    I love it, I LOVE it. She completely flip-flopped on any decent platform or belief that she used to have— in trade for barely a year getting to pretend to be a Somebody while mingling with straight-up child rapists.

    The girl who once promised to “send every single troop home” helped start up an illegal invasion and now she gets to bail on the cheque, straight into No-Man’s-Land where all these fucking people belong.

    A geopolitical guy I follow makes a pretty good case for why he thinks she's an actual Russian asset.

    It’s trending in various social media sights, but it’s still rumours and no confirmation.

    Perhaps he’ll fire her if she fails to “Wipe out an entire civilization” as Trump just literally stated.

    Pakistan calls for two week ceasefire, throwing a lifesaver out to the idiot. Will he take it?

    Planes are already in the air and will be over Iran within two hours. Seems unlikely Trump would call them off now.

    I stand corrected:

    Although he does say it's subject to the Iranians opening the strait, which they have indicated no willingness to do, so who knows.

    Why do I feel like Iran's not opening the Strait?

    Because they aren't.

    There's a great meme about this, but I can't find it right now; I knew I should have saved it...

    Anyway, assuming that Trump wasn't just talking into a Speak 'n Spell phone, do any of y'all think that the Pakistanis told him that if he nukes Iran, the US (or one of our allies) gets it next?

    Imagine Pakistan waking up this week and realizing they weren't the crazy ones in the room with nukes.

    Supposedly they opened the Strait, on condition that passage is directed via Iranian military.

    surely Trump won’t boast about opening the strait and insult all of our allies, only for talks to stall and fail and passage to be locked down again…

    Also a $2M/ship toll, with the proceeds split between Iran and Oman.

    Given the fact that all maritime insurance contracts for tankers that use the Strait are now effectively worthless, $2M is better than losing a $1B shipment. Basically a giant juice and squeeze.

    At least until they run into the pirates that will be waiting for them just outside the Gulf.
