The United States is taking a break from political seriousness.

About half of registered voters - 53% - oppose U.S. military action against Iran, according to a new Quinnipiac Poll conducted over the weekend. Only 4 in 10 support it, and about 1 in 10 are uncertain. A new Ipsos poll also found more disapprove than approve of the strikes.

Sen. Lindsey Graham stated that Israel has concluded it cannot achieve a satisfactory end to the war with Hamas without invoking severe military actions similar to those taken in Tokyo and Berlin.

Kyiv was the main target, with at least 23 people injured and damage reported across several residential areas. Fires and destruction were confirmed in five of the capital's ten districts, and railway infrastructure was also hit.

Israeli media has largely cheered on military actions in Gaza, manufacturing consent for government narratives, while neglecting the impact of Israel's own attacks on Palestinian civilians.

"This projection of power now has every capital in the Middle East and beyond looking with amazement, and some jealousy, at this new axis between the U.S. and Israel."

"I hate this word ceasefire. The president hated it a few days ago too."

The level of praise on Fox News for Trump's military actions mirrored the over-the-top admiration typically seen in state propaganda, illustrating a dangerous normalization of jingoism.

EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I'M WATCHING! YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON'T DO IT!"

On Sunday, the world witnessed the birth of a new Donald Trump, a bellicose one whose actions belie the abundant promises and declarations of the Trump who had expressed rhetorical desires for peace.
