US President Donald Trump claims that the ongoing war will end immediately after the US November midterm elections and predicts that oil prices will decline, while adding that negotiations with Tehran remain possible despite Washington not actively seeking a deal. – via aljazerra.com
We’ve heard variations of this lie since his war began. But not to worry that his war of choice might end after the midterm elections, Dipshit Donny has more killings in store in the meantime.
‘You’re Going To See a Lot More’: Trump Threatens More Attacks on Iranian Tankers
“The attacks are made by us. We’ve knocked out nine of their ships. I would say that the attacks are caused by us, and you’re going to see a lot more,” the president said, adding that many of the Iranian tankers are “donezo.” – via antiwar.com
“Donezo”??? Genius!

All peace loving Americans have become so normalized to war that to not have it as a part of our everyday, the best kind for sure where we just bomb the shit out of other countries and let them suffer with death and destruction while we start to gear up for the holidays, it is comforting to know that if the Iran ‘conflict’ suddenly ends, at least there are other ‘protracted wars’ going on to keep us feeling normal.
Under Secretary of War Elbridge Colby Tells European Allies To Prepare for a ‘Protracted War’ in Ukraine
US Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby has told the US’s European allies to prepare for a “protracted” war in Ukraine and to continue providing US-made weapons to Ukrainian forces.
Colby made the remarks in a virtual address to the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, a coalition of dozens of nations the Biden administration formed in 2022 to coordinate the flow of weapons into the Ukraine proxy war. The address came after President Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner traveled to Moscow and Kyiv in an apparent effort to restart peace talks.
“As President Trump has stated, our goal is a lasting peace. We are supporting every effort in that direction. From the standpoint of the Department of War, however, we cannot predict when this tragic war will end,” Colby said.
Our ‘leaders’ are always looking out for us. What a shame they’re all not in jail.
