First name Vickers per chance??
With that tone he would make a solid WWO
One of our lads made a boo-boo a couple of years ago. If you are dealing with an assault police case you fill in a proforma and it generates a statement from the Assistant Commissioner which explains the impact that assaults on police have on the individual, the force and effectively the nation as a whole. This is then emailed to the AC who signs it electronically and send it back. Once you have it you then add it to your casefile as a non-key witness statement (so not someone you need to prove the offence or who needs calling to court).
As you can guess our genius marked it as a key witness statement so the Assistant Commissioner was called to court to provide evidence. 
Looks like someone has leaked the delayed intelligence reports regarding the strike, which supposedly say Iran’s program is not completely destroyed at all, rather just set back a few months. This report was written by the Pentagons Defence Intelligence Agency, but the White House is saying that it is wrong, of course.
He’s going even more insane.
They’ve pretty much admitted the leak is ‘real’ that it did come from the Pentagon. But Trump somehow knows more than they do about the outcome of the strikes?
They’re really getting into the whole if you should loud enough and long enough then you can lie as much as you like.
Where’s he getting his intelligence from then if not from his intelligence services?

Fixed that for you
Yeah, but, they’re wrong? So why listen to them when Fox News says Iran has nukes?
Interesting that even the Church of England are now looking at war plans.

Nothing like ramping up the rhetoric or pressure
I’m with Trump on this one - think it’s actually appropriate what he has said for a change.
Russia & Medvedev keep referring to nuclear weapons as an intimidation tactic & has made reference several times to nuking Britain.
Trump has basically said “ you are an idiot & we we now have to be prudent in case you are even more of an idiot”

Exactly this.
Being massively over blown in somr quarters.
Dont forget. nato has immediate nuclear strike capabiity on russia at any point at all times anyhow. This is just a ‘please shut the flip up’ message.

“We are still here; we will not ignore you.”
Who do we trust more, Putin or Trump? Not sure at this moment in time
Knowing that we can’t trust them and having a high degree of confidence that they’ll act in their own self interest is the positive of the situation, though.
There’s a high probability that the Russians will bluff, or otherwise stop short of carrying out the full extent of any threats. But we cannot be seen to call it, because then what was a bluff might escalate.
Trump needs to not be weak while faced with this, and if the time comes that the Russians aren’t bluffing, probably won’t want to then be seen to be backing down.
Trump also is probably being advised to act to counter Russia as a positive story to balance against or distract from the mess back in the USA.

I just wish both Putin & Trump would consider the human side of their actions before any further escalations.
This is a friend’s post on Facebook this morning, she’s one of two friends I have from Ukraine who are still there:
I started my RAF career as an AEOp, tracking Soviet machines……
Submarines, unseen & hopefully not tracked.
Apart from Russian ones - they will have an (un)friendly escort keeping tags on them.
Deploying USA subs has got to be in an area that would be of value if they had to launch any Tomahawks (typical range 1000 miles?) - but be in relatively safe waters. They probably wouldn’t position close to Vladivostok so maybe it would have to be east of Japan?? I wouldn’t call those “friendly”
waters though.
i guess this is the point of the nuclear deterrent - making the deterrent more obvious by parking it on the “front lawn” (close by) highlighting the deterrent is “real”
