There are three bits of information I have been able to glean through all of the noise today.

[flashman13]

First: There are far more American wounded casualties than the DoD has admitted to. The number could be as high as 150. Of course if they are lying about wounded, they are almost certainly lying about killed as well. They are lying to us again as usual. No surprise there.

Second: Trump's flunky son-in-law negotiator Kushner approached the Iranians about some sort cease fire or deescalation. They told him no (or maybe HELL NO). Why would they agree? They are winning militarily and psychologically. This will end on their terms, not Trump's. This will become the greatest humiliation ever to befall any American President.

Three: The Iranians have announced that they are going to focus their retaliation entirely on Israel. I think for the most part Israeli air defenses have been depleted. The Israelis are doing their best to cover it up, but it looks like Iranian missiles and drones are hitting Tel Aviv and the rest of the country at will. The Israeli people aren't stupid. They do know that Bibi is responsible for this fiasco. I would guess his and his governments days in office are numbered. Unless he makes a run for it he will be in a jail cell soon.

Trump will have to do one of two things. He will have to unilaterally back down or go full scorched earth on the Iranians. If he ops for alternative two, the Iranians will go full scorched earth on the entire middle east. They could essentially shut down oil production for a very extended period of time. The implications for the world economy would be nothing less than a major disaster. We are talking about a world wide super depression. We, U.S.A., will pay an extremely heavy price for electing lunatic President.
