3 We should have sent these SOB's to hell months ago.
They'll continue to be nothing but trouble until they are destroyed.

6 There was also a report on X (but I lost it) about a clash between Iranian Peshmerga and the Irgc somewhere in Iran. I'm out on my phone.

13 Latest on X: sirens going off in Bahrain. possibly in association with a drone attack there. The US attacked Sirik.

14 Note: there's a Siri Island somewhere west of the strait, and a town called Sirik at the Eastern end of the Iranian side of the strait.

17 The fact that it is taking longer than expected should have the benefit of solidifying the alliance between Gulf states.

18 Now there are drone attacks going on in both Bahrain and Kuwait. No serious damage reported. I'm off to listen to my spooky podcasts, good night.

"Tonight we're talking to Gork, who was stalked y several bald hairless apes, who only stopped shooting at him after he hit one in the head with a rock and started to eat his arm..."

Anyway, goodnight...
