He isn't even trying. Paper means nothing to him. Haven't we already lost more jets and personnel than we should have? Trump and Hegseth are disasters. This needs to stop. It is past 90 days.
Remember when Trump demanded his Vice President completely mimic his actions and words in his first term? Look at this. His regime doesn't wear a uniform, they wear the same damn blue suit that Trump wears. The same shoes. The same suit. Everything is so regimented it is hideous. I don't see how they can be taken seriously. The people speaking for the USA are supposed to bring talent to the processes of governance, not a puppeteer.

Almost as soon as Iran and the United States agreed (click here) to an initial deal on a truce last month, they began accusing each other of violating it. At issue has been the document’s vague language on a critical issue: control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian officials say the deal hands Tehran control over the strait, a key choke point, through which Tehran has halted most marine traffic for months, sending shocks through the global economy. U.S. officials say the agreement opens the waterway as it had been before the war.
Some critics of the accord accuse U.S. negotiators of hasty capitulation under pressure from President Donald Trump as he sought to relieve growing stress on global energy markets. Some key Republicans, such as Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), questioned the deal’s extensive economic relief for Iran that required little in return....
This is laughable. Curacao is a country belonging to the Netherlands. THE NETHERLANDS! They are our allies. We are at war with the Netherlands now?
WTF?
I guarantee you if the Captain was asked in his own language if he knows why his engine was destroyed, he would not understand what happened except an onboard fire.
Where is the proof all these countries were formally notified of the operations of the USA Navy in the Persian Gulf. The USA was chasing pirates at one time and believe it or not the entire world is not aware Donald John Trump thinks he is on the mind of every human being on Earth.
Congress needs to rein all this in and soon. This is the most idiotic bunch of nonsense ever witnessed in the Free World. Those people are allies. Allies. If there is anyone injured or dead and the ship was not acknowledging the blockade this is murder. We are not at war with our own allies you idiots!

U.S. forces disabled an oil tanker Wednesday (click here) as it attempted to sail toward an Iranian port in the Arabian Gulf amid the resumption of the naval blockade, U.S. Central Command said in a Wednesday evening post on X. The Curacao-flagged M/T Belma ignored repeated warnings to stop as it headed toward Kharg Island, CENTCOM wrote. In an 18-second video, a U.S. aircraft is seen disabling the vessel by firing missiles into the ship’s smokestack. “U.S. forces remain vigilant and prepared to ensure full compliance,” CENTCOM said in the post to X. This is the first vessel that U.S. forces have disabled since the naval blockade resumed on Tuesday. Two other commercial vessels that complied with U.S. warnings were redirected, CENTCOM said in the same post....
