This is getting out of hand. He’s not even trying to think. He posted something on “Truth Social” (It’s still ridiculous) that may very well horrify the world. Except Putin. And then what the hail are we going to do? Lawd almighty, can *anyone* stop this man? Susie? Are you listening? Please, let something happen to keep him from making major errors. We don’t need any more, just like this illegal war. With gratitude to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump issued a blistering ultimatum to the Iranian regime on Saturday night, one that raised the eyebrows of multiple political analysts and observers. Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran has 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or else the U.S. will strike multiple energy plants in the country. He made the threat as global energy prices continue to climb from the regime’s effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to U.S. ships.
Bloody hail. Strike Iran’s infrastructure. It’s just going to make the people of Iran angrier and more likely to really clobber us wherever we are. There’s already been a rumor of drones coming to California. Fortunately, our Pz writer Denis corrected me on that one. I’m still hoping for Mar-A-Slobo to get hit. But this threat is not going to do one damn bit of good. Hitting energy plants in the country makes it easier for them to take potshots at *us*. And they’re now even more likely to take potshots at our allies in the region. That’s going to make *them* angry. What do you think? Are we going to be isolated in the world when our allies tell us to eff off?
“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump wrote. Over the last week, multiple power plants and energy fields in Iran have been struck by Israeli forces. The strikes became such a problem for the Trump administration that Trump demanded Israel stop striking Iran without telling the U.S. first. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that the Trump administration has been made aware of Israeli operations.
Seriously now, can’t see Bibi doing strikes without Dumba$$ Donnie knowing about them. We’re both in this illegal war, after all. We don’t want to be shooting at each other. It’s already happened once, although not by Israel, and it’s mortifying. Shot down by an ally. Oops. Sometimes technology is not helpful. Iran is shooting off things at everyone now. Dunderhead Donnie and his fat mouth are going to make the whole situation *worse*. He’s learned some lessons from Pootie.
“I’m old enough to remember when he said the U.S. doesn’t care because we don’t even use the Strait of Hormuz. It was, like, yesterday,” space archaeologist Justin Walsh posted on Bluesky. /// “We’re not even a month into this war yet, and he’s already threatening to do war crimes on main,” journalist Matt Novak posted on Bluesky. //// “Such a move would disproportionately harm civilians, something the regime has made clear it cares little about,” journalist Yashar Ali posted on X. //// “From claiming the war is ‘winding down’ to threatening a new act of terror against a country of 90 million people,” journalist Aaron Maté posted on X.
I’m waiting for something to happen over here (please take down Mar-A-Slobo), and yes, I’m quite serious. Sleeper cells can be around for decades before acting. Iran is terrorized by the regime enough. Trumpty wants to add to that. Taking down power plants is not the answer. I don’t know what it is. I’m not a scholar. There’s not enough information to make any sort of statement. But I do know that the majority of Americans do NOT want to be in this war. It’s expensive and ludicrous. How can it be stopped?
Time to make brownies. See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
