With the assassination of Iran’s Ayatollah a whole new chapter has opened in the art of warfare.
It looks like the tried-and-true method of armed conflict where armies face each other and kill until somebody wins or gives up, now all it takes is assassinating the leadership Israeli style. We enter a new phase of war where the leaders are killed first rather than last as in conventional warfare
Looking at what’s happening in Iran it’s like a game of Whack A Mole where whoever raises their heads first to assume leadership gets their brain whacked into extinction.
So it is with great curiosity that we watch the so-called war unfold in the Middle East.
It’s obvious that to continue the war toward hoped for victory the US and allies, meaning Israel, can only really attack from the air with missiles bombs or missiles fired from ships or planes or bases.
There’s no way they can invade from the ground and take territory as with conventional warfare or get Iran to give up unless they simply bomb the entire country to rubble as they did Gaza..
But there aren’t enough bombs and missiles and drones to accomplish that.
So, the chess game begins.
The Iranians cut off the straits of Hormuz to shipping.
The Russians and the Chinese keep supplying Iran with missiles which they will use to attack Israel and American air bases and ships.
What is surprising is that they have not acquired a hypersonic missile to take out the two aircraft carriers.
It’s been reported that the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Lincoln has been struck with four missiles but there has been no admission from our side as to whether this is true or not.
But if it is true and they manage to get the other one as well the ability of the West to win this war is going to be greatly impeded.
But one has to admit that the U.S. and Israel were brilliant in the execution of this war.
They fooled Iran into thinking that a deal was about to be made the night before. The Ayatollah let his guard down. And his head was chopped off.
Israel and the US are hitting Iran with everything they got bombing the daylights out of every port and everything they can reach but Iran is not Gaza. Iran is not Palestine. Iran is a very powerful country and most likely they’ll be able to absorb the barrage of bombs and missiles and drones and blah blah.
Again, there is no way the US or Israel can launch a land invasion with soldiers and tanks. All they could do is lob bombs. And sooner or later they will run out of these bombs.
I mean the good news is for the military industrial complex who will have to refill the orders and the stock markets because a lot of metals, explosives and stuff like that has to be produced to be able to continue the bombings.
Meanwhile, Iran could just produce more and more bombs and missiles and of course buy a whole bunch of that stuff from Russia and China that are hanging out at the sidelines watching the US military depleted itself.
The type of war now being waged ala’ Israeli style is to kill off the leadership of your enemy first then worry about the rest later. What the abduction and kidnapping of Venezuela’s president Maduro show that the US can penetrate just about any defense and take out a leader.
But Iran is different. Iran is big. I ran a strong. Iran is not afraid. The killing of their religious leader will only inflame Iranians and much of the Arab world. This is not to say that it’s wholly deserved and he deserved to die. I mean the guy just killed 20,000 or so of his own people as reported just because they were protesting.
He got what was coming to him.
What does defeat for Iran encompass? I mean we can’t just go in and nuke the cities because we’d be killing the people that we’re supposed to be liberating.
It would seem that there would need to be an uprising. Enough people to overwhelm the army and take over the government. It’s highly unlikely that they can organize such an effort. And the United States call for regime change may fall flat on his face. If that happens, the war will trudge on and there would be a lot of egg on the faces of those who started it.
Then there’s the question, will Iran be able to keep the Straits of Hormuz closed during the war?
One could say yes. That the Russians and the Chinese have been secretly shipping all kinds of munitions to Iran.
Let’s see what the next few days bring. Let’s see if it’s true one aircraft carrier has been decommissioned by Iranian missiles. Planes will not be able to land or take off. Greatly diminishing their firepower.
It may be that the US and Israel have bitten off more than they could chew. But we shall see.

And America will never ever be a credible peace negotiator ever again because of this brilliance! Don’t see how that benefits anyone anywhere? America has long been viewed as the negotiator of conflicts worldwide. Now we have no negotiation, just lies and overt attacks. When the entire region is in turmoil (and it will be) you can thank the brilliance of Donald J Trump Inc. who have already gotten 3 US service members killed 5 others wounded that we know of. There will be others that is a given fact. Donald J Trump promised No More Foreign Wars, No Foreign Entanglements and yet here we go again! MAGA you were bold face lied to! This makes it 3 wars that the GOP has lied about and started. American blood is just as much on their hands as it is on the hands of Iranian leadership.
