Trump admitted in a 2 a.m. Truth Social post in the early hours of Saturday morning that he expected U.S. citizens to die in the war he had just started, but that put no dent in the party schedule at Trump’s private beach resort.
Those fears were later confirmed by military officials, who said Sunday that three U.S. service members were killed and five others seriously wounded in Operation Epic Fury.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Operation epic fury? Did Musk name that one?
Nah, Musk would name it Operation X or something else equally silly or encode-breaking to be edgy!

We're calling it Operation Epstein Fury or more accurately the Epstein War.
Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Well, that's what you get for being the sword of the fascists.
I mean they are kind of forced to. It's not like Congress has even tried to stay Trumps hand, so it's hard to argue it's an illegal order.
Notice, and pay mind to this and watch if it is more than just a one-off, that he's not wearing a MAGA hat anymore.
Let's see if he's done with MAGA now that he's gotten what he wants from them, and point it out if the USA hats become permanent.
Everythig with him is branding, so let's see what his next favorite is gonna be.
There’s a way to make him stop talking or breathing.
They're dumb enough to go and do it, I'm supposed to feel bad for the Sucker & Loser Corps ?
Why those fucking troops are taking part in an invasion lmao, coup the trumpet stop behaving as slaves of israel
To Shitler, they're suckers and losers, so why wouldn't they be throwing lavish parties on OUR dime?
A lot of them voted for this. Sucks for those that didn't.
Of course he would. He doesn't care.
