There are currently 4 Boeing Stratotankers flying from Qatar heading towards Madinah.

Maybe this is why he rolled back on Greenland

The Finns and Norwegians take their training seriously. They are constantly mindful of their neighbour. We did a walking tour of Helsinki a few years ago with a young guy who told us about his compulsory military service and how well prepared the Nordic countries are.

Ach. That was last week. Keep up please. It's Iran now.

:-)

Two week TACO. I reckon he always says "two weeks" because that his maximum attention span x 2. He works on the idea that if he just says "2 weeks" everyone will forget it, because that's what he does.

I have family in Finland and they are very proud of their preparedness. DS loves to tell me how their bunker is a swimming pool in every day life.

It doesn’t matter though. If they didn’t jump ship when he called their fellow US fallen soldiers “suckers and losers”, why would they GAF what he says about foreign soldiers?

And what he said about John McCain not being a war hero as he only respects people who don't get captured. The was a huge outcry about that from A lot including Republicans . But Teflon Don carried on
It really is a cult isn't it

Maybe the Greenland thing this week was a distraction to cover for the manoeuvring on Iran.

Iirc last June in the 36 hours before they bombed them, there was a big deal made of troop movements in Europe or somewhere else whilst nobody noticed the (I forget the names. The angular black jets. Not black hawks. B-2 bombers ACC to this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_strikes_on_Iranian_nuclear_sites#:~:text=The%20Fordow%20Uranium%20Enrichment%20Plant,missiles%20fired%20from%20a%20submarine. ) flew in from Missouri for 18 hours.

Maybe check the pentagon pizza monitor for any activity

Flightradar will be busy today.

Trilateral meetings between the US, Russia and Ukraine are ongoing today in Abu Dhabi. Can’t see him starting a conflict almost next door whilst that’s ongoing.

Trump should really be focused on the 8 trillion of debt to be refinanced this year.
It’s scary that the interest alone on US debt is heading to 1 trillion dollars per year.

Forgot to update. I tracked it until it got to Yanbu I kid you not and into the Red Sea, headed NW then it dropped off FR.

Many, many years ago, a friend who was with the World Bank at the time, told me that the US was actually bankrupt if you looked at the level of debt it was in.

Some are not happy with Trump

Child is now back home but ffs. This needs to be stopped.

Totally take your point but actually I think if he could, he would.
A) He's the disruptor-in-chief.
B) He's stupid and doesn't know where anything is anyway.
C) His attention span is zilch.
D) He doesn't give a shit.

However others may - or may not - constrain him on this one. Who the fuck knows?

Not so many unhappy in the comments of that article.

And here we go. The pivot is almost there.

He has a visit to China later this year. No doubt he will enjoy the biggliest military parade ever.

China no longer America's top defence priority, Pentagon says | World News | Sky News

Yes, she's excellent. I have a lot of respect for her and the fact she's willing to speak out.

I assume others have seen that Jack Smith and Tim Heaphy have started a new law firm in DC? It's going to be very interesting to see what kind of cases they take on.

Have a nice Saturday everyone. Try to touch some grass, as they say, and spend some time with friends and/or family or doing something enjoyable or fulfilling. I'm prescribing mental health breaks for all.

Omg, I just love that 😂

I read that Trump will be the Big Cheese for as long as he wants and if he steps aside he, and only he, can choose who is his replacement.

It doesn't matter what he does, it's essentially ignored by his sycophants and then onlookers as " he's just thick, he didn't mean it".
Fuck that.

Start holding the fucker to account, and all those who thought it appropriate to put him in a place he could do so much harm.

American ex military though. He is bigging THEM up by implying that the rest of NATO didn't do anything

So makes the case to pull out of NATO.
