Candace Owens to Trump:

Charlie Kirk died free. You will most certainly die a slave.

Candace Owens to Trump:

People will not fight behind, beside, or for someone who is fundamentally disloyal...

MAGA is no longer commanded by you. You belong to the Epstein class.

Senator Graham on Iran:

If they say no now, that tells you how crazy they are.

Senator Graham on Trump's rhetoric:

If you’re talking to stone-cold homicidal maniacs, you need to speak the language they can understand.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

When you go to war, you go to war hopefully with the support of your people. You have a defined threat. You have a clarity as to why you need to go to war.

In this case, you have a war that is essentially fulfilling the long-held dream of Netanyahu to do as much damage to Iran as he is permitted to.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

I think there's a misinterpretation here about what happens ultimately with bombing, bombing, bombing.

You can’t bomb away knowledge in the heads of scientists who now have mastered the nuclear cycle.

JD Vance has landed in Pakistan. This time, Asim Munir is wearing a suit while welcoming him; previously, he wore a military uniform when welcoming the Iranian delegation.

A Ukrainian FPV drone encounters a resting Russian soldier.

Netanyahu greeted with middle finger during live broadcast in Spain following his defamatory remarks against the country.

John Bolton:

Trump couldn’t find a way out. He was grappling to find the exit.

Those and many other social media postings he’s made show his desperation.

And I think the Iranians believe they have the upper hand, at least psychologically, at this point because of that.

John Bolton:

Given Trump’s panic, we’re very likely at the end of it.

He just wants to declare victory — and move on to something else.

It would take a major mistake by Iran to force his hand.

John Bolton:

It’s a mistake to send the vice president. You don’t let your adversary pick your negotiation team.

Trump wants a way out — and Vance will try to find it.

Professor Robert Pape on Iran War:

The United States has suffered its worst strategic defeat since the Vietnam War.

This may even become a bigger defeat than Vietnam.

Iran has emerged in just 40 days as a rising fourth center of world power.

Professor Robert Pape:

Iran has enough enriched uranium for 10 to 16 nuclear weapons.

You could expect a nuclear test in six months — maybe a year.

There is nothing the United States or the world can do about that.

Prof. John Mearsheimer:

It is widely recognized that it is the Israelis who led us into this disastrous war.

It’s the Israelis who are preventing us from getting a ceasefire.

The American public’s views on Israel are undergoing a sea change. This situation only gets worse with the passage of time.”

When a country loses a war, everybody goes back to the causes. When you win, you celebrate. When you lose, you ask: How did this happen?

When it’s a disastrous loss like this, people demand answers.

The evidence is clear — it was the Israelis who led him by the nose into this disaster.

U.S.–Israeli relations are going to be badly damaged.

Prof. John Mearsheimer:

This is all going to destroy the Trump presidency.

He may remain in office, but he’s damaged goods in a truly serious way.

He thinks he has the Midas touch… This is not like all the previous cases he got away with.

There’s no way he’s not going to take a huge political hit.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was seriously injured in the airstrike that killed his father.

He reportedly suffered severe facial injuries and possible leg loss, leaving him disfigured, but is said to be mentally sharp and still involved in decisions via remote communication.
