So, who's going to move faster, the Democrats trying to get rid of Trump for the way he started this war or the Republicans trying to get rid ofTrump for the way he ended this war?

So, want to bet the $30 to $40 billion a year from Strait of Hormuz tolls that Oman is set to receive is mostly going directly to Trump?

Iran gave him an out and a bribe. Only way I can see him thinking this is a good deal.

My local radio announcer made a point of telling us yesterday he won't do any April Fools pranks on the listeners. He's repeated that several times already this morning.

A lot of variables depending on the speed of the change from allies to enemies. Tens f thousand sof US personnel and trillions of dollars of tis equipment is based in Europe. What happens with them?

Don't know about Europe but in Japan it seemed llike simple courtesies like offering to let someone through the door first seemed to clue people in I wasn't American.

But who is going to surrender unconditionally when anyone with the power to authorize that surrender is being killed and the bodies that could appoint new leaders are bombed during their deliberations?

He also misses the point that the US is not fighting to win. The US is missing two main elements of every successful war effort they have had since early 1900

1) A coalition of several allies directly supporting the cause
2) Troops on the ground

The Americans aren't fighting to win

POSITIVE regime change requires boots on the ground. THis approach is likepushing a snowball down the side of a mountain and hoping it doesn't squash anybody you like at the bottom.

Considering one of the possible outcomes was a civil war in the country containing the world's largest nuclear arsenal? Yeah, 'largely bloodless' is a matter of degrees rather than an absolute statement.

There were definitely oppourtunities for very different outcomes of those events, but eventually a classic Russian Strongman took power and ran Russia the way he wanted.

If the rise of such a strongman can be delayed long enough for real democratic institutions to take hold, there will be a chance

The same way real change came to Russia in 1917 and the Soviet Union in 1991.

Rusians themselves must make a substantive change to who leads them and how they do it.

All we can really do is hope the change comes soon, with little to no loss of life and is a change for the better.

So what's the difference between inducing a miscarriage and performing an abortion?

He deserves to be remembered well, but he also squandered several of the oppourtunities in his first term to make a lasting positive change to the way this country works.

So, how epic is the meltdown on Truth Social tonight?

Yes, a movement of them thinking they can restore greatness to our society by going back to a time that wasn't really that great.

The end of human civilization was an expected outcome of international affairs.

Up until this week Canadian Conservatives were attacking Carny for not getting a deal done fast enough.

Now they are attacking over making a deal with China.

Europe's sluggishness is one of the reasons a deal came with China this week.

And it looks like there is a longer term plan for Chinese investment in Canadian auto-manufacturing. I'm not sure what that will look like, but I do know there was firm opposition when the Japanese came too.

Yeah, I get that.

On theother had, this deal puts a lot of good feelings into Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan at a time when (Trump inspired) sepratisim is at an all time high in Western Canada.

There's a side deal on lumber that which may make things smoother with BC around Pipeline time.

Seeing as the guys downstairs are trying to kill that industry anyway, we're going to need something to cover the welfare payments with.

The good news is that for now its a 1 year deal and the amount of vehicles is only about 3 percent of the total market assuming people buy them.

This sounds like the hook to a side quest.

Toronto van attack: Witness video of takedown of person believed to be suspect YouTube video by CBC News

Toronto Police had their own 'I don't care" momment. It occurred in 2018 in the arrest of a man who had just driven a rental van through a group of people intentionally.

He tried to provoke the officer into shooting him.

The suspect yelled "I have a gun!"

The police responded "I don't care!"

The risk is too great.

Wow, what a coincidence.
