The United States has just released an updated list of countries that it has advised its citizens to avoid in case of military strikes...

It's clear that defensive missiles/interceptors are going to be vital in contemporary defensive strategy.

Europe needs to construct an enormous variety & volume of defensive capabilities for itself. Short & long range.

I hope they're already on top of it.

And don't forget that he's using them all now on targets that were obliterated eight months ago.

There isn't one - because he didn't go via Congress for approval.

Regardless of the action in Iran, your taxes were never going to be paying for healthcare.

The markets are taking the US Special Military Operation in Iran fairly well, all things considered.

Markets are way more chill nowadays than they used to be over these sorts of things.

Iran's reckless attacks? Iran's?!

The US never really did self-reflection, did it?

Dare we mention what the Special Military Operation in Iran will do to Trump's beloved stock market?

Is it going to be surging green later on today, do we think, orrrrrr...?

I hope the staff are getting special remuneration if they are being expected to come to work during a war-time situation.

'Special Military Operation' is the phrase she is looking for...

Looks like the US military has now just become Trump's own personal hit-squad.

Cool beans.

The Administration has gone pretty quiet, hasn't it?
Where is everyone?

No one is out making the case for the war - or even defending it!

So Trump's intended Iranian stooges are all dead and Iran's fighting continues; rockets and drones are firing at or targeting the whole region; the Strait of Hormuz is off limits; and there's no air travel across or through the area...

So the entire Middle East is at a standstill then?

Has this not panned out then? Or was he just talkin' about talkin' in general...? He likes talking. He likes bombing too.

Can't seem to make up his mind which he prefers.

I believe Putin has the plans for the Iranian tech now. Read that somewhere during the week but, annoyingly, can't find where now.

Unfortunately Iran has passed on their drone tech-knowhow to Russia as well. Or so I read yesterday anyway.

Who the hell are the 77 million who still voted for him after Jan/6 and 34 fraud convictions?!

And the however many millions who didn't bother to vote at all?!

And the 38-40% that still support him in all the polls?!
