The IRGC just needs to survive. From them that is a win. Funding for its militia armies in Gaza and Lebanon – (Hamas and Hezbollah) – depends on that. Trump has won the war about 25 times already.

Thanks, Reg!

Have a great week!

Some days I just think…”Really, I gotta share the planet with these morons and idiots??…Just keep the f**k away from me!

Correction and benevolence appreciated.

I lost sleep again, getting wind of even more horrible destruction in their cards by Thanksgiving or so.

Yay!! Thanks, Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!
