TIME THE US GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN BOMBING IRAN WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT
On February 28, 2026, the United States — on Israel's command — fell into yet another trap and launched strikes against Iran. Zero strategic benefit for a single American citizen. The only winners: Israel's security establishment and the military-industrial complex that writes the checks to Congress.
No WMDs. No imminent threat. No congressional vote. Just a familiar script: a foreign government whispers, AIPAC donates, Congress applauds, and your kids get deployed. Again.

totally unrelated, obviously
A cold-eyed strategic assessment of the April 8 ceasefire reveals the US and Israel achieved devastating tactical strikes but failed every pre-war political objective, while Iran — battered, bleeding, and burying thousands — forced the world's most powerful military to the negotiating table by weaponizing the global economy.
18 days in. No congressional vote. No exit strategy.

Iran is considering allowing only Chinese yuan-denominated vessels through the Strait of Hormuz — the chokepoint for 20% of the world's oil. If countries must hold Chinese yuan to keep their oil flowing, the petrodollar system that has underpinned American economic power for 50 years faces its greatest threat since Bretton Woods.

fertilizer price spike since the strikes began
The Strait of Hormuz closure choked global supply chains for petroleum-based fertilizers — nitrogen, phosphates, potassium — that American farms depend on. Diesel, which powers every tractor, combine, and grain truck in the country, surged past $6/gallon. U.S. farmers are now paying more to grow food that Americans can barely afford to buy.

The ship was unarmed for the exercise. They were in international waters, not in combat. USS Charlotte fired two Mark 48 torpedoes. One hit. The ship sank in under 3 minutes.

Four oil storage facilities struck in and around Tehran — Aghdasieh, Tehran refinery, Shahran depot, and Karaj. Massive fires sent toxic black smoke over a city of 9 million people.
Black raindrops appeared on windows. The Red Crescent warned residents the rain was 'highly dangerous and acidic' and could cause 'chemical burns of the skin and serious damage to the lungs.' Tehran's children breathed this.
