It's amazing a man can command the most powerful military machine the world has ever seen and still somehow come across as an ineffectually flailing wimp.

That's a big worry yes. That Tehran sees this as a mark of desperation.

Well they are very smart because it absolutely is a mark of desperation.

I can wave a stick in front of the Vienna Philharmonic, but that doesn't make me a conductor.

That's the greatest analogy I've read so far.

That conflict reminds me of this scene:

This is what despair looks like.  A totally defeated Iran, unable to launch any attacks, on the verge of surrender.

Canada, UK, France, Germany are willing to participate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz and if NATO is asked to help with the defense of Gulf States, it will listen.

Oh what a bunch of obedient little vassal states.

Bend over morons, you guys are about to get fucked.

I dunno, talking and listening about potential action? Engaging in dialogue? Establishing a process to begin building a framework for form a committee that will identify stakeholders for working out a timetable for European action? Sounds like Europe might be playing to their strengths.

There were protests before because Western Governments were asked to sign on to the conflict. Trump just does whatever and does not even bother to ask Congress or the American people. So what exactly are they protesting about? The Italian government already is not involved.

I don't have a problem with someone trying to wrest the mantle of Christianity in the US away from the satanic Christian Nationalists currently in control of the US government.
