I'll check it out. Thanks. I try keep a 50-50 balance for reading fiction-nonfiction.

Many years ago, I read great book about the attack on Pearl Harbor - considered the gold standard - "At Dawn We Slept."

It was abridged from several exhaustively researched volumes, telling the tale from both sides (including accounts based on interviews with Japanese and Americans) about the planning and execution of the attack. I can HIGHLY recommended it!

I can't remember the ambassador's name, but IIRC he was misled as well.

Meanwhile, our wet, squishy fart of a president mouth-farted in bad taste with the Japanese PM sitting 3' away.

@#1 ... Trump says no more attacks will be made by Israel' on Iran's South Pars gasfield
Trump has criticised the Israeli raid on Iran's South Pars field, which prompted Tehran's attacks on energy sites across the Gulf. ...

Israel Shrugs Off Trump's Rebuke Over Attack on Iran Gas Field
www.bloomberg.com

... Israeli officials are riding out a rare public rebuke from US President Donald Trump over the handling of the Iran war, a break from previously tight military coordination between the two allies.

After an Israeli airstrike on Iran's giant South Pars gas field on Wednesday, the Islamic Republic retaliated by stepping up attacks against energy assets across Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

As oil and gas prices soared, Trump asserted -- in contradiction of earlier US disclosures -- that Israel had acted without Washington's knowledge, and that similar operations would not recur.

"NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field," Trump said on Truth Social, calling on Iran to show restraint.

"I told him, don't do that.' And he won't do that," Trump said on Thursday (Friday AEDT) at the White House, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We get along great. It's coordinated. But on occasion, he'll do something, and if I don't like it, then -- so we're not doing that." ...



"He has said he saved the auto industry, Los Angeles, TikTok, NATO, America, millions of lives in his peace deals, 837 people from being executed in Iran.

He has said he has saved little things, like Kobe Bryant from an elevator fight, and he has said he saved big things, like 35 million lives in the India-Pakistan war.

He has claimed to have saved the U.S. economy, and billions of dollars in spending. He claimed to have saved 2 million lives and 51 million jobs during the pandemic, plus he saved one billion dollars on the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

He's also saved, according to him, the political careers of numerous politicians and even the entire world from a depression.

And I really could go on and on naming the things he has claimed to have saved, but here's the point."

"New Coin Suggests Trump Is God'

But if Trump's viewing himself as a deity wasn't obvious enough, I've got some news for you. An article this morning in the Washington Post detailed how a federal arts commission will weigh whether to approve a commemorative GOLD coin featuring Donald Trump.

If approved, the 24-karat gold coin will depict Trump leaning on a desk with clenched fists, based on a photograph taken by his chief White House photographer. This is the photograph at the National Portrait Gallery.

But here's the disturbing part. Check out the proposed gold coin. The coin has an image of Trump and immediately below are the words "In God We Trust." This is not by accident. They are conflating an image of Donald J. Trump with the words "In God We Trust." They are deliberately suggesting that Trump IS God."

Colombia President Gustavo Petro said that an attack which had left "27 charred bodies" did not appear to have been carried out by Colombia's own forces or any illegal armed groups which he said do not have armed planes.

"The explanation isn't credible," he said, later adding that an unexploded bomb dropped from an aircraft was found "100 meters from the home of an impoverished peasant family."

Petro had earlier linked recent strikes to intensifying US-backed counter-narcotics operations in the region. "We are being bombed from Ecuador," he said late on Monday.

Ecuador's right wing wealthy president, Daniel Noboa (35), denied the accusations, insisting his government's security forces were operating strictly within national borders. "We are acting in our territory, not yours," he bleated.

The Dummkopf Trumpf ally, oligarch Daniel Noboa, brayed that Ecuador was "fighting narco-terrorism in all its forms" and "bombing places that serve as hideouts for those groups, of which many [groups] are Colombian".

The exchange marks the latest in a series of increasingly public clashes between the two ideologically opposed leaders.


Expect more XJKs, death squads, and bombings
