Trump and Hegseth are bumbling incompetents costing us a fortune daily while depleting our weapons and strategic oil reserves and making everything you buy more expensive because of $6 diesel.

So it’s both a fake story and we have plenty of munitions, and they’ve given over 50 polygraphs to attempt to find the leaker. Makes perfect sense if you don’t think about it
The families of the 18 U.S. service members killed in Trump's illegal war might not be pleased to hear Trump co-conspirator Howard Lutnick deny their deaths.
Lutnick: "The way the president is playing Iran -- there haven't been American deaths, it's really just an economic choke-out ... " (There have been 18 American deaths!)
