I'm in South Dakota
Long drive to get here
I was bored and found a Maga radio station
Listened in and was blown away from what I was hearing
Maga is in a fantasy land trying to explain Iran
They totally blame Iran. It's 100% Iran's fault gas is up
Their argument is that Trump has absolutely nothing to do with rising gas prices
Their argument is Trump has always tried to lower gas prices
They argued that Iran was always gonna close the strait
They argue that the war has nothing to do with the strait closing
That Iran planned this regardless of the war
I kid you not.

I can almost get by if they used all real facts and spun them in favor as hard as they can. If it was a call-in show I'd probably call in and say exactly that.

Get hung up on probably.

U.S. attacked Iranian site, and Iran attacked a U.S. base in Kuwait.

Though neither side is making a statement about the status of ceasefire.

Trump is calling any defense dept intelligence analysis as fake news
There is a lot of pressure on Hegseth to produce intelligence that supports Trumps view that we are kicking ass and Iran is about to surrender
MAGA radio is living in a fantasy land as personally listened to recently
Now Trump is demanding fantasy land defence dept intelligence analysis
Looks like a forever war or at least till Trump loses power
He thinks we are winning when the reality is Iran is winning by keeping the strait closed

Apparently we have an Iran "deal" just pending Trump's signature.

The "deal" is a 60 day ceasefire extension where they will work on clearing the strait and will continue to work on coming to a permanent agreement. Oh, and Iran will make another pledge to not build nuclear weapons...

What is the name of patheticness is this?

Finally some good news. Lebanon frequently ‘denounces’ Hezbollah while allowing them to operate as a parallel military terrorist organization. The more of them Israel can eliminate the better. If you allow terrorists to build missile launchers in your neighborhood don’t expect your neighborhood to to exist much longer….

If you elect Netanyahu that is so aggressive in settling the west bank and turns a blind eye to Israelis settler atrocities
Expect the Palestinians to elect a party to counter Netanyahu violence

How has it worked out for Israel
They are now viewed by the world as a bloodthirsty nation determined to completely exterminate the Palestinian people
Yitzak Rabin was assassinated for not being bloodthirsty
The right-wing in Israel is bloodthirsty and Rabin paid the price
