"Trump said..."

Trump said that the war is "completed" or nearly so, and that America's military did a great job. Reminded me of Bush's "mission accomplished" approach, except that Trump makes less sense than Bush.

The Strait is still closed with only the occasional tanker getting through. And Trump's exhortation to tanker sea captains to "show some guts" and take the risk, won;t apply when insurance companies say coverage won;t apply if the captains do take the risk and get hammered.

Maybe Trump thinks that US warships can open the Strait? But Iran seems to have capabilities to confront US warships if that scenario develops.

Iran is still firing missiles and drones, albeit at a reduced rate. The reason why is of course unclear, but Iran's capability to launch still exists.

Meanwhile Hezbollah is making impressive gains versus Israel's offense forces, in Lebanon, and by attacking Israel;s signals capability at a high level of delivery.

But as usual with Washington and the US overall being fraudulent, corrupt, and an Empire of Lies -- which Trump and his family embody to perfection -- it seems that the entire US media is only allowing propaganda and misinformation to be broadcast.

There was also a rumor seemingly credible early last morning that Trump called back Israeli bombers from attacking Iran's oil infrastructure, going forward. Strange if true.

I certainly have no idea what's going on wrt this harrowing war situation. Does anyone know? Anyone?

Meanwhile it's good to see PressTV back broadcasting again, even if their content is not much better than the western media's propaganda press.

Iran does not consider holding talks with US anymore, top diplomat says

Abbas Araghchi stressed that Iran has "a very bitter experience of talking with Americans"

WASHINGTON, March 10. /TASS/. Iran doubts talking with the United States would be on its agenda anymore, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic, Abbas Araghchi, told PBS in an interview.

"Well, first of all, it's too soon for him to make any comment," Iran’s top diplomat said, referring to Mojtaba Khamenei, when asked if anyone in the Iranian leadership has had any contact with US officials since the son of Ali Khamenei was selected the new supreme leader of Iran. "We are all waiting for his speeches and comments, which will come later on. But I don't think the question of talking with Americans or negotiation with Americans once again would be on the table, because we have a very bitter experience of talking ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
