to Iran by the USA, isn't going to stand any longer than the cease fire did and for the same reason: you can't negotiate with terrorists.

Before the ink has dried on any document, a ship trying to transit the Strait will hit a mine, be hit with an anti ship rocket or drone, or even boarded and confiscated.

There will be plenty of finger pointing both ways, so I'm not afraid about thatm it's what Republicans do when they need deodorant. They have never needed it quite this badly before, we'll have to see how much of it sticks to them.

This war hs abeen pushed for decades by oil boys, the PNAC, and a bunch of empty headed theoreticians at the Pentagon who just wanted to see if their shit worked. Uh, no, and I've been shooting holes in their plans for just as long.

Now that Fatso has stepped in it, I have no idea how it will end. Most likely we'll end with it.

And Fetterman will do anything trump tells him, he's got the fear of deportation of his wife or charges for that accident all over him.

It'll just have to be solved by tbe next Democratic Era. Only thing is that trump show the world that signed docs with us rather it be treaties or trade deals are all just 4 year deals . No longer will any country have faith in our form of government providing anything long term.
