Haven't had time to check but seems likely.

So with that US-trump and Israel-Bibi destroy the world economy.

NOTE: I read that this is rumor only, sorry.

It surprises me not at all as I’ve assumed Bibi and Putin both have tons of Epstein blackmail material.

now and then.. but they don't have anything as pertinent as Al Jazeera.

Just now saw a discussion with a professor from Kuwait another from Tehran and a Saudi.

The young guy from Kuwait was getting at the prof from Tehran exhorting him / Iran to get with
it and join the times. Always respectful though and telling him that the gulf states don't want
to get sucked into an Israeli US war.

I think their coverage has been great compared to our other options.

Their ME coverage pivots against Israel, I'll just say that.

But, they have gone the way of subscriptions as well. I find most media in the USA other than MS Now is pretty lousy these days.

We're watching escalation now.

Where are the brakes?

Very worried.
