[GO-NAD!]

I doubt WW3, but we are VERY close civil war here in the States with crap going on in Minneapolis.

Now that I think about it living in Canada wasn't all bad.

I take back all that sh!t I said about their favorite sex position being doggy style so they could both watch the hockey game.

I like hockey.

I have heard it's the same in Southern US states, but they're watching NASCAR.

How a civil war works without particular borders....or is a city vs non-city thing that's envisioned?

WTH is going on with Iran?

How a civil war works without particular borders

Think of like good vs evil in this case ... or like a zombie film: mindless monsters attacking normal people because they have brains.

Drone jammed near French aircraft carrier was probably Russian, says Sweden

Sweden's prime minister said it was a serious but not unexpected incident - and a "Russian way of acting that we recognise from other places".

This article says the drone was "jammed". Unclear as to whether it was brought down, or not. Regardless, just another day of Russian shenanigans.

The naval base in Dubai has been struck with a lot of smoke going up. Apparently most missiles from Iran are being intercepted, but as usual not all.

This is war on a large scale, and so I fear not likely to end soon.

Trump as usual worries me. Airforces and navies DO NOT hold ground. So it is very unlikely to get the results Trump think it will. Only armies and troops hold ground. Iran is surrounded by mountains and has defended against invaders for millennia. Not sure Trump would understand this as he never reads anything crucial or important.

The invaders over millennia didn't have aircraft and guided weapons. Snipers have hit their targets over more than 2 Km and the US took out half of the Iranian navy in one day- they would have to be insane to believe they can defend against most countries but really, this shouldn't be necessary.
