Until Trump’s Morale Improves
JUN 11, 2026
I caught this headline at the New York Times this AM:
World
Analysis of Satellite Image and Videos Suggest Precision U.S. Strikes on Iranian Water Facility
*****
America’s leaders are always boasting of precision weaponry. Yet the NYT suggests that a precision strike against an Iranian water facility was possibly unintentional, an accident, I guess. Since an intentional strike against critical infrastructure (you can’t get more critical than potable water) for civilians would constitute a war crime—and obviously America would never do that!
Even asking that question, self-styled Secretary of War Pete Hegseth bloviated, is both “disingenuous” and “impugning” the motives of America’s military professionals.
We can’t have reporters asking questions that might impugn the motives of our brave leaders.
Hegseth seems to enjoy himself the most when he’s attacking the media for their lack of faith in him.
The Iran War, yet another disastrous war for the American people (and of course even more so for Iranians), may continue until President Trump’s morale improves. And that may prove to be a very long time. Remember when Hegseth suggested that the war would last eight weeks at most? It’s already roughly double that with no end in sight.
Check out the Iran War Clock. And the war clock keeps ticking …

Not only does the destruction of civilian life support / infrastucture constitute a war crime, all unprovoked acts of military aggression constitutes war crimes, including the blockade. Given the US’s actions and threats against multiple soveriegn counties, USA could be rightly branded War Crimes R Us. As Hegseth says “We negotiate with bombs…”. A Hiltler wet dream.
