Iran War\u2019s Targets Widen Into Civilian Infrastructure As Saudi Arabia Reports 2 Deaths \u2014 Huffington Post<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

The Iran war\u2019s targets widened dangerously into civilian infrastructure as Bahrain accused Iran of striking one of the desalination plants that are crucial for Gulf nations\u2019 drinking water.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

JUST SAYING<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"\"We\u2019re not looking to settle,\u201d Trump told reporters Saturday<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I am shocked. Absolutely stunned.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But credit where credit is due.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Saudi Arabia and Israel should send thank-you cards to Orange Hitler, his war-room echo Pete Hegseth, Bibi in Tel Aviv, Ambassador Mike Huckabee, and the political choir that keeps applauding every new explosion.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And let\u2019s not forget the 52 Republican senators and four Democrats who voted against the War Powers Resolution \u2014 essentially handing a volatile president the keys to the global weapons cabinet.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Brilliant strategy.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Especially in the age of drone warfare, where there is virtually no reliable defense against swarms of cheap unmanned aircraft that can strike bases, ships, oil fields, and cities.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just ask Russia.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
One of the most powerful militaries on earth \u2014 tanks, jets, missiles, the whole parade \u2014 and yet it is being bled daily by Ukrainian freedom fighters using drones that cost less than a pickup truck.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
That\u2019s modern warfare.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Not aircraft carriers. Not trillion-dollar defense budgets.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Small drones, big explosions, and very little defense.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
So buckle up.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Because when leaders start wars in the drone age, retaliation doesn\u2019t arrive by declaration.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It arrives silently\u2026 in the sky\u2026 and without warning.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Meanwhile the propaganda pipeline \u2014 also known as Fox \u201cNews\u201d \u2014 will continue its patriotic duty:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Explaining why every escalation is genius strategy, every bombing is necessary, and every casualty is just another step toward \u201cstrength.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Nothing to worry about.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just another calm, responsible moment in the management of a nuclear-armed world.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
