Dwight D. Eisenhower
When he assumed command of NATO forces in Europe in 1951, stated:

“If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States, then this whole project will have failed.”

Well its 65+ years now.

3 Saar doesn't deny claims about Ukrainian grain: 'Present evidence of theft'
Foreign Minister Gideon Saar did not deny that Russian ships carrying grain from Ukrainian territory under Russian occupation have unloaded or are set to unload cargo in Israel. Following accusations by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who threatened to impose sanctions on Israel, Saar claimed that "the Ukrainian government has not provided evidence for its claims. If you have evidence of theft - present it through the proper channels." He attacked: "We reject this 'Twitter diplomacy.' The director-general of the Foreign Ministry spoke earlier with Israeli tax authorities, who have begun examining the matter." According to Kyiv, one ship with stolen grain has already unloaded in Israel, and another is on its way to unload.

4 I thought the harvest and export of grain was agreed by all sides to not be disturbed.

Ukraine kept messing with the terms of the agreement that Russia stopped shipping out grain on its ships

7 Neat. Seem to remember a grain ship being struck some time ago but is was framed as more of an oopsie-doopsie IIRC. Guess we can be done with the World Will Starve Without This Grain! stuff?
