Will Surrendering to Iran Relieve Trump’s Gas Pains?
Paul Krugman / Jun 23, 2026 at 5:37 AM
Trump Makes Panicked Move as Affordability Crisis Shatters His Polls
Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Iran oscillates wildly from day to day, sometimes from hour to hour. But Trump has run out of military options that don’t involve huge war crimes, so we seem to be heading for a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on Iran’s terms. And that includes the imposition of de facto tolls, whatever they are called.
There is no mystery about Trump’s surrender: He’s desperate to end the war because he is paying a steep political price for high gasoline prices, and the midterms are only 4 ½ months away.

Can you just take one single day off, dude?
I get why Paul does it. He gets paid really, really well.
You have zero reason to do what you do here.
Am I wrong about that?
I challenge you to attempt to articulate one single justifiable reason for your daily presence as well as the actions that you take while you are here.
Ted's so cooked that his only two personalities are laughing hyena and clapping seal, so even though I'm meaner to him than I should be at times, deep down I view him as a special needs case and I do really believe he's a good guy underneath all those carelessly scattered neurons that are always misfiring all over the place.
But you?
You doing what you do here never made much of any sense at all to me.
If you've ever gained anything from any of the time that you've ever spent on this website, I'd love to hear exactly what you believe that is.
I dunno man...
Ask yourself how long it's really been. Then give yourself some time and ask yourself again. Maybe you just keep asking yourself that question over and over again until you're finally honest with yourself about the answer you already know.
I'm sorry I didn't know you back then. I wasn't always a drunk fucking idiot, but for a good time there I was. I have no memory of you here before I lost myself, and only have memories of starting off entirely on the wrong foot with you when I first began to claw my way out of that pit I'd been drowning in for years, and I do believe that set us off on a rather tumultuous trajectory where we've somehow run both perpendicular and parallel to each other as long as that meant getting into a wreck, over what seems like every single issue that has ever been brought up in the media over the last 3,600 or so days.
I always used to think that on average everybody probably agreed with everybody else on 70% of any possible issue. At least in civilized society, anyhow, I thought for sure that the lack of overlap on issues couldn't possibly ever eclipse 50% from one American Citizen of any background and another of an entirely different and opposite background.
I thought it impossible. Could never happen.
But you and me?
How many times have we ever agreed on anything from the completely trivial to the most serious of issues?
2... 3 times? Maybe half a dozen max?
And certainly only when I agreed with something you said. This has never once happened in reciprocity.
How is that even possible, man.
It wasn't until years after I got sober that I even noticed that you had artwork you've done on display here all this time and that was even a thing that you were ever into. You're such a fucking prick most days I never wanted to give you the satisfaction of telling you how good it was. And yet, here I am doing it even after you just called me a shitty electrician a week or two ago.
So knowing what I know after all these years of sobriety under my belt... Observing your behavior and your patterns.... and seeing what you were capable of creating but never once mentioned a single time I'm aware of since I sobered up....
I'm guessing that you haven't really felt that feeling since you stopped doing art and started focusing on nothing but politics 24/7/365.
You don't have to tell me I'm right. Just the knowledge that you know that I know that you know is good enough for me.

oooooh... Now we're finally getting somewhere.
Let it all out, man.
All of that pent up hostility for that fucking party that you don't even recognize anymore. That party that is somehow much stronger than you remember in all the wrong ways while at the same time you know it's weaker in every single metric that matters when the deck is no longer stacked in their favor. When their propaganda arm broke itself clean off bending the truth every which way, it all started completely unraveling. And as mortifying as it's been to get some of the information we have to me, compartmentalizing all that shit in your own head after making it your life mission to defend the party ain't the part of any shoes I'd want to be filling everyday.
Yeah... You're a full-on fucking wackjob, and usually I'd have already archived these replies, but consider this therapy session completely off the books.
I really feel bad for you man. I can't even imagine how rough that must have been walking around with that asshole puckered up so tight you could turn coal into diamonds up there your entire life.
We both know that your party has endless amounts of problems and the fact that you've put yourself in such a position of always taking hypocritical points of views to things you've said only days or even hours before which themselves were hypocritical to other things you'd said before those, all in an effort to never say a single bad thing about anybody who has that (D) after their name over and over and over again has not been well on your own sanity over time.
But "Trump Bad!" has to get old to even the most ardent of the followers on some days after 10 years, doesn't it Second? Hasn't there been maybe just one single Saturday or Sunday over the last 120 months where you thought you might skip the news and the internet? Have you ever gotten sick once in the last 520 weeks and decided to skip the news and the internet? One time? One single day in the last 10 years for any reason at all???
There is ZERO reason that anybody in this country should ever be taking the side

I am not saying that all Democrats have few troubles, for the Democrats most mentally similar to Trumptards have as many troubles as Trumptards (the ones who pursue fame, wealth, and power are guaranteed to suffer drug/porn/food addictions, bankruptcy, divorce, mental illness, and all the other misfortunes Americans are prone to when orgasms, money and mindless "happiness" are your main goals in life).
My trouble with the Democrats is that they don't make decisions fast enough. Trumptards go the opposite extreme, making decisions too fast, based on orgasms and money, just like Trump makes every decision.

