But all of Frump’s friends made a bundle when Oil suddenly dropped. The US crude benchmark, tumbled 18% to $92 a barrel — a sharp drop but still well above the $67 level it settled at on February 27, before the war began. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, dropped nearly 17%, to $91 a barrel. The Frump cartel laughing all the way to the bank.

Am imagining the humiliation of the BBC when convicted of media War crimes will come on a beautiful sunny day.

Ceasefire?

More misery of narrative oppression!

Taco Tuesday. Just another taco Tuesday....but , realize this all doesnt effect Trump...he'll still be looking for places to spend taxpayers resources for his archa ,his new WH columns, and his this year's huge birthday party for him .. Not our Nation but him . After all as American citizens costs of living are unreachable because we're all struggling to stay within our budgets ,We The People are covering Trumps rent ,his utility bills , his transportation , his medical bills , his Gatsby parties at his Mar -A- loco ,his golf getaways , and new decor ,his attys fees for his TRUMP/ EPSTEIN files ..and the old tear down of our First Ladies East Wing ...the destruction of the rose garden and new placement of the WH outside bar lounge .And of course the remodeling of the WH 2 or maybe 3 times now . And his war costing us a billion a day. For what ? He said we have plenty of oil , we can sell to everyone now ,yet over half the world ( as a instance Thailand , Cambodia wont be cooking for a long time ) Other nations like Ukraine , and middle Eastern states won't have heat or electricity .New Zealand , Australia no gas or energy .All the rest of the world will feel the complete devastation one cruel conman has inflicted on our world but Trumpy won't, it gives him a orgasam because he loves inflicting cruelty on others LESS FORTUNATE . He doesnt understand hardships because hes never had them ...he'd take a viagra and it would be solved .

It would be nice if any of this meant anything, but the bombing will go on, as we've seen in Gaza for at least 3 years, and now Lebanon. Lucy pulls the football one more time.

All down to ordinary Americans. Get rid of Trump and his entire team. Fast. Ban dual US and Israeli citizenship. Ban AIPAC. BDS Israel. Ban political donations over $100. Ensure tax goes on people not bombs. Yup, you can do it. Social collapse if you don't.

Good analysis, just hope that whoever had Trumps attention at the “deadline” time can maintain a grip on him.

"Follow the money" they say, I think it was a word from Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink that persuaded Trump to back off.

“David , also in his 20s and living in Tel-Aviv, said: "About them hitting energy infrastructure, using an atomic bomb, or levelling Israel. My

honest reaction is that I'm OK with all of these.”

Really?

trump will probably be looking for someone else to pick on in just a matter of hours...

It is too long past time for Impeachment.

Congress, make it happen NOW before trump does something else even more foolish.

Much appreciate your perspective from outside the US. The BBC edit is a reminder about the pressures applied to the press, globally.

Since their new pro zionist, right wing, pro bullshit leader was put in after Trump deciding he was suing them for saying he did say what he said - encouraging 6th Jan nutters - they can't be trusted one iota. They tended to be slightly more honest in their American leg, but that's a thing of the past. It's kissing Trump and Netanyahus arses all the way now.
