Bobby I am so grateful for you. I wish you were my neighbor because I love to live in the same neighborhood with a sane man!!

Good discussion. That snake parable that trump keeps yammering about applies here. The Gulf States broadly propped up the trump family and trump himself since his first term. Now they feel his fangs.

Thank you for your knowledge in this region, Mr. Jones. It seems our nation seems to be in trouble. Here in the USA and most definitely in this straight of Hormuz. I’m sure it’s hard for any of us too truly understand what or why the war was declared in the first place? I heard the press secretary, said the president did it on a feeling. Indeed our political situation is definitely changing.

I so appreciate Bobby Jones for his service and expertise. Please ignore the stupid comments. Our country is in dire straits. And not only Hormuz!!

Thank you Bobby Jones for educating Americans on the facts and history about the GCC. I've spent decades trying to explain it to people who chose to keep their brains on cruise control via corporate media...

I lived 1/4 mile from Jebel Ali port....This was my home before I became an American citizen. Now my adopted nation is deliberately destroying my home and neighborhood for Kushner/trump/Netanyahu land grab..

I am so sorry. I love Jebel Ali..

Thank you! I still love my old home and am worried about all my relatives and friends in Bahrain and Dubai, Sharjah etc. I truly appreciate your updates. They allow me to sift through the sensationalism of suspicious corporate and social media.

Excellent discussion. A hornet's nest has been kicked. Loved, Partrick's question. Nice to laugh even though the hornets are swarming. Thanks Bobby and Sam.

Bobby made it crystal clear that tRump and his incompetents had no idea what the plan was for attacking Iran. Why didn't they say "OK until you come back with an aim and a plan that is coherent and realistic, we're OUT.

And BTW, we want all your sons in uniform and with us when you pull the war trigger.

Bobby will the troops follow Hegseth after this???

Bobby Jones's avatar

Unfortunately, yes. One of the big misconceptions about how the military works is we will follow orders if they arelawful. How we determine what lawful is heavily relies on the judge advocate general corps, which of course has been gutted by the current administration. As bad as this is right now, nothing illegal has happened as of yet. Or at least can be proven; with the exception of the tomahawk strike on the girls school. Someone’s gonna have to answer for that.

Billionaire Cheeto: Let Them Eat Cake

Nazi Republicans of the CNPP(Christian Nationalist Ped Party) have their party affiliations these days because they aren’t what one would call “conservatives” but a very wealthy group of people who want to preserve power over the American electorate

If a billionaire sees higher gas and grocery prices he simply gives more money to his kid’s nanny or people around him who take care of his daily needs If his chef faces more expenses at the store no big deal With oodles of cash why should he or his family be concerned?

But for a president of a country who should feel some responsibility to those who voted him into office and looks out for the welfare of his people Even if he’s a billionaire, it becomes a problem if he turns on the people he should be helping and says, “get over the high costs, no big deal” Such callousness and disregard for the poorest of his people is cruel and shows no respect for the people he promised when elected “no more wars” and “lower prices on day 1” all to stay out of jail

And yet this is where the American people find themselves with the Orange Cheeto WE the People deserve an end to lies and disrespect WE deserve better than this and WE’ll let him know in November
