Sort of. It is contingent on Iran opening the straits for two weeks which I think they already said they wouldn't do.

So I don't really know.

This is so absurd. Biden never sent Harris to campaign for fucking Starmer. And this is the America First guy touring the world doing politics for foreign countries while this country is going through a major crisis. Fuck them hillbillies eh Vance?

He's caught between his public big strong man persona, his interest in TACOing, the ROTW yelling at him to get something done and his innate cowardice.  I have no idea what he'll do.

Yep. If he could TACO he would have already.

Though Pakistan might be tossing him a lifeline. At for awhile.

Winchester is an interesting place if you're in that area, and the naval stuff  (Mary Rose, HMS Victory) in Portsmouth is pretty cool.
And obviously the megalithic stuff around Salisbury.

Yes Winchester is under-rated, was there last week and discovered a bookshop, that looked like it was from 30-40 years ago, lots of art, history and academic books. It's the Deanery bookshop behind the Cathedral:

It is so obvious to me that there is a clear and present danger against democracy, consisting of Putin, Trump, Orban, and a number of anti-democratic oligarchs - as well as the various ideologues and operatives like Miller, Bannon et. al.

I would be supportive of strong action against them, though it seems they have mapped out the weaknesses of our democratic institutions and are exploiting them to full effect.

Meanwhile Reuters seen the secret transcript of an Orbán-Putin call from October. In it Orban used a wrongly remembered children's story to compare himself to a mouse who helps the mighty lion and in exchange the lion helps the mouse.
