Everyone should look at the haunting photos of bombed out US bases hit by Iran that were leaked by service-members. They are Trump's "American carnage."

On the pod @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social is so good on the war, US decline, and Trump/Hegseth's imploding fascism:

A CNN investigation reveals Russia likely provided crucial satellite information about U.S. bases, giving Tehran a major advantage in the war. And not a word from Senile Satan.

@washingtonpost.com

The impacts of the Iran war will intensify in the form of huge jumps in the prices of gasoline and diesel, analysts predict.

Attacks on Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline threaten to elevate what had been a shipping crisis into a broader disruption of oil.

Analysts predict gas price jump, long disruption from damaged pipeline

The forecast of economic impacts beyond November’s midterms contrast with the Trump administration’s optimistic messaging.

Trump bombed Iran again in early Sept, ending a month of not bombing and hoping things improve.

They didn't.

US "accomplishments":

-Sunk a tanker
-Killed 5 at a wedding
-Fail to get others to sanction Iran
-More US bases damaged
-Houthi advances in Yemen
-Attacks on Saudi oil industry

My latest:

Trump’s Iran Failure Deepens

More airstrikes, new sanctions, expanded regional fighting, and no end in sight
