Boeing manufactured the KC-135 Stratotanker for the US military in the 1950s and early 1960s.

And all this followed, potentially, by a Trump recession caused by instability in the Middle East. Unless some miracle averts it.

Venezuela opens its gold and gas-rich subsoil to the United States Parliament debates new rules for mining and incentives for foreign investment in an area that is controlled by criminal groups and which has become a major environmental disaster

Interesting. The first contract for oil is with Shell (not, for example, Exxon). Sort of good, I guess.

Seems like the Swiss have been a lot more pragmatic than we have. Hopefully we can become more pragmatic.

But a tremendous feat of in-flight refueling logistics. Some of the Victor refuelling aircraft were refueled themselves more than once. It's incredible that they got a bomb anywhere near the runway with all the things that could've gone wrong, especially with the then ancient aircraft.

I'm sorry. I don't believe that weir is 900 years old.

There's a "Triggers broom" situation going on, surely.

Question. Will the Straits of Hormuz be the US Navy's San Carlos Water?

Obviously naval air defences are better than they were in 1982, but nevertheless, the site of a USN ship on fire after a drone, or mine strike would set the world's media alight. And would further upset US public opinion.

Reminds me of a sketch in, I think, "Goodness Gracious Me" . A group of Indian youths get drunk and decide to "Go for an English". They try to out-do each other in the blandness of what they order.
It's probably decades old. Some may recall it.

Very worrying. Trump should go down as the worst US President in history.
