So much for “negotiation” to find a solution acceptable for both parties:
PS: Looks to me like Trump needs a solution more badly than the Iranians.
He (and Netanyhu) started it, now he have to find a way out of the mess he made, with a little bit of “face” left. (In the eyes of the world, not has his MAGA fans)
What stopped Trump’s latest bright idea “Project Freedom” was Saudi Arabia refusing to allow the US to use its bases and air space. They are about tired of the BS on again, off again bat-shit late night rants and threats on Truth Social, just the general insanity of this entire fiasco while negotiations are ongoing.
No I don’t think he gets drunk but is probably on drugs prescribed by one of his favorite doctors. Anyone who has been around someone on cocaine, Adderal or similar recognizes the behavior.
That includes 36 mental health medical experts, one of whom is a Nobel Prize winner, all of whom endorsed their conclusions that Trump is dangerous to the world and entered those conclusions in the Congressional Record for future historians to know that some of us were aware of who destroyed 250 years of American democracy and exceptionalism.
Same experts that had same conclusion ( same as whole world) that biden was dead at the helm but no problem as somebody else was running the country so no risk?
Who was that?
Ai run autopen?
Leaving Biden there was the most global embarrassing thing the US has ever done.
Most think it was a cruel and harsh punishment for a person suffering a medical issue.
I guess the Dems thought it was normal behavior for a Dem?
Couldnt see any issues. lol says it all.
Luckily he couldnt find where he put the nuclear authentication briefcase.
Biden will be the Congressional record every one will remember as its true, lots of video to remind people for generations.
“Indian authorities said Thursday that an Indian-flagged cargo ship sank off the coast of Oman after an attack sparked a fire aboard the vessel while it was en route from Somalia to Sharjah, another UAE port. They did not say who attacked the ship.”
Reading various versions about the one that “was attacked” and sank (Haji Ali). It seems more like one of those foul-smelling “goat-boats” - motorised dhows moving livestock around. I would think it more likely that a galley gas cylinder blew up!
[once bunkered in Salalah on the same dock as several foul-smelling “goat-boats” were loading/unloading - not easily forgotten]
The tanker Bow Summer made a high-stakes run for open water. This investigative report (now in English and Open Access) details the operational reality of the escape during the chaotic first hours of the conflict — while thousands of other ships became trapped behind them.