Quote:America’s Big Mistake in Iran
Originally posted by second:

Aerial bombing alone can’t win a war.
By Brynn Tannehill | June 23, 2026, 7 AM ET
Brynn Tannehill is a a former aviator in the Navy and the Army National Guard. Most recently, she was a senior analyst at the Rand Corporation from 2015 to 2025.
When the United States and Israel launched the war on Iran in February, their plan was simple: bomb Iran until either the Iranian public rose up and overthrew the government, or the existing government capitulated to American demands. It rapidly became apparent that neither was going to happen. The Iranian people didn’t revolt against their oppressors. The Iranian government hunkered down, closed the strait, and gambled that the U.S. would be unwilling to invade or strike at crucial infrastructure.
So it seems U.S. planners made an obvious, if common, mistake: They assumed that a war could be won via aerial bombing alone.
Starting right after World War I, military theorists in the United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom rallied around the idea that airpower lessened or eliminated the need for armies and navies. Their central thesis was that wars could be won almost exclusively with bombers and bombing campaigns.
In his 1921 book, Il dominio dell’aria (“The Command of the Air”), Italian General Giulio Douhet argued that whichever nation claimed air superiority first would be able to bomb their enemies’ cities to ash, forcing capitulation. Marshal Hugh Trenchard, the so-called father of the Royal Air Force who pioneered strategic-bombing theory during World War I, thought that airpower could break an enemy’s will to fight rather than merely provide tactical support for ground troops. And General Curtis LeMay, an American champion of strategic bombing, believed that overwhelming, concentrated force was the best way to win a war. He favored the use of incendiary weapons against urban centers and of immediate, devastating strikes instead of gradual escalation.
When these theories of total war through bombing were put to the test in World War II and beyond, however, they failed miserably. The German Blitz on London did not induce the British public to give in. Allied bombing of Germany did not break the Nazis’ will to fight; the German collapse at the end had much more to do with the (justified) fear of being captured by the Red Army, and the opportunity to surrender to the Americans.
In the case of Japan, the combination of the naval blockade and firebombing of cities left millions of Japanese people likely to die if the war went on into 1946. However, it was not until the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, plus the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, that Japan sought a nearly unconditional surrender.
Strategic bombing failed in Vietnam as well. In that war, the U.S. dropped approximately 7.6 million tons of bombs, compared with the roughly 2.7 million tons dropped by the U.S. military across the European and Pacific theaters in World War II. The “Christmas bombings” of 1972 were not enough to persuade North Vietnam to offer favorable terms; rather, the Paris Peace Accords of 1973 were a result of U.S. exhaustion with the war. They paved the way for North Vietnam to conquer the south in 1974–75.
The advent of “true” mass precision bombing in the 1990s led some analysts to conclude that the rules of war had changed, and that airpower alone was at last sufficient. But the supposed examples of victory through aerial bombing aren’t what they seem. The first Gulf War ended only after U.S. troops went into Kuwait in a 100-hour-long charge. In Serbia in 1999, Slobodan Miloševic’s capitulation to a united NATO’s demands was based on fears of regime survival and the credible threat of ground invasion. The air campaign in Afghanistan succeeded because the U.S. had allies on the ground willing to fight for, take, and hold territory

Try again.
You're only screwing yourself and making yourself even sicker by holding it all in.

Full List of Republicans Who Voted With Democrats to Block Trump’s Iran War
Jun 23, 2026 at 05:53 PM EDT
https://www.newsweek.com/iran-war-power-resolution-republicans-vote-li
st-trump-12111670
The Senate vote comes as the Pentagon seeks roughly $80 billion in additional funding tied largely to the Iran war, including replenishing munitions and stockpiles depleted during the conflict.
[That is $234 per person, $80 billion / 342 million Americans = $234 per American.]
The Senate on Tuesday passed a war powers resolution seeking to block further U.S. military action against Iran, in a 50-48 vote that marked the first time such a measure has cleared both chambers of Congress.
The move underscores growing bipartisan unease with President Donald Trump’s handling of a conflict launched without explicit congressional authorization. The outcome highlights the small but consequential group of Republicans willing to break with Trump, as lawmakers weigh funding, oversight and the future of U.S. involvement.
