So much for a day off. ​A blast just hit a closed military VIP banquet at Moscow’s Balzi Rossi (3 dead, 20+ wounded). ​State media claims a "gas leak." Minor detail: the Stalinist skyscraper runs on electricity. Zero gas lines. ​Classic Kremlin vranyo in action. 1/thread

With Iran closing Hormuz again...well, pick between a fiasco and just bombing the shit out of their water supply. From a mercenary standpoint, I'd pick the latter. That is, if you want to reach an agreement. Or, adapt to Hormuz being permanently closed. Not nice, but only two options Trump has.
