U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Rhetorical question perhaps, but how can Trump's approval rating still be at 38% !!!

100 Americans in a room and 38 of them stand up and say, "That's our guy! The war-mongering felon liar with connections to the largest pedophilia and sex-trafficking operation in modern history."

The corruption is staggering.

THIS is the regime #UCP and Smith - our #UCP-MAGA PREMIER calls her "heroes".

Let that sink in.

Had enough, Alberta? Time to vote our interests not from tradition or grievance.
