What is going on? Are we going to war?

My daughters boyfriend is in the Air Force Guard and is being recalled and is set to be deployed (where he does not know), they said "all hands on deck" or something.

What the hell is Pete Hogsbreath doing? Anyone hear of anything similar happening? Best way to get Epstein out the news is to start World War III

It is so hard to keep up with this administration as there are so many outrageous diversions on a daily basis.

That said, it certainly does feel like there is "war" in the air these days.

Bibi really wants trump to attack Iran and regime change, but his other daddy (Putin) doesn't want him to attack Iran and regime change.

8 different countries saw US military attacks. Most since WWII.

But he's ended 8 wars! Trump is bombing half the world and the corporate media doesn't even cover it.

But son-in-law is something we'd love to see happen. She is losing her mind.

Once this shit is over I am going to explain THIS is why you should "care" about politics.

since a war with Iran will help raise the price of oil for Putin whose country is hurting economically.

I guess I'm saying that Putin will abandon his ally.

Bibi did just meet with Krasnov.

Just saying that Iran isn't Venezuela unless a deal was made for another regime change.

as a cynical call for an unholy war.

He's prone to hyperbole and moving people around to keep them on alert, because he's a paranoid, vainglorious drunk in way over his head but trying desperately to appease the bigoted, shortsighted and equally vainglorious chicken hawks he takes orders from - his pastor/God Talker and "commander in chief"
I'm more worried about his collaborations with DHS and willingness to slaughter fellow countrymen for his ideals than going to war.

Like most ideological bullies, he's terrified of going up against a reasonably strong, organized opponent that might successfully fight back and make him look weak.

Same with the rest of shithole's cabinet, administration, DOJ, DHS, etc.
