#314Good to see minesweeper is still existing today.
As for "winning" - Trump will say everything, from A to the opposite Z. It is the flood-the-zone-with-shit strategy, as explained in the 1980s by Yuri:

So, rather than evaluate what Trump says, one has to evaluate what is happening.

It might not be. It might be. Uncertainty is the point of what Iran is doing. There might be mines in the straight that are sophisticated enough to be armed, disarmed, or moved on command, or there might not. There might be artillery emplacements* hidden and not found, ready to pop up... or there might not. There are probably still plenty of drones and missiles all over the country that can be called down on Hormuz a…

We’ve seen with Palestine that human suffering, unfortunately, does not motivate Americans like gas prices do. So it’s not a reflection of my priorities so much as something to point to to get people to stop supporting Trump’s policies. At the end of the day, we have heard the same thing for a decade. Ignore his tone, ignore his words, ignore this or that policy, because the economy is/is going to be great. When the…
