For people like pedoringer, that's nothing.

They certainly can't admit it might be bad.

It's why the long knives have come out for Swalwell from the left.

For certain. The sex predator thing can't possibly have anything to do with it.

They ------ up an aircraft carrier.

No, they didn't. CVN-78 USS Photo Prop is doing just fine.

Trump downplays Iran negotiations, says deal makes no difference'

Of course he does. Vance is the only person he can't fire.

Hmmm. Both aircraft over Turkmenistan headed due west. Certainly not doing a great circle back to the US.

telling them ~I will obliterate you~ is not, imo, a way to garner the support of the citizens of a nation.

Two USAF SAM flights showing over Uzbekistan now... the other one must be Jarvanka's flight.

So, no "unconditional surrender" by Iran?

Lewzer will settle for nothing less than a formal surrender signing ceremony, held on the flight deck of CVN-78 USS Photo Prop, anchored in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Flightradar, AF2 lifted out of Islamabad then turned off the transponder. I wonder if it will go straight to Tel Aviv?

And now, the Strait of Hormuz closure. Who could have seen that coming?

Pretty much the reason no one has declared war on Iran for years.

Vance says he came "in good faith", but adds the US needs to see a "fundamental commitment" from Iran to not develop nuclear weapons - the vice-president is now leaving Pakistan.

Sound like Vance has failed. No Peace Prize for you.

50x increase in 2 years is significant.

Imagine being a Master Race White Republican, then having to beg the smelly Pakistanis for help.

Imagine the meltdown when Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wins the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

I wonder if Lewzer will give all of them Presidential Trinkets of Freedom, or just the one, true, non-DEI, American hero.

Nothing? Wow.

If they had disintegrated on re-entry, it would be the biggest story on the planet.

Not of war crimes of untethered mines.

LOL. That the best X has to offer today?

Sad.

This is about Iran.

Absolutely.

United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea recognizes the strait as open to international navigation

Well, there's a war going on now. The US started a war with Iran... that might mess up some conventions.

Iran didn't control the Straits

They did back during the "tanker wars" in the '80s.

Trump will not let Iran hold the world hostage with the strait.

He does not give one tiny little ---- about "the world". He's trying to hold the world hostage himself.

Thanks, Laura. I don't have the energy.

Giving up control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Why would they? It's their territory. And Oman's.

Lewzer is now saying the Strait will be open "soon".

I assume that by "soon", he means "in two weeks"?

My gut feeling is Iran won't back down.

Back down how? Give up their nuclear program that has been "obliterated" three or four times now?
