Notice how France has gotten a couple of its containership ships? France is also banned US military flights associated with the conflict from its airspace.<br>When Trump said to NATO/European countries that was up to them to figure it out, this is figuring it out.

I've been watching Sal for years learning about international maritime trade, it's through his eyes and experience I've understood how much of a monumental fuckup this situation is....

Love me some Sal Mercogliano. And it is great that he’s meeting Bulwark folks right about now.

It's so funny, Vance wants so badly to be seen as some pious statesmen, humbly converted to Catholicism, but the moment his political prospects are threatened by the Catholic Church exposing the moral corruption of the Trump administration, the mask slips, and you can see the seething psychopath smirking through. Vance never stopped being the creep who wore wigs in college, he just changed the wigs a few times throughout the years.
