The U.S. military’s 10 a.m. ET deadline to begin a blockade of ships entering and exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz has passed, after talks this weekend failed to end the war.
The chief of Russia’s state nuclear corporation said Monday it was pulling nearly all of its remaining personnel from Iran’s Russia-built nuclear power plant.
Rosatom chief Alexei Likhachev said 108 workers were leaving the power plant in Bushehr, and only 20 will stay behind to keep watch over equipment. Likhachev said Russia has co-ordinated the evacuation with Iranian authorities.

Is it only ships coming from/to Iran or the whole traffic? It’s a massive game change if they let neutral ship carry middle Eastern oil and not just the one carrying products from/to Iran. One is a global escalation with the risk of attacking Chinese/Indian boats, the other one is unfortunately a common war tactic
I don’t think the orange baby has thought that far ahead. He just didn’t get what he wanted so he threw a tantrum, and now it is left to everyone else to figure out the details.

Godamn I think I need a flowchart or something. There’s no thread of logic holding any of this together. Of course he changed his mind and did some dumbass shit again. I have lost the plot somewhere.
Losing the plot is the point. Keep the world off balance while it gets pillaged. Trump gets his cash, christians get their country, Israel gets their land.
Divide and conquer and all that.