Gaza is still a heap of rubble full of disease and starvation. Iran will be the same soon. Where do you think those people will go? Who will they turn to in order to get their basic needs fulfilled? Certainly not the US or Israel as those governments could give a rats ass about any of those people when it gets down to the brass tacks of it all.
Brilliance is doing things without both fore and afterthought of one’s actions. Trump could care less about either of those things. Right now all he cares about is diverting attention from the Trump DOJ Epstein coverup!
JB is correct America just lost what little credibility we had left as peace negotiators or anything else for that matter. Trump and MAGA ran on No More Foreign Wars and now that they’ve clearly started an illegal one they are making every excuse in the book to support the insanity of lies! While Trumps diversion war may take the focus off of him for the Epstein coverup it will not protect him from Legal Lawful Justice for his many many crimes. This is just another crime to be investigated and covered up until Democrats take back the House and Senate in the midterms.

As a DP or Dumb Phoreigner as my pops used to say- me thinks MAGA is grasping for straws! First they terrorize, kidnap and kill Americans in American Cities and now that their President has started an illegal war with Iran and most of the region, which will result in retaliation from dormant cells of terror around the globe. And now they claim that if the Democrats and Independents don’t support their little Gestapo that America will be susceptible to attacks by foreign actors. We stupid, that’s what happens when you do things the wrong and illegal way! If America gets attacked by supporters of ISIS and Iran it is the sole fault of MAGA not the Democrats. And that’s a fact Jack!

Oh the lies and hypocrisy! Americans are dying on his watch and all because of his ignorance.
Dear Iraqi civilians,
after the US and Israel pound your drought stricken cities, ports and airports into the Stone Age and leave you in the rubble like they have the Palestinians.
Cheer up, these are the Trump-Netanyahu plans to isolate and control every aspect of their lives in open air prisons they will call the New Palestine as they develop the rest of your country among Oil tycoons, Resort developers and other common criminals.
***As of early 2026, the U.S. is leading a, proposed $30 billion “New Gaza” reconstruction plan focused on rebuilding the territory with new housing, infrastructure, and, industrial zones, primarily within Israeli-controlled “green zones”. This initiative involves creating”Alternative Safe Communities” for Palestinians, rubble removal, and, establishing a, new seaport and, airport near the Egyptian border.
BBC
Key Aspects of Current U.S. Involvement:
“New Gaza” Master Plan: A multi-phase plan, presented by Jared Kushner and supported by the Trump administration, aims to rebuild Gaza into a, hub for, tourism, farming, and data centers.
Controlled Communities: The U.S. is pushing for, secured, gated communities in, eastern Gaza and, near Rafah to, house Palestinians, featuring, strict, security, vetting, biometric, data, collection, and, monitored, electronic, payments.
Infrastructure and Industry: The, plans, include, constructing, 200, education, centers, 75, medical, facilities, and, industrial, parks.
Security and Governance: A, U.S.-led, coordination, center is, overseeing, debris, removal, and, coordinating with, an international security force, to manage, security and, facilitate, the, transition.
Funding and Support: Significant, funding has, been, pledged, with, reports, mentioning, billions, in, commitments, toward, reconstruction.
BBC
These efforts are currently concentrated in, areas controlled by, Israeli, forces, and, are, designed, to, be”Hamas-free” with, the, aim, of, creating, a new, social, and, economic, environment.
The New York Times
Not one nickel has been spent on reconstruction in Gaza because there simply is no rush to do so. After all, the more Palestinians who die of disease and starvation all the better to the criminals taking over your lands, just less people to imprison and monitor. They’ll keep enough of you alive to run their resorts, give them Epstein class massages, lie for them as they caddy their golf games etc.
Look in the mirror MAGA! You and Israel have become everything our countries have fought and died fighting against! No wonder so many of my fellow veterans have and are committing suicide daily! Don’t worry I’m not going anywhere haters!
It’s all about China and their energy supply.
Trump cutoff Venezuela.
He’s cutting off China.
That’s the real enemy, because it is economics. And nobody plays it better than Trump against China.
All this fake rage about a disruptive country that has been killing Americans for decades, 47 years and spreading terror through their proxies.
So he’s fixing both problems. But China is the goal.
