This is Iran's 10 point plan - which Trump has accepted as "a workable basis on which to negotiate." Have no doubt: This is the biggest strategic defeat suffered by the US since its emergence as a superpower.

Indian has 0.7 active physicians per 1,000 people, America has 3.0 active physicians per 1,000 people. You are a liar. You are not motivated by increasing patient access to care. You just want to practice in America because you can make more money.

The Houthis are a tough opponent who should not be underestimated. There are six key points to understand about their entry into this conflict. (1) in the Civil War in Yemen, they fought the United Arab Emirates and Saudis for seven years and came out on top, controlling most of the country; (2) they have a more advanced missile capabilities than they get credit for. Ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and pretty decent air defense that almost shot down several of our planes in Operation Rough Rider; (3) remember in that conflict we had our hands full. They showed adaptability and resilience. They came close to hitting a few of our ships, in fact, came so close to our aircraft carrier that it had to swerve and dump an F-18 in the ocean. They can fight; (4) this will complicate our air defense requiring a radar to look in two different directions and axes of attack. We pissed away a lot of munitions and air defense missiles without rationing enough to plan for them to come into the war; (5) 5-10% of the world’s oil flows through the Ban-el-Mandeb Strait on the Red Sea. They can really crank up the economic attrition strategy of the regime in Iran; (6) fundamentally, it’s a fresh player coming into a war in the third quarter after the parties have been beating on each other for most of the game. This is a calculated escalation by the Iranian regime. While Trump makes fake threats that amount to war crimes, speaks in incomprehensible double talk, and seems like he’s spinning his wheels in place with nowhere to go, the regime has been clear in its language, and in its escalation, making the most of the advantages that it had. In my opinion, we’ve been getting our ass kicked good and hard on strategy no question and this is another example of it. This war just got more complicated.
