The structure loss in Spokane is unfathomable.

I’d estimate up to 100 homes lost so far based on video evidence alone. Scenes look Palisades-esque. pic.twitter.com/gaFcb828GD

🌎 Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark just laid out the real thinking inside Washington.

This war is no longer about Iran. It is about whether the United States remains the global hegemon or watches its power collapse in real time. Stopping is not an option. That is the hard line now being drawn.

THE EXISTENTIAL STAKES

➡️ Clark makes it clear: if America pulls back and lets Iran keep control of the Strait of Hormuz, the hit to US global leadership is permanent.
➡️ He warns it would damage American deterrence, weaken influence in Asia, and undermine the security of Europe in one stroke.
➡️ This is the decision point. Failure here is not a temporary setback. It is the end of the post-1945 order.

THE NO-EXIT REALITY

➡️ Clark rejects any idea of simply walking away or signing a weaker deal.
➡️ “Pulling back, that’s no good,” he states without hesitation.
➡️ An MOU worse than the last one would signal American weakness to every rival watching.
➡️ China and Russia are already feeling good about the current trajectory. Clark says they should not be allowed to celebrate further.

THE STRATEGIC TRAP

➡️ There is no easy military solution, yet retreat is worse.
➡️ The near-term fight must stay focused on keeping the Strait open and isolating the theater of operations.
➡️ Any pause only gives Iran time to rebuild, rearm, and dig in deeper.
➡️ Clark insists the longer-term threat of Iranian missiles and nuclear capability cannot be ignored either.


If my recollection serves properly, LordAdam16 rightly enunciated on at least ninety percent of the points stated up there by Clark. And I very well remember a number of persons here labeling him a conspiracy theorist with an overactive imagination😅.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! A brand-new Wildberries warehouse is on fire in Russia’s Samara Region

It opened just a year ago. The 178,000-square-metre facility is one of the company’s largest and most important logistics hubs in the Volga region.

As it stands, the UAE has by some stroke of sheer thoughtlessness, positioned itself as the prospective and rightly deserving recipient of Iran's next pounding.

They will see the wonders Kuwait saw before deciding to excuse American troops and assets😂😭.

LordAdam16:
the gulf arabs are useless

uae and bahrain were pushing for further escalation
but stopped short of backing attacks on energy infrastructure

the minute it became apparent that infra were to be attacked
they started begging iran to carve exemptions for themselves

grown men acting like children
