This would be comical if it wasn’t pathetic. Meidas Touch is reporting a comment on air by Maria Bartiromo, which exposes Donald Trump’s lies. It is the subject matter of jokes on the left and has been for quite some time. Bartiromo said: “I don’t understand how it’s possible that Iran has the capabilities to fight this way and continue to lash out at Gulf countries and US military bases because the US has obliterated Iran’s military, and the president continues to reiterate that.”
We don’t understand it either, unless you take Occam’s Razor and realize that Trump has lied about “obliteration” of the military, just like he lied about obliteration of the Iranian missile program. Iran is far from helpless and maybe it took three more dead U.S. troops to bring this fact home.
Senator Chris Murphy also had a comment which is worth heeding. He said: “For those of us who pay attention to the hour-to-hour pace of the Iran War, things are getting very dark very quickly. 2 more Americans are dead. The scale of attacks – and threats of escalation – are increasing rapidly. Trump has frighteningly lost control of this war.”
We are on the precipice of really being in a hot war with Iran. Also take notice of the growing importance of Jordan, as reported by Meidas Touch.
… NYT: Jordan has rapidly emerged as a new focal point in the US-Iran conflict, with US officials saying Iranian forces have attacked American troops there 4 times in the past 5 days including attacks that killed two US service members, left another missing, wounded dozens more, and damaged multiple helicopters.
… US officials said the pace and effectiveness of the strikes suggest Iran not only retains substantial missile inventories, but is becoming increasingly effective at penetrating US and allied air defenses.
… Jordan’s strategic importance has grown significantly as the US shifted forces there from Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE ahead of the conflict, while some regional partners have placed greater restrictions on US military operations from their territory.
Trump is not in control of this war. Israel is not in control of this war, although they can make a better argument for that than Trump can. Speaking of Trump, while all this was going on this weekend in the Middle East he played two rounds of golf at Bedminster, attended a fundraising dinner, and partied at the World Cup Final game. Let ’em eat cake, right?
i never understood her worship of trump. back when she was a straight business reporter she knew her stuff. as such she would know that everything trump has ever said about his own businesses is a load of crap. not to mention anything he says or does about the economy. she knows better but she persists in spreading his lies.
