even god needs to take a piss from time to time....

Donald Trump made a bold and provably wrong claim yesterday about the US air-defense missile inventory:

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Belgium has given Ukraine none of the 30 F-16 fighter jets it promised back in 2024 due to delays in F-35 deliveries, Belgian Air Force Commander Geert De Decker said, citing the need to maintain air force capabilities.

While America continues strikes on Iran, something far bigger is happening behind closed doors. Gulf allies are privately demanding Washington to stop. Europe is pushing for an immediate ceasefire. Qatar's LNG supply is disrupted. Oil markets are surging.

Bahrain is in revolution. Since February 28 — the day US and Israeli strikes ignited the region — Saudi armour is said to be rolling in to crush it. You will not see this on CNN.

Donald Trump has criticised Keir Starmer again over the UK’s refusal to aid the offensive strikes on Iran, saying the “relationship is obviously not what it was”.

From Afghanistan to Iraq and Libya, repeated military interventions have weakened rather than strengthened US power. With new strikes on Iran launched without congressional authorisation, the pattern of executive overreach and strategic miscalculation deepens.
Since I don’t suffer from memory problems or cognitive deficiencies, I am able to remember in 2024 that (the candidate) Trump promised that he would “end the Ukraine war in 24 hours” if elected, even stating he would do it before being inaugurated. I’m still waiting on that.
