Exactly. And all the survivors out there are suffering twice as much as anyone else. Mostly because we saw this coming long before anyone else did; even long before everyone thought he was just silly and annoying but entertaining. We saw it. We even spoke of it to fall on deaf ears. "Trump being Trump." Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

It was always Trump first. Whatever he wants or will achieve his goals of money and power.

This war is happening because Trump withdrew from a uranium enrichment agreement with Iran, and got angry when Iran wouldn’t sign a new one. He threatened to attack if they didn’t sign, so Iran went to the UN over unwarranted threats from the US. Then Israel “took it upon themselves” to attack Iran over uranium enrichment.

This is Trump’s war.

Correct and since Israel took it upon themselves to attack, well they need to fight the war they started by themselves but Netanyahu is a mad man | he’s trying to save himself from prison and he has no problem sacrificing his own people | just like trump

It’s surprising that this isn’t discussed more. He withdrew the U.S. from the deal in 2018, and his actions then greatly allowed the current situation.

Well, it’s discussed amongst us. I have been screaming for the last week that this is all Trump‘s fault because he was the one who abandoned the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, but for some god forsaken reason, the media doesn’t seem to be talking about that point in fact …they’re too busy cowering whenever he’s in the room.

Mainstream media is dead. I literally read news published out of foreign countries to find well written unbiased journalism. My favorite subscription and one that benefits the most from the income from subscribers is The Kyiv Independent! They are covering the news around the world offering in depth investigations and thought-provoking coverage of what is happening everywhere; and are very responsive to posts from subscribers.

Amazing given under fire they have been operating on a shoestring made worse when Musk and Trump stripped them of the bulk of their financing that was provided by USAID which also supported Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. It will get worse here before it gets better as Trump is set on expunging public radio and media in our country as well.

When Musk in what was little reported pulled funding of Voice America and Radio Free Europe from Ukraine specifically at the start of his heading DOGE it effected Kyiv Independent. The people of Ukraine then collected $60K to keep them going but it likely is gone by now. The newspaper has been soliciting for subscribers. It is not a charity. It is in fact excellent journalism.

No, the media is owned by the Zionist Jews, who are a political movement/land thiefs not a religion, Trump has been funding the zionist genocide of the Palestinian people that they stole the land from! Bibi is from NJ!!

This war is happening because we have no leadership. Why is the government incompetent? Because we by a small majority and due to so many sitting it out have elected the most corrupt ever POTUS, and he in turn brought into his administration the most corrupt ever ADMINISTRATION.

You’re not wrong. Apathy and complacency elected Trump and gave Republicans full control of Congress.

Yes, agreed. But let's move on for we were once naive to the power we hold when united as well as ignorant of how much we all share and have in common after decades of being deliberately divided that lead to fearing each other orchestrated by mainstream media and funded by oligarchs.

They lost. We won for today we are united despite differences in creed, color, gender or identity. We met each other on June 14, and we fell in love, don't you think? We saw in the faces of each other blended across protest lines the true face of America. It is as if we so long abused by misinformation and manipulation were finally given a mirror and very much liked what we saw.

I'm proud. What I saw was a face that blends all of us in a convergence of cultures, languages, traditions and more. On June 14th we as well as the world saw the common thread, which is love and strong values and American ideology. We found you are me, and I am you. We really not only knocked Trump off his kilter, but we also found each other. There is no going back now. Keep up the pressure!

No longer stands tall? I disagree. The Statue of Liberty raised her torch higher on June 14th when millions of us crowded cities and towns from sea to shining sea and 20 or more nations (our allies and friends) protested from their posts in support of you. In support of Americans! We will prevail! And the torch is held higher than ever before. Bravo!

right?? The U.S. is actively aiding and abetting Israel’s genocide of Gaza. We have BEEN in bed with them for decades. We are just as complicit in Israel’s attack on Iran because we keep giving them ammunition and money to bomb everyone.

Quoting “Iran’s fate will, and should be written by Iranians, not in foreign capitals, behind closed rooms but in the own their streets, with their own voices, and through their own struggles”. US should worry about all their own issues and human right violations and disaster we are facing here and keep its nose out of other countries for a change.

I am against the regime that has destroyed my motherland but US claiming they are not involved and not helping Israel is absurd- Iranian people don’t need Israel and US to help them- only inside of the motherland- uprising will remove this regime for the betterment of its people outside forces only do what benefits them and have no regards for humanity and lives of innocent people/. Thank you for your comment. Good to see people agree.
