What Laura Tingle has to say

what’s the précis

Trump has ceded defeat of all of his goals and called it victory.

thanks

In line with its previous comments, Iran is signalling that for the foreseeable future, it will control what shipping goes through the strait and whether, for example, shippers have to pay a levy to use it.

well it’s their waters isn’t it

The scale and escalating violence of his language — let alone that it reveals a sitting US president threatening what organisations, including Amnesty International, argued was genocide — feels like it has broken something in the US. Legislators on both sides of politics have started speaking of invoking the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which allows for the US president to be removed from office because he is incapable of discharging the powers and duties of his office.

“started” LOL they could toss a thermonuclear over Tehran and the community would “start” asking if this was quite necessary or maybe acceptable

While the brutal Iranian regime doesn’t have to worry about political unrest, the political fallout for Trump from this unpopular war is massive, from his broken pledge to put America First to gas prices, as is the blow to his credibility as a strong man who gets what he wants.

sorry WTF this is just junk, wasn’t 2 months ago when all you journalists were giggling oh yippee protests in Iran the repressive regime is going to fall yesterday, c’m‘on be serious

Alarmingly, most of his advisers were deeply sceptical of the briefing, but none were prepared then or in subsequent days to tell the president he should not proceed.
