Iran War

[Darth Wagtaros]

Looks like Trump has drifted back into threatening to blow up all of Iran's infrastructure intermixed with boasts about how he is going to take Iran's oil.

Yeah, he's gone back to thinking this will be an easy war to win. It's like you forgot about the last month.

He's bored and wants to move on to Cuba or Greenland.  Or fixing the midterms.

He ran out of tokens and cleared his context.

Until he sundowns later today and starts babbling inanely about the White House stationery and the gold-colored bath towels.  And then watches the Levin show and then starts issuing orders again.

Three more years to go . . .

At least Biden's handlers and his family had the decency and good sense to limit his public statements and keep him on script.

"Finnegan's Wake" makes more sense than most Trump talks, it seems.

Feels a bit like it.

Pete Hegseth's broker attempted to make defense investments before Iran war: Financial Times

A broker for U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought to make a large investment in major defense companies in the lead up to the Iran war, according to the Financial Times. The Pentagon has dismissed the report.

The Financial Times reported Tuesday that Hegseth's broker at banking giant Morgan Stanley contacted BlackRock in February about making a multimillion-dollar investment in its iShares Defense Industrials Active ETF.

The ETF, which has about $3.1 billion in assets, counts companies such as RTX Corp, — formerly known as Raytheon — Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman among its largest holdings, Blackrock data showed.

The Defense Industrials Active ETF has lost 12.4% in the past one month, about the time when the Iran war started, according to LSEG data.

The FT also said that the investment discussed by Hegseth's broker did not ultimately go ahead as the fund was not yet available for Morgan Stanley clients to buy at the time. It was also not known if the broker had found another defense-related investment.

Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell dismissed the FT report in a post on X, calling it "entirely false and fabricated," and demanding the FT retract the article.

Parnell said that neither Hegseth nor any of his representatives approached BlackRock about any such investment. "This is yet another baseless, dishonest smear designed to mislead the public," he added.

The U.S. war against Iran has stretched into its fifth week, and the conflict does not seem to show any sign of abating.

U.S. Marines have arrived in the region, with the Washington Post reporting that the Pentagon was "preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran."

Trump on Monday had also said that the U.S. will "completely" obliterate Iran's electric generating plants, oil wells and Kharg Island if the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz is not "immediately" reopened and a peace deal is not reached "shortly."

Its good that he did that.  Real good.  It shows shrewdness and Godliness.

All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil! President DJT

The Country of France wouldn't let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory. France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the "Butcher of Iran," who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!! President DJT

It's "fuck you I'm out. Clean up my mess and NATO is over". Well, the only mess to clean up is negotiating with Iran what the toll will be for crossing Hormuz. After the US leaves Iran will be confused for 2 weeks, then charge everyone a small fee which will be gladly paid. If they get attacked again the will just re-close the Strait.

It's just tech bro ideology on the world stage. Move quickly and break things.  Damn the consequences.
