Day 62. Week 9. Unchanged. Donald issues another threat with a countdown. Honestly this is such an overused tactic I am not covering the content of said threat. The IRGC may have attacked the Lincoln CBG, presumably for moving into range of the Iranian coast. It appears there will be kinetic developmen…
