Sure I read somewhere that Iran have discovered an oil field in their own backyard which may contain 350 million barrels of oil . Wonder what bearing that could have ?
Trump has threatened to blow up 52 sites if the Iranians retaliate, of course these include cultural sites of great historic importance.
He has come up with the number 52 which represents the Americans who were taken hostage by the Iranians over 40 years ago, they were subsequently released unharmed.
Just wtf is going through this madman's head to come up with s*** like this? The most powerful man in the world behaving like a sulking school kid.
Normally you would have a good laugh at things like this, but the consequences of these delusional acts in the middle East are so dire for world peace it's frightening.

Right now, the most powerful person in the USA is John Bolton.
He has the choice to testify in Trump's impeachment or not. If he does, he can claim anything he likes, and the only way for Trump to counter it would be to allow Mulvaney, Guiliani etc to testify, which he absolutely does not want to happen.
He has the Presidency and the whole Republican party by the balls.
And what does he want? Well we know what he wants, and it seems he is getting it.
