I’m not panicked.

Their justification for Section 338 tariffs is that 🇨🇦 is specifically discriminating vs 🇺🇸 commerce🙄.

They used dairy terms signed off by Trump in USMCA, auto tariffs retaliating vs 232s & provincial alcohol bans in response to 232s.

Keep calm & carry on.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Mark Rutte

"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

I feel sorry for people in Canada who root against 🇨🇦.

How miserable to get up every day to hope & search for where we stumble.

The vast majority of us across 🇨🇦 & the political spectrum are building, maintaining & celebrating one of the greatest places on earth.

🇨🇦 forever!

Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP and the TISZA party on their resounding victory. It is important when constructive approach prevails.

Ukraine has always sought good-neighbourly relations with everyone in Europe and we are ready to advance our cooperation with Hungary.

Europe and every European nation must get stronger, and millions of Europeans seek cooperation and stability.

We are ready for meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as peace, security, and stability in Europe.

A woman in the elevator just complimented me on my hair and then I complimented her on her shoes. My 5-year-old whispers, “Why are you saying nice things to each other?” The woman turns to her and says, “Because we’re women and it’s our job to hold each other up.”

Damn straight.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

1. We invaded not because the threat was imminent, but because it was not. Iran was weak.
2. The negotiations were a pretext.
3. There was no day after plan. This is, after all, the "let's-see-what-happens" presidency.
4. Hoping the Iranian people will rise up is not a strategy.
5. This is a giant step toward getting more embroiled in the Middle East, exactly what he promised not to do.

The Strength of Iran's Retaliation Is overwhelming the Entire Middle East

Iran has been relentlessly attacking various American bases across the Middle East and is escalating its strikes to include airports in those countries. Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are facing continuous bombardment from Iranian forces, who appear to show no fear of any potential retaliation.

Just this morning, Iran already launched hundreds of missiles against Israel and Gulf countries, yet those nations still seem hesitant to retaliate, intimidated by the sheer force and scale of Iran's attacks.

Barrages of missiles have struck Israel multiple times, completely overwhelming air defenses on this night..

The Iranian regime appears to have prepared thoroughly for the coalition's attacks, by decentralizing its command structures and with innovative tactics for missile launches.

They are fighting for their very survival, which has produced a response far more intense than the United States and Israel anticipated.

The problems posed by the intensity of Iran's attacks are twofold:

1. The coalition has so far been unable to neutralize or significantly degrade Iran's missile launch capabilities.

2. At the current rate, interceptor stocks that previously would have lasted 15–20 days may now be depleted in just 10 days.

This is a serious issue, as it could force the United States into signing a ceasefire while bearing immense political damage from the conflict.

Why does the current scenario cause so much concern?

Because this type of war, intense aerial missile attrition, is precisely where the US and Israel hold a traditional advantage.

However, if the conflict escalates to the naval domain, where the US currently has only one carrier strike group in the region, the environment could become highly unfavorable.

Today, all of Israel's submarines have sortied. It is unclear whether they headed to a protected location or are transiting the Suez Canal to engage Iran.

Also today, an Iranian frigate was damaged in port by what appears to have been a maritime missile or a drone-launched strike.

This seems to mark the opening of the naval phase of the war that we are likely to witness in the coming days