Why do you think there were 60 countries at the Trump peace conference. He’s playing three dimensional chess while the others play tick tac toe.
Chyyyna huh? And what about Rusher who has killed as many or more Americans than Iran. When is King Don Don going to initiate Regime Change in Rusher? He won’t because Putin is his puppet master! What about Saudi Arabia’s complicity in 9/11? We’ll just ignore all of that so long as they buy billions in US military hardware from us that they will eventually turn upon us. This is not even remotely about Chyna! It’s about the US stealing oil and Israel expanding its borders into Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Iran until it too becomes a superpower. Trump has made no secret about his hatred of Muslims, Blacks and Hispanics despite his attempts to say he’s not the racist as he is! MAGA is the party of racism and hatred and this attack, his ICE murders and illegal deportations have cemented that into history forever. Too bad there’s no longer a ready and willing NATO to help the US out of the latest quagmire started by yet another GOP idiot!
Trumps sold you a bucket of lies stop trying to pawn them off on others who don’t believe a word any of you hateful maniacs have to say. And BTW- when the next MAGA candidate lies and says no more wars, nobody will believe a word they say and you can thank your convicted orange felon for that!
What exactly has he fixed that hasn’t bitten him in the arse? He’s a hurricane in a china shop that breaks everything he touches. How many times did he bankrupt his businesses, how many felonies has he been charged with? And most importantly how many Americans has he gotten killed because of his incompetence? The answers to each question is- numerous!
You must love criminals, crime, hate, chaos and dead Americans to defend the individual responsible for it all as he lies to you and everyone else about his crimes and failures. This war on Iran is not about “cutting off China” it’s about “cutting off” Congress in their search to uncover the Epstein coverups which is why they claim this war will take months possibly years. That’s months possible years that the MAGA politicians have to say they are too busy with the war in Iran to deal with Justice for Epstein victims!
“Why do you think there were 60 countries at the Trump peace conference. He’s playing three dimensional chess while the others play tick tac toe”
First off, the so called Peace Conference was attended by nothing but criminals and despotic leaders from around the world to include our very own criminal and despotic leaders. Secondly, Trump can barely navigate a staircase or pass a cognitive test and yet somehow you think he knows even how to set a chess board up? You’re too darn funny when you want to be Mr Schroeder. Try giving us a serious analysis as to why we are at war with Iran and much of the Gulf states when he promised no more foreign wars. You were duped and now you are trying to make yourself look good for having elected a liar and criminal who even lied to MAGA.
You mention Clinton and Obama? Which wars did they start exactly? Please name them by date and name of the military operation. Good luck creating something outta nothing like you lamely attempted to do here. Fact is they did not! They also did not promise no more wars to their constituents because we were already at war when they took the helm thanks to Reagan, Bush, Bush Jr and now Trump. If your going to point fingers at war starters you should start with your own party of warmongers and fools.
He’s cutting off China with American lives and resources dying in a war nobody wanted except for him? Good luck getting any other country to sit at the table with the US for peace talks ever again. America once viewed as a bastion of democracy is now viewed as a rogue actor just like Iran and North Korea thanks to Trump. No country is going to do legitimate business with this rogue nation either. So Trump will get his wish of having an isolated America with no allies except our sworn enemies after all.
Great job you ignorant Orange Fool! Americans are dying in another Foreign War based on lies and it is 1000% (as you ignorantly love to state) YOUR FAULT-and MAGA’s for giving you the keys to a kingdom you have no business being in as a convicted felon and serial liar! Maybe you can take up painting the wounded from the lie war you created like W did when he left the office he should have never held as well! Perhaps next time a MAGA criminal runs on a “No Foreign Wars Lie” nobody will believe or vote for them. Fat chance though MAGA is funded by fat cat criminals in the military industrial complex, tech and energy sectors who all love their money making wars.
And the only lame bullshit MAGA has to say about US casualties is “Thoughts and prayers- whoopsie!” Just as they do when our children are ground into hamburger in their classrooms with weapons of war no civilian should have ever been allowed to possess in the first place! If they were even remotely sincere about anything they say we would not be at war and America would enact sensible gun laws. But again, there’s too much money lining their pockets with evil for them to listen to common sense logic! Ignorant Dumbasses every single one of you!

