Trump's Second Term

‪Governor JB Pritzker‬
‪@govpritzker.illinois.gov‬
Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.
 
Donald says he terminating all discussions on trade with Canada and will hit them with more punitive tariffs "within the next seven day period."
He’s mad about the new partnership between Canada and the European Union, which was launched earlier this week in Brussels.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country. They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Are they upset at only killing one of their citizens?

Abusive partner punishes the girl he obsesses over for daring to spend time with anyone but him.

No people are pointing out that the operation was never likely to achieve its goals, partly for technical reasons and partly because the Iranian bomb program didn't exist, and pointing and laughing as Trump and his cronies try to claim it as the greatest military operation ever. BTW the way that is pretty damn insulting to those who took part in operations that were better planned and far more important this one, and this rhetoric comes just a couple of weeks after the D-Day commemoration. If you want to jump on the Trump bandwagon by suggesting that anyone who points out the stupidity of this mission and the insanity of the rhetoric is somehow siding with Iran, and by implication an enemy of the USA, well no one can stop you.

To be fair, the 60% enriched uranium is really only useful for bombs. And the effort to get from raw to 20% is about the same as to get from 20% to the 90% for a bomb. Source BBC radio program yesterday afternoon
 
By the time this is over, it will be the Trump Memorial heading the steps where once MLK spoke of a nation and a dream that are all now but dead. The Smithsonian? The Trump Library. The Library of Congress? A collection of Truths and AI pics of a muscular Trump. The USA is going gay, but not the LBGQT+ kind; rather, the kind best typified by a fawning sycophant with a trembling voice in awe of His Majesty, the Trump.

Home of the knee, land of the knave.

That loud clacking and clanging is the world decoupling from the dollar, the US-led postwar security framework, free trade, and the use of reason in lieu of bullets to settle disputes; all the wagons hastily unhitching from the derail. However, the poor White boy - Rich man relationship will soon get very, very ugly, to the point that wailing and lamentation will make a roaring comeback. Shuda got an edgy cation, thar, sonny, from somebuddy not yo' racist Confederate traitor pappy, omg.

The Typhoon would absolutely murder the F35 after the merge. Particularly the B version, so, technically, the Typhoon is a better dogfighter.

The very, very large problem would be getting to that point...

The electronic warfare capability on the Typhoon upgrade nullifies the F35A over the horizon capability.

In a practical sense yes. In a 'diplomatic' sense I think that by enriching, Iran hoped that they would entice the US back to negotiations. A bit like negotiating for the Sybelline prophecies. It clearly didn't end the way Iran hoped. The problem with crying wolf is that sometimes people believe there is a wolf.

And it did work multiple times for the North Koreans.
 
Speaking of North Korea

Trump on Kim Jong Un: "If there is a conflict -- I get along with him very very well -- we'll get the conflict solved with North Korea ... somebody is saying there's a potential conflict. I think we'll work it out if there is. It wouldn't involve us. We're very far away from a lot of these places that we're solving problems with."

Those Iranians telling lies to the press.

Reporter: Are you concerned that the Iranians may have some enriched uranium at Pickaxe mountain?

Pres. Trump: No. They want to meet me and we’ll do that quickly

Reporter: They said they don’t want to meet with the US

Trump: They may say that to you. Don’t you think they want to with me?

I don't think that's correct.

While the Typhoon is getting radar upgrades (among other enhancements), those upgrades are not going to overcome the advantages provided by the F-35 stealth abilities.
