Ah man.

I kind of don’t like Qatar.

But the scale of the conflict does need to end. US Congress has yet to pass a war powers resolution and the only faction in Iran willing to work with us right now is the Shah faction.

But the frackers in the US and oil sand boilers in Canada are warming up their wells already. This has to last another couple months to make it worth it!

Is there a countdown somewhere. I don’t like hurt and consequences should not be borne by quatar and UAE but damn the Schadenfreude is spiking here.

I feel really evil as a person.

I guess even the world's deadliest war machine has something to lose when run by a demented man baby and his sycophants.

The likely ultimate outcome here, unfortunately, is that Ukraine is going to be left high and dry.

Most likely, unfortunately yes.

There is one “if” however. There is a production line of Patriot missiles in Germany, and I hope the German government is refusing export permits to anywhere but Ukraine.
