I never took down my Xmas tree, I just started calling it my power plant decoration so people wouldn’t call me lazy.

Just remember to take it outside before blowing it up as part of the traditional Bridge and Power Plant Day celebrations.

Tasnim: Iran’s negotiating team in Islamabad was sent to tell the U.S. talks cover political, military, economic and legal issues only, NOT the nuclear file.

As in the last talks in Pakistan, the Iranian negotiators were not allowed to discuss nuclear issues, the main red line from the U.S.

Fully expect Iran to come up with some reason Sunday won't work, Trump to extend the ceasefire again, and the whole process keeps repeating itself until everyone just forgets about it.

The US military has significantly depleted its stockpile of key missiles during the war with Iran and created a “near-term risk” of running out of ammunition in a future conflict should one arise in the next few years, according to experts and three people familiar with recent internal Defense Department stockpile assessments.

Over the last seven weeks of war, the US military has expended at least 45% of its stockpile of Precision Strike Missiles; at least half of its inventory of THAAD missiles, which are designed to intercept ballistic missiles; and nearly 50% of its stockpile of Patriot air defense interceptor missiles, according to a new analysis conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Those numbers closely align with classified Pentagon data about US stockpiles, according to the sources familiar with the assessment.

I know nothing about oil and gas, but isn’t Bahrain, Qatar, UAE and maybe Saudi and Iraq also facing this issue? I understood all these countries are facing a storage problem if ships aren’t running the gas/oil out to market.


Saudi has a pipeline to get to another coast. I’m sure some of the surrounding countries have some other avenues as well.


I’m sure there is disruption but I doubt it’s the choke point for Iran’s neighbors as bad as it is for Iran.

Trump is being led around by his nose hairs. Extending these cease fires is nonsense and weakness. Iran is trying ti wait out Trump. He has completely bungled this from the get go.

If you’re unprepared to go a full measure, never go half in, which is what we’re doing now.

You don't throw the baby out with the bath water. He's trying to save the country for those that were once called Persians and help them get their country back.

Jeez.. If eliminating the entire upper government body, sinking a navy, and neutralizing the vast majority of hardened military assets is a half measure… Full measure must be a real bitch!
