Meh. He pulled top shelf tail - Gennifer Flowers as governor, Markie Post as President (among others).
No pity required or warranted in this case.

Since France will be HQ of the European Caliphate, in a way, he is arming Muslim extremists of the future.

re: Question for bassists (actually, ALL musicians)
Posted by Ace Midnight on 3/3/26 at 11:13 am to Uatu
Well, I only hung out with musicians forever (a - not very good at that - drummer).
Then, I started playing bad, bad guitar about 25 years ago. Now, I play piano pretty horrifically.

Assuming it is true, how badly did Iran FAFO to get the Saudis to join Israel in a fight?
The Soviets actually created this partnership back in 1980. Iran is just making it palatable for it to be a public one.

The people who do not appreciate how great America is can kindly go somewhere else. Quickly. Please. Move faster if it wouldn't be too much trouble, kind sirs/madams/howeverthefricks.

Im going with they crossed over into Kuwait and assumed their IFF was good enough, so they felt they were relaxed and out of danger.
I'm not well-versed in procedures to really speculate intelligently about the specifics, but my best (*least wild, I suppose, would be better) guess is that one of them might have had a fuel/mechanical/damage issue, so they stayed together, ended up outside specified inbound vectors and altitudes - the emergency didn't get passed through so whoever on the ground in Kuwait saw them, got clearance and splashed them based on the deviation/confusion.
Just fortunate the crews all survived without major injuries (based on reporting).

Like him or not, this is the culmination of Bibi's life's work.
If only one of the two main U.S. political parties worked as hard for the nation's best interests the way Likud does for Israel, particularly when in power.

This is consistent with the Kuwaiti reporting, FWIW.

What if the U.S. and Israel neutralize the IRGC?
