Iran has launched missiles at a US airbase in Qatar in response to strikes on its nuclear sites on Saturday
Qatar confirms the attack on the US-run Al Udeid base, calling it a "flagrant violation" and says it reserves the right to respond directly - it adds all the missiles were intercepted and there are no reports of casualties
The country has temporarily closed its airspace and US and UK citizens have been advised to shelter in place
In Washington, Donald Trump and defence officials are holding a Situation Room meeting, two days after the US launched massive strikes against three nuclear facilities inside Iran
It comes as Israel it has been targeting Tehran with "unprecedented force", including attacks on "access routes" to the Fordo nuclear site and Evin prison less
Do you work outside where there's no shade? Are you on your knees or bent over most of the day doing your job? Are you able to cool off indoors somewhere when you get overheated?
I'd give you one week of this heat and humidity oiut in the fields for double your pay before you threw in the towel. I don't think you realize how difficult the work is.
I think Trump has a highly inflated sense of his negotiating abilities. Makes me wonder if we would be in this position had Trump not pulled us out of the nuclear treaty. I guess time will tell how far this goes.
No, I don't because with the US now concentrating on Iran, any support for Ukraine will be severely diminished. I'm not sure that Europe can supply Ukraine sufficiently.
I find it difficult to believe that even you are that naive. Let's see how many Americans will be applying for jobs picking fruits and vegetables when the immigrants are gone.

The Atlantic continued (emphasis ours):
Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers." In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as "suckers" for getting killed.
