Just setting the record straight AI Overview Based on reports from early March 2026, U.S. forces engaged in significant naval actions against Iran, but the claim of 140 boats sunk is not substantiated by official statements. Reports indicate the U.S. destroyed over 30 to 44 Iranian vessels, including a frigate, over several days in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean.

Watching how no one lets the ambulances through, I feel I would be lucky to make it to the local hospital. It is about an 1 1/2 hr trip on a good day from here. Anyway, I let part B go 10 years ago. I have enough savings for most things, and being near 80, willing to accept what I can't afford.

"the airline reportedly fulfilled its obligations by ensuring the man’s basic needs were met throughout his prolonged stay at the airport." My guess to what happened is that the airline couldn't send him back to Singapore as he would not meet some immigration requirement. Since the airline was still responsible for him while he was at the airport, they had to ensure he was fed. This may all have been his plan all along.

I check out the site. It does seem to be a good one for those just starting. Some of the clearest pronunciations I have heard on an online course. I want to add a little known site https://lingopolo.org/

Age has a lot to do with it. I didn't start learning till I was in my late 60s. I thought since I had learn German and Spanish very quickly that I wouldn't have much trouble with Thai. I was quite mistaken. Now, over 10 years later, I just get by. I have a large Thai vocabulary and can read quite a bit of Thai, but I have trouble forming sentences. I still put in about an hr a day. Learning to read really helps, but when starting, I think learning a few phrases to get you interacting at the store, gas station, and restaurants goes a long way in building your confidence. As far as online courses. They all have their good points and their flaws. YouTube has some good "slow Thai" listening channels.

What you show there doesn't look too bad, but what I have seen around here is that it's cooked to a greyish paste. Doesn't look appealing at all.

Israel has said the bombing was coordinated with the US beforehand. Trump not knowing means he didn't bother reading the briefing or those under him felt it was best not to wake him.

That is also the possible reason Iran has only used their Sejil missiles once. They are waiting to soften defenses first. AI Overview The Iranian "dancing missile" is the Sejjil (or Sejil/Sajjil-2), an advanced, solid-fuel, medium-range ballistic missile. It earned this nickname due to its high-altitude maneuverability, which allows it to change trajectory and "dance" to evade defense systems like the Iron Dome, making it difficult to intercept. Key details about the Sejjil include: Performance: It has a reported range of up to 2000 –2500 km and a high, fast flight path, notes the Wikipedia article. Technology: Being a solid-fuel missile, it can be launched much faster than older, liquid-fuel systems, such as the Shahab. Use: It is designed to strike distant targets while defying interception through erratic, "zigzag" flight, says this post on Facebook. Range: The missile is designed to hit targets up to 2000 km away, according to this MSN article. The Sejjil is part of Iran's strategy to enhance long-range capabilities with solid-fuel technology.

I can think of 3 tails that wagged the dog in the WH.

Since it seems that Iran is using oil as a weapon by controlling the strait, but not closing it, I don't see that they would let the US keep the island if they got it. Iran supplies about 12% of the world's oil, and losing it would put a strain on the world economy, the island is only a loading point. Sure, it is how Iran exports 90% of that. If I were Iran, I would say if you dare come and take it, we will blow it up ourselves. I can't see them letting Trump dictate how their oil will be used. In case this is just a smoke screen, and the troops are there for the other purpose, there is satellite data that shows Iran may have already moved the uranium using several trucks. They may have split it up or are playing a shell game. Correction -- Iran has 12 % of the worlds oil reserves. It supplies a little less the 5% of the current world supply. about the same as United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

The vision that came to me was you getting your monthly pair of "Fruit of the Looms" with the month printed on them.

I don't think he ever saw the Brylcreem commercial "A little dap will do ya". My pet name for him is Greasy Head Set. You can sometimes see the shine from where the "grease " meets his powder foundation makeup.

Near Phimai. There have been long lines at times at the PTT. For some reason, PTT closed for about an hr yesterday. I think my wife said that was the day the government was allowing them to raise prices??? The privately owned gas station is only selling to family and friends. You can still fill Jerry Cans here. I saw a video of a place that didn't allow it. Workers were bringing in truckloads of weed wakers and then filling them individually.

Has anyone noticed how far the US keeps its aircraft carriers from Iran? I wonder why?

Please, let us know!

My only question is, how do they come up with the value of fake items?

Unless the US can do away with every drone and missile, Iran can keep control of the Straits of Hormuz. Iran can hit the shipping lanes from as far away as half their country. How many tankers would Iran have to sink to close the Straits? Here are some statistics. Each lane going in and out is only 3.5km wide. The Strait of Hormuz has varying depths, generally measuring between 200 and 330 feet (60 to 100 meters) throughout much of its width, with certain parts reaching over 650 feet. Large oil tankers, specifically Super Tankers or Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC), generally stand between 70 and 80 meters high (roughly 230 to 260+ feet), A fully loaded, large tanker ship (such as a Very Large Crude Carrier - VLCC) generally has a draft—the depth from the waterline to the bottom of the keel—of approximately 20 to 25 meters (65 to 82 feet).

I agree with what you say. But this is Thailand, where the driver got 2 weeks to put his life in order and leave before anyone gets a court order to arrest him.

The body didn't just disappear. It either still exists or it was disposed of. There has to be a paper trail, and where that trail ends has some explaining to do.

People have to realize they don't need to explain themselves to strangers.

I wondered about that myself. Maybe being part of "management" presents a loophole.
