The CBS (or PBS) short documentary clip I posted earlier had the reporter in Israel describing the remnants of missile leftovers that landed in Israel, showed it was liquid fuel.
French president Emmanuel Macron says he has told his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian it is “unacceptable” to target French interests, after an Iranian-designed drone killed a French soldier in Iraq’s Kurdistan region.

Macron after his call with Pezeshkian on Sunday:
A pro-Iran armed group in Iraq, Ashab Alkahf, warned the following day that it would target French interest in the region, while not directly claiming responsibility for the attack.

Macron said that only a new political and security framework that included guarantees Iran never acquired nuclear weapons could ensure “peace and security for all”. He also called for freedom of navigation to be restored in the strait of Hormuz.
This framework was in place.
Something happened with it, as far as i remember, because of you personally, just last september.
Honestly, i wonder if there is a low bar for european self-humiliation and lack of any vision.
Can't really comment much about this without it being schadenfreude...
But okay seriously now LCS "streetfighter" concept was meant to be that these ships are supposed to be disposable and if they are lost in battle so be it. Was the concept itself just wrong or was it correct but US shipbuilding cannot afford to lose ships at the current rate so it's more the current industrial base can no longer support the idea of disposable warships?
Also when you do this and moving USS Abraham Lincoln back to 1000km away from Iran it doesn't exactly inspire confidence for allies to send their ships right into the gauntlet.

My friend,
We are totally in line on Syria
We can do great things on Iran
I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland
Let us try to build great things :
1) I can set up a G7 meeting after Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon. I can invite the Ukrainians, the Danish, the Syrians and the Russians in the margins
2) Let us have a dinner together in Paris together on Thursday before you go back to the US
Emmanuel
Smart decision, Australia should know when to hedge away from these idiots, besides it’s only a matter of time before Australia follows the next super power when the current one has nothing to offer.
As per earlier indication
