Worried about the troops? Not at all. I want them to go down with that fleet. All of them. It would bring a tiny fraction of the horror to America that you have been afflicting on others for decades.
Dozens of 9/11s wouldn't even come close to what you did to the rest of the world.

IT IS SO SAD that the US GOVERNMENT and FBI have secretly used their power to protect the RACISTS and DEVILS and allowed them to use, torture and kill the human beings as the lab animals for their businesses and purposes .
All the MINORITIES must be aware that those RACISTS and DEVILS have been secretly injected and implanted their special high technologies into the human beings to conduct their evil experiments in American Society.

— @TrinhNguyen-ec4vm

"• Reports of “explosions”: Kuwait says it is intercepting enemy missile and drone attacks as Iran’s IRGC claimed three missiles hit the Gulf country, targeting US bases. Sirens also went off in Bahrain. The news comes shortly after Iranian media reported “explosion-like sounds” near Iran’s Qeshm island. Meanwhile, the US military said it “disabled” an oil tanker heading for an Iranian port by striking it with a Hellfire missile."

The Young Turks is the flagship show of the TYT Network. The Young Turks is the longest running daily show in internet history. We’re about to celebrate our 20th anniversary as a digital native show. We are also the first ever YouTube partner channel. So, we are the original YouTubers.

On the network, we do things a little differently than other places. We present the news first, with all of the facts and context you need, which is a rarity in commentary-heavy online shows. We then also give analysis and perspective, which is rare in traditional news.

Genk, you got band from uk mostly because you are of a Turkish man that also critizied the Demonic Zionistic murderous country of Israel, keep an eye open on ICE.
You a snart man, I think you know all this yourself!
Keep on moving, don't stop, I'm with you!

— @user-ll3zn5je3r

Our commentary and perspective are almost always on the left, but we have an enormous range of opinions on the network. Hosts are allowed to think and say whatever they like. Perspectives usually range from the far left to the center of the political spectrum.

Now, our presence and range is large enough that we are adopting the tagline The Online News Network. Our longevity, our 27 million subscribers and 30 billion lifetime views allows us to make this claim confidently.

why dont they give iran what they want nukes from 50k feet in the air one or two should fulfill their xmas list

It's bad enough to lose a war, but to be dishonorable in defeat is even worse. Trump, Hegseth and the war mongerers in Washington are a disgrace.

“Here’s why.”

Dog. So they need a reason when they are in a war? Now… if they targeted a girls school and killed 180 little girls, then I would want to know why.

@WalterCron

The difference is that Israel and the USA army target civilians infrastructuur en universities, while Iran and Hezbollah only targeting army infrastructure or army soldiers!
This should be as clear as daylight who is Evil and who is reacting under every human law when a country is being attacked, and their land is stolen (Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, West Bank).
Enough is Enough, we need to stand up against injustices, that's our human race that is being killed with weapons to destroy bunkers and tanks, and not for civilians' infrastructure or innocent civilians getting killed by Palantir AI BC soldiers. They
are getting their conscience destroyed, destroying their lives for seeing a baby child heads blown off by a bullet and waiting for the mother to come and then shoot her in the neck or head!
What are we doing here, letting these governments get away with PURE MURDER!
Today it's ''them'' tomorrow it WILL be us!

Russia fighting Ukraine, America fighting Iran, Israel is fighting on multiple fronts. America is supplying Ukraine and Israel and Russia is supplying Iran in return. All while allied countries break away. This is looking 👀 like the start of WW3. Wouldn’t it be cool if we all woke up one day and was like “ wow I had a bad dream that I was in this place called earth 🌍 and everyone was fighting”.

Dumb Cenk, The only American President who used his leverage over Israel got shot dead in broad daylight and the killer got shot in broad daylight aand again the killer of the killer committed suicide (much like Epstein) in broad daylight. So everybody lived happily ever after. US presidents aren’t dumb. They know, as soon as we try to use our leverage on Israel we’ll be eliminated like JFK. OK You Dumb Cenk.

In my opinion if they want to stop the war I ran need to put all this focus on Israel and bomb the crap out of them then the war would stop in my opinion once Israel filled the pain and destruction and see the devastation with they are bringing they will stop

@shaboomuhammad5292
@

Were I Iran, I would not cease fire before the enemy have surrendered. The ceasefire helped the enemies resupplied and regrouped and attacked again. The Zionists have unlimited money and resources. Therefore, the ceasefire was a big mistake, because Iran would run out resources before the war actually ended.

they are sucking all the resources usa . same as they did with british empire

Here is leverage number for China can get involved spank everybody and put everybody in time out, for the rest of the world can turn against this part of the world, because everybody is sick and tired of the pedophile circus that you call leadership smfh, personally folks it's beyond left or right it's beyond everyone's comprehension because massport has 75 days now and counting to get your food together because we don't know when we're getting another shipment over here. I've been getting a lot of radio chatter lately and, not only are still June 3rd 2026 mini truckers quitting we're running out of f**** cargo ships nobody knows when they're coming, half the time. I also want to point out nothing is on schedule anymore so I'm going to take the word of the people that ship it across the country and big rigs over the news any day. I'm sorry common sense that was left the building and it's going to burn once we run out of food, water medicine it's it's not a joke folks, end of China gets involved I wouldn't mess with them, 5 billion soldiers active duty ready to go 1 billion in reserve and probably over 100 billion more that we don't know about, this country is a hemorrhoid of the world that will soon be taken care of.

@TACTICALCHARLI
@

Cenk you keep saying "why" The answer is simple. Your country is run by a jewish president backed by the scums in the congress both mof whivh is destroying the country. This unfortunately is their mission as required by Israel. Even a layman in the street will see this reality

@erhandilekoz29
@

Again, why is Lebanon part of the ceasefire? If Lebanon is not Iran? Clearly, Iran is attacking Israel nonstop, and this is outrageous. Hezbollah is not an ally of Iran; it is a terrorist organization. Let us remember that all the way back then, Hezbollah attacked Israel first.

@annai6393

It isn't. Don't clickbait

Our strikes were a response to them hitting cargo ships in the strait and U.S. we have literal air dominance we are flying Apaches and A-10’s in their airspace.

Years of teaching people "a man can be a woman" "u r what u identify with" "soft parenting" "my body my choice" has teached the world that reality really doesn't matter so it's no wonder that israel is trying to implement the same, i mean i'm pretty sure they're the ones behind the woke mind virus so they learned that people are stupid and they can ben reality to their will so what's one more try, sureee they're the victims. For me it's like they're batman: power+money+influence in people that are still angry because history did them dirty, that's a badddd combination and the phrase "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" is the perfect fit to this story
