It is maddening, but in particular on things related to the nuclear program I wouldn’t be surprised if the US negotiators and administration doesn’t understand the text.
On the flip side, Trump has shown he doesn’t feel bound by any agreement he signed, so I guess it doesn’t really matter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And in today’s sad news, Finland’s most famous pine has died.
I guess it can be argued to say something about the Finnish psyche that our most famous example of a tree that can grow tall and majestic was a bent and sparse one which struggled on and thrived in harsh conditions 😎
Wait, what? This might be… interesting 🤔
There were two options for in which direction this joke could go.
The other was Trump selling Alaska back to pay for the Iran-debacle.
Found this wonderful image when searching for something else: the Swedish postal service's Driftvärn (the part of the Swedish Home Guard set up to ensure continued business as usual for authorities) practicing blowing up railway lines in the qualifications to the National Home Guard Competition.
Ah yes the famous Iranian minefield documentation skills combined with the venerated US Navy Anti mine warfare capabilities
68 Medium had a long war, serving in North Africa in 1941.
Also, so much for 'clean desert war', clearly a load of nonsense if the other side is not allowed to take a bath without being shelled by (checks notes) 4.5" guns.
As usual, @alanderminna.bsky.social has the best one-liners, but do read the whole thing (including my comments 😉).
Prediction: Calling the Iran deal weak won’t make Trump abandon it, but he will bomb some other country or group to look tough.
Iraq could be a likely candidate, and of course Cuba. IS members are advised to stay in their caves for a few weeks.
