Same to me!

😄👍

I have been up all night trying to figure out when the offensive starts. Towards the early hours, I figured it out. But I’m not revealing anything. 🤨

Then I’ll have some candy. 🍭

• “To those countries that can’t get fuel — many of which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, we had to do it ourselves — I have a suggestion. Number one, buy oil from the United States of America; we have plenty. We have so much. And Number two, build up some delayed courage… Go to the Strait and just take it. Protect it. Use it for yourselves. Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done.” (Watch)
• “I have made clear from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury that we will continue until our objectives are fully achieved. Thanks to the progress we’ve made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America’s military objectives shortly — very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We are going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing… We have all the cards; they have none.” (Watch)
• “For years, everyone has said that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons—but in the end, those are just words if you’re not willing to take action when the time comes.”

• @POTUS on the steps he’s taken against Iran, such as the killing of Qasem Soleimani and his termination of Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal [JCPOA 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🤝 🇮🇷]:

  “Essentially, I did what no other president was willing to do—they made mistakes, and I am correcting them.”

Russian authorities say a cattle epidemic that swept parts of Siberia since February is now under control and caused by a relatively minor bacterial infection, pasteurellosis.

But veterinarians and independent journalists question that account, pointing to containment measures — mass animal slaughter, village lockdowns, and secrecy — that more closely resemble a response to foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), a far more serious and economically damaging outbreak.

The discrepancy has fueled resistance among farmers, confusion in affected regions, and renewed scrutiny of how Russian officials handle crises — often prioritizing control of information as much as the problem itself.

Overarching secrecy

The first cases of the current officially reported pasteurellosis outbreak can be traced back to mid-February. At the time, farmers in Novosibirsk Oblast began reporting fevers and other symptoms among cattle.

The somewhat peculiar idea that is often put forward, S+M doesn’t sound so silly after all.

I think Jimmie has already thought of that idea, but he will probably keep quiet about it until after the election.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Strängnäs, but it doesn’t sound bad at all, but then you’ve already claimed it. I’ll make sure to come visit once you’ve moved in!
