The U.S. alliance system is in decline, NATO is done, and Project Ukraine will also be impacted. John J. Mearsheimer is the R.

No more votes for politicians who put Israel’s interests before their own country’s interests. Not one.

All negotiations should be streamed to the entire world , these politicians can't betrusted at all.

They’re faking a ceasefire so they can re-arm—same thing Israel has done at every turn.

We need a public trial for the murders of those school girls, Hegseth and Trump should pay the price no different than if an ordinary citizen had done such an atrocity

Trump’s “victory timeline”. Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over.” Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait" Mar 22: "Iran is Dead" Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran." Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away." Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO." Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences." Apr 4: Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences. Apr 5: "Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." Apr 8: Iran reject US 15 point deal and accept Irans 10 point deal during a 2 week ceasefire. 😂

The biggest of many farces in this whole thing is the fact the Kushner and Witkoff were the ‘negotiators’. A pair of dual loyalty Israeli assets in charge of ‘averting’ a war that they and their masters in Tel Aviv were itching to trigger. What a complete repudiation of the Republic on its 250th anniversary 🇺🇸
