opposition. It is finally time to open its' society up with freedom from oppresive, religious rule. But let's hope they don't give the cracker Trump a reason to step in,even though he's itching to.

The biggest "tell" seems to be warning American citizens to get out of Dodge. What stops trump from skipping that part? His morality? He already labels American citizens terrorists, he simply could say the same for those caught unawares in his next target. Or is someone else holding the reins, at least a bit. Obvious, to me, that he wants dominion. And then the trading of product and favors.

He named himself president of Venezuela, but this is different. Isn't it?

How thin is too thin? No boots on the ground this time he said. But how many more places can he be at once without it rupturing or at least collapsing? Of course, he can start up the draft, but Hegseth might stroke out if he has to fill his ranks with Brown and Black folks.

When will "someone" say enough?

#HoldFast it's getting bumpy.

It takes a lot to get me to laugh out loud but you did it with Hegseth stroking out. That would be a step in the right direction but, unfortunately, he's easily replaceable.
