Worthwhile read comparing "war of destruction" vs "war of disruption." As some dead German guy said, "“The first, the supreme, the most far-reaching act of judgment that the statesman and commander have to make is to establish by that test the kind of war on which they are embarking; neither mistaking it for, nor trying to turn it into, something that is alien to its nature.”

A cargo ship has come under attack off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center reported the attack off Yemen on Sunday.
Iran continues to want to show it can deny safe transit to civilian shipping. Doubt that’ll change soon.
Those deals are toast the minute he leaves office. I wonder what the exit plan is for the Trump family there.
The US failed to deliver for the Gulf allies. I can't even imagine the reckoning coming when Trump is in a less threatening position (ie out of office).
