We Told You This Would Happen - But You Didn't Care.
Description
The Iran nuclear talks have collapsed. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were already in the Middle East when Iran pulled out of the second round of negotiations, citing Donald Trump's contradictory statements, continued U.S. military action against Iranian ships, and an ongoing blockade of Iranian ports. J.D. Vance's trip to Islamabad for further talks has been postponed indefinitely.
Hawk lays out the full picture: a fake ceasefire set to expire, Pete Hegseth standing by for military escalation, and a war Hawk argues exists solely to feed Trump's ego and inflate his poll numbers at the cost of civilian lives and American service members.
Beyond the Iran crisis, Hawk takes stock of what the second Trump term has actually delivered. The economic fallout from sweeping tariffs, the dismantling of NATO alliances, ICE operations targeting immigrant communities, and a family that has enriched itself by billions through crypto grifts while Trump negotiates separately with the IRS and Treasury. All of it, Hawk says, was predicted in detail before the 2024 election.
The frustration extends beyond Trump voters to congressional Democrats, whom Hawk accuses of prioritizing AIPAC funding over the clear anti-war position of their own base, even as the midterms are held up as the answer to everything.
