Undersecretary Elbridge Colby summoned the Papal Nuncio to the Pentagon, said the pope better get in line with Trump, and referenced the “Avignon Papacy”, a historical event where France kidnapped and killed the pope then set up a puppet Papacy.

That’s one the most insanely stupid things I’ve ever heard. Tokens are a tool used to do your job, a business expense, not fucking compensation.
Are the kWh that you use to light and air condition an office part of your compensation? How about toner and paper in the office printer?

Also, fun fact! We decommissioned our minesweeper fleet in the Gulf, the last of them were shipped out from Bahrain in January. You know, just weeks before we started a damn naval war. All we got now is some equipment bolted onto repurposed LCS…
The problem with the ‘declare victory and leave’ is that the enemy gets a vote. Even if shitler pulled forces back, Iran ain’t got no reason to stop shooting tankers now.
Also… Do we just have two carrier groups trapped in the Gulf now? Guess our navy is just gonna have to ‘man up’ like he told the tankers to? That could get real spicy REAL quick.
