Yesterday was a lot. Trump launched a war with no endgame while the Strait of Hormuz went dark, his Pentagon chief turned readiness briefings into Armageddon prep sessions, and our missile stockpile is evaporating faster than he can post about it on Truth Social. Here’s what you missed.
Trump’s Copy-Paste War
On February 27th, Oman’s foreign minister announced Iran had agreed to halt uranium enrichment – peace was hours away. Twelve hours later, Trump launched Operation Epic Fury: 1,250 targets, nine cities, the Supreme Leader dead, and the Strait of Hormuz – the chokepoint for 20 percent of the world’s oil – effectively closed. The part that should keep you up at night isn’t the scale of it. It’s that there is no stated plan for what happens after the bombs stop. Trump apparently watched his Venezuela helicopter raid work on a country of 28 million and decided the same playbook applied to a nation of 88 million with a real missile arsenal and the geographic ability to strangle the global energy supply by radio broadcast. Every military advisor warned him the situations weren’t comparable.
Your Tax Dollars Are Funding Rapture Prep at the Pentagon
While Iran was firing drones at nine countries, military commanders at 30 bases were telling troops this war was ordained by Jesus and Trump was anointed to trigger Armageddon. That’s not one rogue colonel having a moment – the Military Religious Freedom Foundation logged 110 complaints from more than 40 units in under 72 hours. The trail leads straight to Pete Hegseth, who has been broadcasting mandatory Christian prayer services on the Pentagon’s internal TV network since May and recently invited a pastor who wants to repeal women’s right to vote to lead the service. The Uniform Code of Military Justice prohibits exactly this. The person responsible for enforcing that law is the one breaking it.
We’re Spending $12 Million to Kill a $50,000 Drone and Trump Thinks That’s Winning
Trump posted that America’s munitions stockpiles “have never been higher or better” and we can fight “forever.” A Washington official said out loud that we’ve “shot several years’ worth of production in the last few days.” Qatar’s Patriot missiles could run dry in four days at the current rate. Every THAAD interceptor costs $12.7 million. Every Iranian Shahed drone costs $50,000 and fits on a pickup truck. The reason we’re in this position isn’t a supply chain issue – it’s that Lockheed Martin doesn’t profit from $35,000 solutions. They profit from the expensive stuff running out so Congress has to buy more. Iran is counting on exactly that math.
Wanna go deeper? All three of yesterday’s stories run through the same administration – the decisions, the people, and the money behind them. The Donald Trump file at rachelandthecity has the full paper trail.
