Today winds up week three and begins week four. Pete said when this started that it would end in four or five weeks. (But as gums and others have noted, the enemy gets a vote as regards when they think that is over). I would suggest that we operate under the assumption that it will last another week, maybe a bit more. (Not because I believe much of anything he says, but due to (1) the logistics involved and (2) local government sending a lot of private messages to DJT about their appetite for armed conflict.

I noted in the JB Iran thread that one of our Brit posters has talked with some active duty UK personnel, and they don't appreciate being disrespected.
Completely understand their feelings.
Got all kinds of barbs thrown at US forces when I was working in NATO, but not usually by the heads of state of our allies. Heads of state tended to operate at a certain level of decorum.
If they are upset with his comments, they have solid grounds to feel that way.
