🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump to WSJ on Iran:
If they don’t come through… they’re going to lose every power plant and every other plant in the whole country.
If they don’t do something by Tuesday evening, they won’t have any power plants and they won’t have any bridges standing.

Pay attention to Lebanon.
Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster.
And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon—about 20% of them are kids.
Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.

It's really appalling that things are happening -- like firing career Department of Education officials because they attended a diversity conference -- that remind me of what I've read about Mao's mid-1960s Cultural Revolution in China, a humanitarian disaster we don't talk about nearly enough

Cuba is in utter collapse, experiencing a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions CAUSED by our rogue and unfathomably cruel government. The international courts need to jail everyone of these motherfuckers.
"Cuba is a threat to U.S. national security," says Rubio.
Cuba is no threat to anyone. It has no drones, missiles or atomic bombs. Another lie to manufacture unilateral consent for an invasion. The world must put these terrorists in jail. #cdnpoli

This is a very real possibility, per the experts I interviewed in this piece. We're talking about a long-term humanitarian disaster of a very large magnitude.
I think it's a bad idea to create a massive refugee crisis next door to a not-terrible-stable nuclear state.
