Looks more like a Sunday stroll to the chow hall than a parade.

No doubt the US Army is professional and excels at what it does, but this was poorly executed. If you’re going to put on a show, do it right - otherwise, maybe leave the theatrics to autocrats and commies

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Our biggest, bestest national celebration.

I expected this to be a terrifying fascist spectacle, but instead I actually feel a little sad, like the time my friend Charlie and I set up a lemonade stand when we were seven and nobody stopped all day.

Minnesota representative Melissa Hortman, who was shot and killed on Saturday, was seen breaking down in tears in a viral video after siding with Republicans on cutting healthcare access of undocumented immigrants. Hortman, who was the only Democrat who voted for the divisive measure against adult immigrants said in the video, "I did what leaders do... I stepped up and I got the job done for the people of Minnesota."

I guess if you don't toe the Democrat Party line, you get killed.

Trump responds to ‘America first’ critics of his Iran policy

Amid criticism from segments in his own base over supporting Israel’s attacks on Iran, the US president, who ran as an anti-war candidate, says there can be no peace with a nuclear-armed Iran.

“So for all of those wonderful people who don’t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon – that’s not peace,” Trump told The Atlantic magazine.


Trump is going all "WMD in Iraq" on Iran. Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons, not even close. All they have is some enriched plutonium. NK started nuclear bomb tests in 2006, there's where you should be looking. (If you were really concerned about bad people having nukes, like Putin)

This war on Iran, fully supported by Trump, has nothing to do with Nuclear weapons. But for sure, Iran will now be trying to develop them as clearly they need the deterrence...

Iran cancels talks, but Trump says US negotiators still ready

The US president seems to be operating on the assumption that there still can be these indirect talks. Now, obviously, Sunday has already arrived in some parts of the world, and what we know is that it doesn’t appear that there’s any sign of those talks.

Still, the Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is at the ready – ready to talk from a US standpoint.

The US president, for his part, was very active on social media on Friday, but as of Saturday, he didn’t reappear for almost 24 hours, after we saw the retaliatory attacks on Israel.

Then he posted on Truth Social that he had spoken with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president. They had talked extensively about the war, and the US president said he found the situation very alarming. We know that Putin, for his part, offered to mediate, and the US President responded by saying that Putin’s war should end, of course, referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, one that the US president promised to end on day one [of his presidency].

But, of course, that has not happened.


Iran says it will limit cooperation with IAEA over its nuclear sites

A senior Iranian official says his country will “no longer cooperate” with the UN’s nuclear watchdog, while criticising it for its silence over Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

“It makes no sense that these peaceful sites come under attack and that the agency remains silent,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said, referring to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“Iran will no longer cooperate with the agency… as it once did,” he said, adding that his government would not inform the IAEA of the “special measures” it intended to take to protect its nuclear materials and equipment.


Well done Trump, creating another North Korea.

First rip up the deal you had and now bomb your new 'deal' into exactly accomplishing what you were supposedly trying to prevent.

Israeli operation in Iran to take weeks, and it’s moving forward with implicit US approval, sources say

From CNN’s Kylie Atwood and Alayna Treene

Israel’s operation against Iran is expected to take “weeks, not days” and is moving forward with implicit US approval, according to White House and Israeli officials.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has not critiqued the weeks-long timeframe in private discussions, an Israeli official told CNN. A White House official said the administration was aware and implicitly supportive of Israel’s plans. When asked about how long the conflict could continue, the official said it depended on Iran’s response.

“The Trump administration firmly believes this can be solved by continuing negotiations with the US,” the official said, adding that the US was not going to direct Israel to do anything but defend itself.

-Actually NVM-

Yeah, did they ever learn how to march? Also, do US soldiers have parade uniforms?

Russia's parade and it's army are a joke right now, but they at least can all march in line.

Even our tiny Luxembourg with an army shy of 1000 soldiers can do this better, as we'll show next week.

I'm taking it as a good sign, Lol. I don't think it was a case of the troops being poorly trained, a lack of discipline or not knowing how to march properly, I think it was more a case of them really not wanting to be there so they put in the absolute minimum amount of effort, I'll take that as a sign that a lot of them aren't impressed by Trump.

Other nations that pull off these 'amazing' displays like North Korea or Russia live in a dictatorship where everyone lives in fear of screwing up. Others that pull it off have highly motivated troops that love their country so they put the effort in. Now maybe American troops still do, but we can't see that, because Trump turned the celebration all about him, he made it into a birthday party all for himself, I could see that pissing a lot of troops off and them thinking "why should we bother putting effort in when he has taken our celebration and made it all about him"

So we end up with this display.

American investments there could deter Russian advances – as President Donald Trump himself has argued.

The US–Ukraine Minerals Deal

Importantly, this partnership sends a strong message to Russia – the United States has skin in the game and is committed to Ukraine’s long-term success.

Fact Sheet – The White House

Meanwhile Russia: *Bombs American Companies*

We were told the mineral deal would deter Russia from targeting U.S. businesses - something supposedly beneficial for both the U.S. and Ukraine. So what happened to that assumption? It seems Russia doesn't care. No one takes tough talk seriously when it's never backed by action.

Can't be any American companies in Ukraine if Russia destroys them all.

But don't worry guys, Trump's best friend called to wish him a happy birthday, isn't he so nice? Lmfao. It's fucking embarrassing how easy it is to manipulate Trump. Russia is publicly shitting on Trump's face but is all forgiven because while Putin is doing that he occasionally turns around and says Trump is a great guy and Trump buys it all completely. Russia has publicly mocked America/Trump about a dozen times since Trump has returned to office and that is even despite Trump his best to help them.

It's like we're watching a kink fetish between world leaders, Putin is the master and Trump is the little bitch. 

Another one week delay to the two week deadline/ultimatum which ended on June 11th which was also a delay from the previous two week deadline which ended June 2nd which was also a delay from a previous two week deadline which ended May 11th which was also a delay from a previous deadline of ending the war in 24 hours. Delay to Kellog saying Trump could end the war in months and Trump then saying 6 months.