As Trump says Cuba ‘is going to fall,’ his administration explores criminal charges
A multiagency effort is underway to find potential cases to bring against members of the Cuban regime or Communist Party, NBC News has learned.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-says-cuba-going-fall-administration-explores-criminal-charges-so-rcna262071
Now Communism is justification to attack sovereign countries? Golly gee Mr War President when can we expect you to attack Rusher, Chyyner, Turkeee and North Koreaer? What? Your criminal administration only attacks countries who won’t bow to his royal orange bowel movement and give him stolen lands, oil, precious metals and minerals! You go on ahead and try attacking Cuba Mr Armchair General! Just a couple of dozen Cuban soldiers did quite a number on our forces during Operation Urgent Fury on the Caribbean Island of Grenada. And if you think your Pal Putin won’t help Cuba kill as many American invaders as possible you obviously don’t have a clue as to the island states history. Guessing the Cuban American Community of Florida gave you a nice personal check and told you how great you are to placate your egomania. Did you know many in the Marianna Boat Club were hard core criminals that the Castro Regime unleashed upon Florida and the US back in the early 80’s. But you like criminals don’t you?
Talk about DEPLORABLE!
MAGA voted for the out of control nutjob who promised them no more foreign entanglements. And yet here we are fighting wars all over the globe and now they’re making every excuse in the book for yet another of his daily dozen lies!

This is called Karma. When you take a crap on your allies they become unwilling to help you! Trump has crapped all over the Kurds and every other ally of the US with the exception of Israel because they have decided to go rogue and start war after war without having any end game or accountability for the hell they leave in their wakes.
Just waiting on his highness to lie to the country again about how great his economy is and how low utility and food costs are. Nothing like shooting oneself in the foot repeatedly. I just hope the brain dead of MAGA have awoken to his lies! But sadly I know they haven’t as they continue to make excuses for why he lies to them and everyone else. Certainly doesn’t bode well for his claims of complete innocence in his many criminal cases against him when he lies through his teeth daily!
7 American KIA 18 WIA and counting!
“All this fake rage about a disruptive country that has been killing Americans for decades, 47 years and spreading terror through their proxies”
I assure you the rage is not Fake my sycophantic defender of the defenseless! For 47 years Iranians and many others have attacked US Servicemen and women who had no business being in the Middle East in the first place. America has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi, Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni, Iranian and others while Iran is guilty of killing one to 2 thousand service members- neither is just or right but neither would’ve occurred if we had minded our own business rather than colonizing and robbing those countries. That’s beside the point, point is Trump LIED and Americans are dying over Trump’s lies and fragility and you defend the lies. It’s easy to run one’s mouth when you have never served and never will just like Trump and his hate filled family. You’re not to old to volunteer yourself to Haliburton or KBR (DICK Cheney’s former grift of taxpayers companies) and request immediate transfer to the region. So what do you say? Going to put your words into action and do just that? Or are you just going to armchair General the war and help the Liar and Thief get Americans killed? Please do tell!
First they whined cried and pee’d their panties over the legitimate press disclosure of the American KIA and WIA that have resulted from their illegal, un planned and un wanted war they lied and said they would never start, then they whine, cry and pee their pants over how pretty their hair and makeup make them look or fails to cover their ugliness. This is how tyrannical governments behave, worrying about themselves above all else over their own people as their country, economies and environments fail and cost lives. Trump does this frequently as his orange face paint appears to look like and orange Friday the 13th Jason mask and the lame attempts to cover his fluid engorged cankles and hand and neck disease rash/bruising with objects strategically place to inhibit photographing them or what appears to be Silly Putty like makeup covering them rather than being honest with the public about his obvious Mega MAGA obesity and failing overall physical and mental health.

Leavitt Snaps at CBS Reporter for Asking About Trump’s Serial Fabrications
https://www.thedailybeast.com/leavitt-snaps-at-cbs-reporter-for-asking-about-trumps-serial-fabrications/
A government FOR and OF the PEOPLE should not tolerate the incompetencey, hate and ignorance from a criminal administration. Time to truly impeach all of these losers, investigate every lie the told and crime they committed then imprison them where they belong in the first place- an isolation cell for life-no visitors allowed except attorneys.
