I was so p---ed off. I let him know. He has no f---ing judgement. I let him know that," Trump said. Iranian officials have not said if they are willing to sign a deal by Sunday. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's lead negotiator with the U.S, suggested that Israel could undermine U.S. credibility with the deal.

They will typically come with Win7 and some software, which can be a full MS Office-pack, fully licensed. Good for offline work, but cannot &#x2014; or rather should not &#x2014; be used online.  An old computer might have a limited hardware lifetime left &#x2014; especially the hard drive &#x2014; which you shaould compare in price to buying a new machine with full warranty.  An old Win 7 can be needed if you are using older &#x2014; but still cool functional &#x2014; software, which cannot woth on a 64-bit system, while a 32-bit Win7 or WinXP does the job. I bought for example such a secondhand Win7 PC for a brand new, but now rare, professional negative/dias scanner, that don't have drivers for Win10+.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 05:44:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Russia&#x2019;s Manpower Edge Over Ukraine Begins to Fade</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396711-russias-manpower-edge-over-ukraine-begins-to-fade/?do=findComment&comment=20553921]]></link><description>Much the same as Trump's incredible mistake with Iran Putin grossly estimated Ukraine and is now paying the price.

LOL but Trump keeps insisting on the lying   "Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz," it (Trump) added.  Regardless of a ceasefire deal that reopens the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's demonstrated ability to shut it down will continue to hang over the global economy, rendering the narrow waterway a contested space.  Iran proved it can close the Strait of Hormuz, but the U.S. is advertising very loudly that the world&#x2019;s top superpower can at least punch open a hole  https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/iran-proved-close-strait-hormuz-180456521.html</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 05:41:55 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Reminds Foreign Workers of 10 Restricted Jobs</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396725-thailand-reminds-foreign-workers-of-10-restricted-jobs/?do=findComment&comment=20553919]]></link><description>It's not your problem as a customer.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 05:41:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Workers Begin Removing Trump's Name From Kennedy Center</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396658-workers-begin-removing-trumps-name-from-kennedy-center/?do=findComment&comment=20553918]]></link><description>Trump does not deserve his name on a plastic outhouse, much less the Kennedy Center. He has done absolutely nothing to deserve this honor, and self honoring oneself is not exactly considered an act of nobility.   How to attract enemies, diminish influence, ruin prestige, and alienate allies. That should be the new Trump motto.   On a daily basis this man demonstrates additional levels of goonery, clown like behavior, and utter absurdness. What an incredibly sad and pathetic example of the human species he is.    Americans should be recoiling in horror at this demonstration of self aggrandizement, certainly the world is looking on with astonishment at the shame he is bringing upon a nation that used to be fairly great, but has descended  into a land of chaos, mass murders, political division, shootings, criminality, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, silly levels of real inflation, and diminished influence.   The honor and the pride is completely gone, right out the window. Trump is trashing everything America used to stand for.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 05:40:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Ukraines Floating Drone Aircraft Carrier: Video</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396757-ukraines-floating-drone-aircraft-carrier-video/?do=findComment&comment=20553917]]></link><description>Ukraine Uses Floating Drone Aircraft Carrier to Hit Russian Forces on the Dnipro River, Video Ukrainian marines are using an uncrewed surface platform known as &#x201C;Barracuda&#x201D; to deploy FPV strike drones and bomber drones against Russian positions in the Dnipro River delta.  The 40th Separate Marine Brigade published footage showing the system in operation in the island zone of the Dnipro River. The platform allows operators to transport drones closer to Russian positions by water before launching them against designated targets.

The amount of chaos Trump has caused for the entire planet with his unnecessary forever war is astounding. It was sich a bad choice and the timing could not have been worse, as the world economy is already challenged enough. This means nothing to him as his wealth continues to grow through massive corruption. What did they think was going to happen with the strait and why did they think they could handle the consequences of this recklessness?   Trump deserves severe punishment for this act. America will be reaping the blowback for years to come and nobody knows how long the chaos will last.  Dumb and dumber. Pure Don style stupidity and staggering levels of ignorance and hubris. The only good that can come from this is if MAGA devotees finally realize what a dunce they supported and rise up against this street trash pig president.  One of the biggest liabilities that Trump had leading up to this war was the decision to use two absolute imbeciles in the form of Witkoff and Kushner. They are both rabid Zionists, they both deliberately lied to Iran during the negotiations in order to fool them into thinking that the US was sincere, and look at the outcome that we have. The thing that a very tiny mind like Trump doesn't get is that Iran will not negotiate with the US at this point. Many reports are coming out that Witkoff is begging the Iranian foreign minister for meetings and his calls are not being returned.   The US has backed themselves into a corner and the economic devastation has been way beyond what they anticipated, and the price they're going to pay for this in the midterms is going to be brutal. Unchecked inflation, rising unemployment, the closing of hundreds of thousands of small businesses, no return of manufacturing to the US, a shortage of labor due to extreme and short sighted immigration policy, and the abandonment of any hope that Trump would improve the quality of life for Americans, but instead we get sabotage of those hopes for the entire planet.  Don's demise will be a good thing, as Trump will lose his power and he will just become a whiny gutter trash punk, will have to deal with being doubly impotent, and hopefully he will eventually disappear into oblivion. Morbid sickness is quite likely, considering his rapid decline, and his three or four cheeseburger a day diet. See ya Don. You will not be missed, the world will celebrate your demise with such glee, millions will take to the streets and welcome the return of civility, decency, honor, grace and hope.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 05:39:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Mosquito management inside the house</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396745-mosquito-management-inside-the-house/?do=findComment&comment=20553914]]></link><description>Thanks for the new responses.

In this particular case it is very likely that she will never regain anything resembling the quality of life she had prior to this act of utter foolishness and desperation.
