The Guardian:
Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said Donald Trump “talks too much” as he reacted to the US president’s threats that American forces would “start dropping bombs again” if no deal is reached between Washington and Tehran.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomatic Forum in Turkey, Khatibzadeh said: “That’s president Trump talk, he talks too much, he said contradictory things within the same statement.”

Trump was asked by reporters aboard Air Force One yesterday whether he would extend the temporary ceasefire with Iran, which expires on Wednesday, if a deal is not reached before then. He replied: “I don’t know, maybe not, maybe I won’t extend it, but the blockade is going to remain … and unfortunately we’ll have to start dropping bombs again”.

Well, I'm really a bit shocked. In about six weeks there will be fuel shortages in Europe.

I think I start hoarding gas lighters and plastic bags. (To put them next to the toilet paper stash)
Why lighters?

I think rather than be shocked, being pissed with Trump is a more appropriate emotional response.
True.
But I was already pissed with Trump.
Can one be double pissed with him?

Why toilet paper?
Because people need to wipe their asses, paper tissues would clog the toilet and sandpaper hurts like hell.

So, why gas lighters? Unlike toilet paper, those have multiple alternatives: matches, old-fashioned Zippo lighters, electric lighters, camping stoves, 9V blocks and steel wool, ferro rods and vaseline-coated cotton balls or birch bark for tinder. I mean, I get the convenience of a BiC lighter, but it's not as if there wouldn't be other options.

Trying to figure out the precise composition of Trump's various negative character traits is a bit like reading tea leaves.
Living here, it's also a bit like trying to figure out which tooth of the chainsaw hit you first.

Trump thinks he already has defeated Iran. Yup, right! BTW nice date for such a post: the 20th April is the birthday of Trump's Idol Adolf Hitler. Hooray!