She’s a disgusting “Christian” and human. If politicians in the UK talked down to the people they are serving there’d be eggs or fist a cuffs thrown back at em. Funny how these evil women in MAGA prominently wear the sacred crucifix whilst smack talking and hating just to protect their hateful rage King.
God is watching all of their shenanigans and will have a big surprise for them when they pass on and they won’t like it one bit. But as the old book says, “You reap what you sow”!
Marble Mush Mouth declares a Dummy Sonny W Bush premature “mission complete” “war is won” then says we have to finish what is won? That’s akin to calling a sports event won in the first round or inning. The entire region is under assault, the straights of Hormuz choked off and ablaze, oil fields are raining toxins all over the region. Eight American KIA 110 + WIA is not even in his straw-filled pumpkin head. He showed up at Dover AFB and did the obligatory thing with his stoopid USA hat disrespecting the entire ceremony as Steve Dummkoph disrespectfully swayed and looked about non stop behind his bigly Royal Hiney as if he was doing the pee pee dance! Further disrespected what was once one of our nation’s most solemn traditions of respecting our war dead and wounded. It’s all a game to these ass clowns running our country at the moment, a game designed to deflect from the Epstein coverup and the inevitable mid term election loss they will suffer bigly unless MAGA passes their voter ID bill that will purposely disrupt and cause chaos in what have been largely free and fair elections since Jim Crow was struck down. Then Trump slinks into office like the self proclaimed Snake he is and is making burgers out of absolutely nothing regarding election fraud. Now he’s seized ballots from 2020 from AZ and GA so his spook chief brain dead Barbie Intell Chief and his ass kissing personal AG so they can use all the expertise of the FBI and CIA to fabricate some made up nonsense to claim he actually won in 2020 when there’s no way in hell that he even came close. His own Cyber Criminals couldn’t find any major election fraud in AZ and further stated they had actually found Biden won by an even larger margin than the final vote tally reflected.
Like I’ve said from day one, Trump accuses others of what he’s done, is doing or plans to do so if he gets caught he can use his lies and propaganda to say others have done what he does so it’s all good despite being absolutely unfounded lies. He’s both rubber and glue but is too dumb to know it.

As of March 11, 2026, the US-Israel-led conflict with Iran has resulted in over 1,940 total deaths, with more than 1,348 civilians reported killed. Over 12,000 people have been wounded in Iran alone due to the nine-day bombing campaign. The strikes have heavily impacted civilian infrastructure, including schools and hospitals.
The New York Times
Key casualty details include:
Iran: Over 1,200–1,300+ people killed, with a significant number being civilians, including at least 200 women and 200 children.
Lebanon: More than 630 people killed and 1,500+ injured.
Israel: 11 people killed.
Other: 8 U.S. soldiers and 17 people in Gulf states reported killed.
Displacement: More than 800,000 people displaced in Lebanon.
Al Jazeera
Data from HRANA indicates that at least 1,200 civilians have been killed in Iran, with many more injuries, notes ProPublica. The Iranian government reports that the majority of the casualties are civilians, says Al Jazeera.
Simpleton Armchair General Draft Dodgers call this “Winning”! And yet we still have an Ayatollah in power. One with vengeance and hate in his heart and mind for those responsible for killing his family members and directly targeting wounding him. Remember The Satanic Verses? Well, just remember how long Iran was patient in getting revenge for that? Cost the author an eye and nearly his life. What about the former Shah and the Iranian hit teams who patiently waited then assassinated several of the former Shah’s family and associates from his administration as they hid in exile.
Just watch as Putin, Xi, and Un (Trump’s preferred bestest friends) cost more American and Israeli service members their lives and limbs. Watch as proxy militias all over the region commit to clandestine guerrilla warfare and acts of what we call terrorism but is no different from how we conduct ourselves in war. Just ask the Palestinians who the terrorist were who leveled their entire country and killed nearly 100, 000 civilian deaths and counting. Those we call allies- Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and others will not hesitate to forget their fragile alliance with us in order to support their fellow Arabs and Persians in a heartbeat just as they told us they would’ve had Saddam issued a holy fatwa against us.
Even if the US declares victory in Iran tomorrow, the hatred and revenge coming out of the region will afflict Israel and the US for decades to come.
As the IRA once said, “we only need be lucky once they need be lucky always!” That will most likely be the mantra of the IRGC until they successfully get revenge.
