From the reporting I have heard, Romania may want to invoke Article 4 of the NATO agreement. But has not yet gone that far ...

Pres Putin seems to be trying to probe how much he can get away with ...

@#9 ... Ballwasher the MAGAT clown sits by and watches a pedophile rape America. ...

Brings to mind ..

@#17 ... He's been doing a lot of that of late. ...

An example of understatement, as used in the English language.

@#3

The Trump admin said that the drugs on the boats they were destroying were going to the US.

Mostly the drug transport in that area was destined for Europe, not the US.

But the Trump admin seemed to have had a stiffy from viewing the videos of fishing boats being blown up.

Other countries have healthcare-for-patients.

Here in the US, we have healthcare-for-profits.

Perhaps that is why, as the article notes...

... the US system is an outstandingly poor performer, summarized as being a "persistent failure" for its high costs, poor health outcomes, and premature deaths. ...

@#14 ... I'm pretty sure Iran already knew that. So did most everyone else. ...

I do not disagree.

And I have heard that it seemed the Military Chiefs even warned Pres Trump about that (Iran's shutting of the Strait). And Pres Trump just dismissed their warnings about it because he (Pres Trump) was all puffed up about the success of the Venezuelan operation, and he (Pres Trump) thought Iran would be a similar ~in and out~ accomplishment.

So, yeah, I agree that Iran had known that, but Pres Trump seemed to have taught Iran how to use that power to destroy the worlds' economy.

And, in the end, Pres Trump seems to be losing.

... Research published in 2022 revealed the bacterium that causes typhoid fever is evolving extensive drug resistance, and is rapidly replacing strains that aren't resistant.

Currently, antibiotics are the only effective treatment for typhoid, caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi). Yet over the past three decades, the bacterium's resistance to oral antibiotics has been growing and spreading.

In their study, scientists from multiple countries sequenced the genomes of 3,489 S. Typhi strains contracted from 2014 to 2019 in Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India, and found a rise in extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Typhi. ...

@#9 ... Three big takeaways for the Iranian regime from Trump's War: ...

I'd say that there is one thing that Pres Trump has educated Iran about, as a result of his unprovoked war ...

And that thing is ...

Iran has a major leverage point: the Strait of Hormuz.

Before Pres Trump's war of choice against Iran, the Strait was wide open, with 100+ ships navigating through it each and every day with no issues. Iran was doing nothing, nada, to control or stifle the traffic through the Strait.

But Pres Trump changed that, and now we have a global energy crisis.

Now, one of Pres Trump's goals to end his war is to reopen the Strait. Emphasis of the "re" part of that.

That's not a "win," it is an admission of defeat.

And then there is the document that Pres Trump abandoned in 2018, in which Iran agreed to never have nuclear weapons and also agreed to invasive onsite inspections by international teams.

I await the "deal" Pres Trump is currently negotiating with Iran. And I do hope it will be an improvement over the past.

@#5 ... Is this like 51 former intelligence officials? ...

I dunno. Is it?

What say yer current trolling alias on it?

imo, browser JavaScript is evil.

More from the article ...

... A malicious website can create a large file in the browser's private storage. It can then repeatedly read from this file to check for small changes in the time it takes to access it. These timing changes occur because other programs and browser tabs are also using the SSD, creating competition for drive access, per Ars Technica.

By tracking these timing patterns and feeding them into a trained convolutional neural network, the attacker can determine which other websites and apps are open on the device. This works in different web browsers and can recognize common applications based on their input and output patterns. FROST does not read actual files or decrypt HTTPS traffic, but it can reveal what services run in the background. ...

@#5 ... I can't get a commercial pilots license unless I speak english. ...

Because the standard language of air traffic control is English.

@#6 ... All those deaths are on NY liberal dem policies.....libbies and their policies suck! ...

Please elaborate.

thx.

@#1

imo, cruelty to humans he dislikes seems to be the goal of Pres Trump..

imo, the Trump administration considers that inhumane treatment as a feature.

New Report Shines Spotlight on Abuses and Growth in Immigrant Detention Under Trump (2020)

... The American Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Watch, and National Immigrant Justice Center released a first-of-its-kind report today on immigration detention under the Trump administration: "Justice-Free Zones: U.S. Immigration Detention Under the Trump Administration."

The report looks at how the immigrant detention system has grown since 2017, the paltry conditions and medical care -- even before the Covid-19 outbreak -- and the due process hurdles faced by immigrants held in remote locations. ...

Perhaps if Pres Trump had not made his event a self-adulation event ...

... "I'm the Vice-President. You can't boo me," ...

Non-sequitur.

@#62 ... I'm just trying to get that liar to admit it. ...

Yeah, good luck with that.

It just seems to be a troll whose job assignment appears to be trying to change the topic of conversation away from topics that are not beneficial to MAGA.

@#11 ... Seems everyone else has their family on the role. ...

By "role," did your comment mean "payroll?"

If so, I would agree with that about the Trump admin.

As I said earlier, the grifting continues in the Trump admin.

Good to see your agreement of that.

@#2 ... Of course he's skipping it. He's an Islamic fanatic who wouldn't be caught dead in a parade with Jews. ...

It is interesting to me how the national GOP seems to be so focused upon their projection of Mayor Mamdani's apparent views, as they seem to try to associate him with Democrats nationwide.

imo, that's a losing proposition for them going into November.

Why?

Well, allow me to ask a question ...

What does the event and occurrences that happen in NYC affect, say, Texas?

As I said, a losing proposition.

@#1 ... A separate poll found that the president's support among white adults without college degrees -- a usually reliable group of voters for Trump -- is also falling. Trump had a +28 net approval rating among the group when his second term began but that slipped to -4 as of mid-May.

"That was always his base. That's like Taco Bell losing stoners," Maher joked in the opening monologue of his HBO late-night show "Real Time with Bill Maher." ...

So, now, is Pres Trump going to try to take away HBO's ability to air its shows?

... and the Trump admin grifting continues ...

@#3 ... It's legalized tyranny. ...

Hungary had a similar problem.

Look what happened there.

@#2 ... According to Al Gore's predictions, we should be deep sea fishing in Miami right now. ...

Overall, Fmr VP Gore was more correct with his comments about climate change than he was wrong.

The same cannot be said about the climate change deniers.

And, once recently when I went to Florida to visit a family member for the weekend, I had to wade through a foot of seawater in the yard to get to the house that, fortunately, was raised on its foundation, above the water level.

Sea-level rise is a real thing.

@#21

Of course, then there is the elephant in the room ...

How much in Federal taxes do billionaires actually pay?

OK, Pres trump seems to have majr issues with Iran even thinking about nuclear weapons.

But then there's this ...
