    Re “single perspective”: make that at least two.

    According to a big German news podcast on Friday:

    • the USA have neither a plan nor the upper hand
    • Israel are scared shitless the USA could pull out - or even lose - before Iran is properly fucked

    The Don definitely has no clue, but he’s gloating about killing mullahs etc. Btw, it costs the USA about $1billion per day. And they’re buying oil from Russia again. Let that sink in, LOL (<-sarcasm)
