Also, any airline that takes advantage of that should be held accountable.

I just don't understand why he did this. It's the equivalent of leaving a taxi door open on purpose to spite the driver.
He loves power, especially abusing it, especially to thumb his nose at the incoming administration. I swear, if the generals had been a little more slaves to Trump that **** would have bombed Iran and started a whole new war, dragging the US into yet another quagmire. You know he'd have done it.

He had plenty of opportunity to kick up a war with Iran. He wasn’t very hawkish. The truth is we need to not let the next administration pull any of that bull****.

That's different (Hawkish! Hah!) - he would have had to deal with the fallout himself. But it was reported that he wanted to do it in the last sixty days but the generals stood up to him.

On the way to Saudi, the plane develops difficulties, ends up forced landing in Afghanistan. After surviving three weeks in the mountains by subsisting off of Rudy and Don Jnr., he is rescued by Afghan warlords. They hold him for ransom, threaten to behead him but when nobody cares, an angry Trump rises to power in the war clan, overthrowing the local warlord, Abu bin Biden by having his own followers storm the mountain.

He then leads a revitalised Al Quada/ISIS against the USA in a true war, (only pussies indulge in namby-pamby civil war!) and finally establishes the worldwide caliphate, under the Trump brand.

Doesn't need it. He's already an iron man. Didn't you hear he single-handedly beat Covid personally? He's immune (also to 400 K US deaths).

Saw this interview on CNN earlier today. Was hoping to see a YT clip but nothing surfaced so here's an extended quotation of the brief segment:

Michael Osterholm, a coronavirus adviser to President-elect Joe Biden and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said on CNN’s New Day Tuesday, that he worries that in the coming weeks, the coronavirus pandemic will turn into something unlike anything seen before, and most people don’t realize that yet.

“We’re going to suddenly see these variants come to play that based on the experience we’ve seen in Europe, in particular, South Africa, these variants can substantially increase the number of cases,” Osterholm said.
“I worry desperately in the next six to 12 weeks we’re going to see a situation with this pandemic unlike anything we’ve seen yet to date,” Osterholm said. “And that is really a challenge that I don’t think most people realize yet.”

When asked by CNN’s Alisyn Camerota if there was anything that the Biden administration could do to prevent this, Osterholm said the first step is “to get people to understand: This will happen, we are going to see a major increase in cases, the challenge is how many.”

Secondly, he said “we can’t make the vaccine go much faster than it is right now,” adding that while he knows the Biden administration will do everything it can to move vaccine out, other actions are needed now.

“The difference is going to be, are we going to react now or later,” Osterholm said. Like other places, he said that the US will take “dramatic steps” to deal with the variants, but “the question is how soon will we do it? Do we put the brakes on after the cars wrapped around the tree, or we try to put the brakes on before we leave the intersection?”

“That’s the challenge,” he said. “I just don’t know if we’re really prepared to even have that discussion yet.”


This guy was talking about the world's failure to deal with the cytokine storm in the 1918 epidemic and predicted an upcoming crisis looming from the failure back in 2019 (the ebola days) -
