Breaking from Yahoo News!

The US Navy seized an Iranian flagged vessel in or near the Strait of Hormuz!

So much for a peace talks or a cease fire agreement!

This is going to blow up into a full out war!

Thanks Donald, NOT!

That take a lot of planning. That meeting in Alaska wasn't just for show.

because the parallels with Trump's behavior in Iran are making me think he is trying to orchestrate a start for WW3 to make sure he has at least one tale for future history books where he played a major role. He seems awfully frustrated when he tries to drag in other countries and they won't play nice.
