So Trump “paused” project freedom after the Saudis got tired of all his bullshit and denied the US access to their airspace and airbases. He is running out of ways to get the strait open that doesn’t involve a straight up capitulation and retreat from the Middle East. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trumps-abrupt-u-turn-plan-re-open-strait-hormuz-came-backlash-allies-rcna343845 #uspol #iranwar #trump

@hasani@my-spaces.social *Asked whether the announcement of Project Freedom caught the Saudi leaders by surprise, the Saudi source said: “The problem with that premise is that things are happening quickly in real time.”* I'm so old that I remember when "the fog of war" was because of shitty communications and lack of understanding of the situation on the battlefield. Now "the fog of war" is the dementia and wild flailings of the leader of the largest combatant to find a coherent strategy, if not goals for the whole fucking murderous escapade.

@hasani@my-spaces.social The toddler that whacked a hornet’s nest will throw tantrum upon tantrum demanding a return to the status quo ante after getting stung. To no avail.
