‘Trump said Iran had proposed a “workable” 10-point peace plan.
According to Iranian state media, the ten-point proposal includes a
number of conditions that the US has in the past rejected. Among them
are controlled transit through strait of Hormuz coordinated with Iranian
armed forces and withdrawal of all US forces from regional bases. The plan
would also require the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions,
payment of full compensation to Iran and release of all frozen Iranian
assets.

"They’re shuttering every single one of the ten regional offices that have governed this agency since Gifford Pinchot built the system over a century ago — and with them, the career professionals who spent entire lifetimes earning the expertise and the authority to push back when politicians came calling with bad ideas and worse motives. They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees called 'state directors,' embedded in state capitals alongside the very governors, legislators, and industry lobbyists who have spent their careers demanding that the Forest Service log more, protect less, and get out of the way."

Suppose you've walked into a Persian rug store knowing nothing about the 2,000-year history of Persian rugs.

And, by the way, the rug merchant knows EVERYTHING about Persian rugs, and you know nothing. AND you're constitutionally incapable of admitting what you do not know.

I was surprised to learn that the U.S. is ranked only 7th in NATO for 2025 military spending as a percentage of GDP (after Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Denmark, and Norway — five NATO countries that border Russia, and one that's facing open military threats from a fellow NATO member, the aforementioned U.S. 😕).
Canada is in 29th place (3rd last), and even then, only because we reclassified Border Services and the Coast Guard from civilian to military. It's one list where I don't mind being low in the rankings. 🤷
