Iran just posted that they’re now striking US bases in the Middle East! Yup, thanks Trump, for putting us at a war ‘We the People’ never wanted!

Per CNN: Qatar’s defense ministry says it intercepted the missile attack and no deaths or injuries have been reported there.

Such an excellent conversation with retired General Hertling, I so miss this example of an expert transferring his knowledge to we the people. Thank you Katie for your amazing questions!

Very informative. Always respect what General Hertling has to say.

I’d like to offer what I think is an appropriate term for what Dear Leader did in Iran: “vanity bombing”, since it seems to be in answer to his failing policies, birthday snub and being called a taco. It was only to garner attention and to soothe his tattered ego.

Apparently the price of these was another Middle East war.

All correct - and I'd add, he did it to change the subject.

USA: First take care of "we the people". Leave the Middle East alone!

Trump will end war, they said. He's the peace president, they said so don‘t worry, the peace-president will dive in negotiations and get rid off this little problem 🤦‍♀️

He's the polar opposite of the "Peace President" he ran for election.

He has taken the USA into another war without the approval of Congress. He committed another impeachable act. This is a clear violation of the constitution and highly dangerous for Trump to have unchecked unilateral powers. He MUST be indicted.

Impeach, remove, indict, imprison!

MAGAs told me if I voted for Kamala Harris, we'd be at war within 6 months of Inauguration Day. I did and here we are... 🙄

Oh! It only took Trump 5 months 🤦‍♀️

This "Don't blame me, I voted for her" hat goes everywhere with me now 👇

Thank you General Hertling for your tremendous discussion. Sure helped me understand things from an other perspective. I appreciate your information and your service.

We as a nation had to be very cautious, but even more so now, with what’s actually going on and potentially what’s to come.

If Iran’s report that it bombed a U.S. airbase in Qatar is accurate, yes, my fellow Americans. We are at war.

Iran reportedly said that they had to respond in some way. They said that there was no plan to hurt any people and from what I've read no people have been harmed. Hope that is true.

That’s good news for the moment. Do you trust that this is the last we have heard from Iran insofar as retaliation?

I doubt it. I am no scholar when it comes to the Middle East so that is just my opinion based on my 78 years of observing people. Trump deceived Iran by saying he'd think about it for two weeks and then sent bombers in what, 2 days?

Israel decided to bomb when negotiations were set to occur in two days.

I think that the message is "keep messing with us and see what happens next"!

Iran probably feels they have been deceived twice and our turn to deceit is next. The question is how will they do it?

I just hope I am wrong.

This was a great conversation, Katie. Thanks for sharing, and thank you, General, for your time. It was quite obvious that he respects you a lot. I'll definitely run over to the Bulwark and read his piece. 💙

Trump has destroyed our honor & credibility. We are no longer the "good guys". It rips me apart that he, who dodged the draft 5 times, is responsible for our welfare.

WOW what a fantastic interview with KATIE PHANG AND MARK HERTLING So very informative. Katie I was just wondering about the diplomacy Trump claimed to be using with the Iranian folks. Sixty days , is just an intimidating tactic which is Trumps skill set. Is he not really bowing to Netanyahu. … Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi: “Last week, we were in negotiations with the US when Israel decided to blow up that diplomacy. This week, we held talks with the E3/EU when the US decided to blow up that diplomacy. What conclusion would you draw? To Britain and the EU High Rep, it is Iran which must ‘return’ to the table. But how can Iran return to something it never left, let alone blew up?” I tend to believe the Iranian Minister . Netanyahu blew us the negotiations and Trump just fell into the trap. Trump needs a war to create a diversion. He is bent on controlling the entire population. Neyanyahu has been trying for years to get the US to do what he can't accomplish. Trump immediately sidelined Tulsi Gabbard and dismissed her intel. I'm almost sure Pete Hegseth was not notified until the bombing was over. I suppose he didn't want it on Signal chat.
