Trump 2026

The US has fired more interceptors defending Israel than Israel has since October 2023

According to @stephensemler, the US fired an estimated 609 interceptors to defend Israel against responses to its attacks.

The US used the most expensive interceptors in its arsenal for Israel: 31% were the $31 million SM-3 and 62% were the $12 million THAAD. The US spent $11 billion shooting down missiles for Israel from October 2023 through September 2026.

Israel is an absolute strategic liability.

The US is headed back to WAR with Iran — and it'll be the BIGGEST one yet

With seven days until Israel's election and two weeks until the US midterms, I explain why I believe a third and final blowout of the Iran war is coming, and why Netanyahu and Trump may see a new war as their last card. Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar thinks the US and Israel will strike in the coming days. Mobile shelters have gone up across Tel Aviv, Iran says it will push the US Navy back beyond 500 km, Trump has endorsed Netanyahu to "finish the job" in Iran, and Pete Hegseth just made an unannounced visit to Israel.

On Iran's side: F-5s, Kowsar, F-14 and MiG-29 fighters on patrol near the Iraqi border, a reported "Code 100" readiness alert, new Dey-9 air defense systems, the 54th MQ-9 Reaper downed over Hormuz and nine straight days of ballistic missile tests. Plus the Financial Times report that Israel nearly launched a multi-day bombing campaign on October 10th until Trump stopped it, Tehran's warning that any attack will be treated as all-out war, Iraq closing the al-Shaib border crossing, and Tom Barrack telling Gulf states the US can no longer guarantee their security.

Trump and Netanyahu are gearing up to bomb Iran again.

All while the IRGC just announced that Iran now has at least 50% more missiles than it did before the June 2025 war, with improved accuracy and destructive power.

And on top of that, Iran is shifting toward a more offensive, asymmetric retaliation doctrine.

Meanwhile, the US has already burned through an estimated 50-67% of its key missile-defense interceptors since June 2025, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Replenishing them could take at least ~5 years.

So we're potentially heading into another round of fighting against an Iran that claims to have more and better missiles, while the US has already depleted much of the interceptor inventory it needs to shoot them down.

Iran just told its entire military: the next war with the US and Israel is happening—and this time, political targets and infrastructure are fair game.

Translation: no more shadow boxing. No more "limited strikes." Tehran thinks round two is inevitable and they're done pretending otherwise.

And right on cue, Trump has reportedly flipped toward backing a preemptive strike in the last few hours.

So both sides are now prepping for a war they both think is coming. Trump wants to hit first. Iran says it'll hit back everywhere. And nobody's backing down.

Buckle up.

Trump just got interrupted by another heckler mid-rant about not getting the Nobel Prize (and apparently the Pulitzer too).

That’s the third one tonight alone at the South Carolina rally. Same pattern as the last few days—multiple disruptors getting dragged out while he rambles and the crowd chants USA.

Not random. This is what falling approval looks like in real time, even in friendly territory.

BREAKING: U.S. troops and diplomats are evacuating across the Middle East, contradicting the State Department’s denial earlier tonight, per NBC News

The U.S. military has reportedly been ‘quietly scaling back’ its presence at military bases throughout the region in recent days, as President Trump weighs renewed military action.

The US is fucked... The Iran war was a big mistake.

The Iran war is about to break the UST market, which will in turn break Western sovereign debt markets.

No amount of bombing can change that...

Iran has spent decades preparing for this by building its military infrastructure deep inside mountains.

But if Trump launches another bombing campaign, it will only accelerate the UST meltdown and deplete US ammunition stockpiles...

And since the entire US military-industrial complex is heavily dependent on China, an ally of Iran, China's export restrictions on dual-use goods are only weakening America's ability to sustain a prolonged war.

Boots on the ground would be a suicide mission, as Iran's topography resembles a fortress, with narrow passages through mountains.

You can't simply roll into Iran with tanks... You would have to advance on foot.

The least painful solution would be to accept Iranian terms, but as the saying goes, the US will do the right thing after trying everything else.

Not only will Trump fail to accomplish any of his stated goals... After the war, Iran will emerge as the regional superpower.

And the US military will lose its position as the most powerful military in the world, ushering in multipolarity.

Reporter: "How was waiving those sanctions on Russia to secure the release of Hubbard not giving something to Russia?"

Trump: "Are you a stupid person? Who do you work for?"

Reporter: "ABC News."

Trump: "You're a stupid person."

This is embarrassing. He is crashing out on a daily basis at this point over simple. valid questions because he is completely cracking under the pressure.
