Indeed. The iranians are, in fact, saying Donald shit himself when he realised what he'd said, and he backed down. Now we'll have to see if he paps himself again when his five day deadline is up. Or if he makes up some more jackanory that can't be verified.So it seems that Trumpy Trump blinked.He hasn't done anything that he wasn't already planning to do.![]()
Or did he?![]()
If the Islamic Guard do anything on the meantime then it confirms that their out of line and off it goes again. If they actually negotiate then they've failed.
It's a bit of a clever play because it appeases the rest of the world whilst giving the IRGC the chance to back down, which obviously they won't as it would be to admit weakness and be humiliating.
Not quite check mate, but they're definitely in a corner.
Launcing missiles at Diego Garcia was a significant tactical error on their part.
I've said it before but if it were Obama doing this it would be a the epitome of tactical mastery, but because it's Donald,...
He gave Iran an ultimatum at the weekend that if they didn't open the Straight of Hormuz, he would bomb their power stations.
Iran responded that if he bombed their power stations, they would bomb their neighbours power stations in response.
This morning Trumpy Trump 'postponed' bombing Irans power stations saying there had been 'productive conversations'.
Iran say there have been no conversations and as far as I can tell the Straight of Hormuz is still closed.
Meanwhile, Brent Crude has dumped from around $110 a barrel to $94.50 and all the NYSE indices are all up by over 2.5%. There's people out there making a killing and there are plenty of accusations of market manipulation and insider trading flying around!
If I had a suspicious mind I might think that a certain prominant US family's net worth has gone up substantially today.

Gotcha DocAccording to the poster, he has a Desmond.This is true. However it's fitted with a similar engine managed system to the DBW V6 so the faulty codes are much the same |

Is that a translation of "we found someone will to pay full price, so you're discounted price meant you're bumped"?

I think K2 plus and K2 Pro are similar print heads. Not sure about the base K2, specs imply max lower temps, so something must be different to that Ah yes, I'd forgotten about the Pro, I'm guessing that's the one that's the same as the max, rather than the boggo K2. After ordering two and sending them back for being absolute toss, I'm currently printing a pump I can power with a drill to get the diesel out of the chrysler. |

Unless fitted with a proper gearboxGearbox makes no difference to how crap (comparatively speaking) the engine is, as well you know. |
