#2 When my mother married, she was gifted a complete set of copper-bottomed Revereware pots and pans. Beautiful things, perfect for small children (of which she had four in four years, because my parents started late) to bang on the kitchen floor while singing extemporaneously together. When I married, my mother gifted me my very own set of Revereware copper-bottomed pots and pan. Sadly, in the meantime the copper had gone from a full 1/4” thickness to the very palest of washes, no doubt a great cost saving for the manufacturer; it looked very pretty when first taken out of the box, but wore off as soon as I ventured necessary scrubbing.

Thus is the iron cladding of President Biden’s promise compared to those of presidents past. In my considered opinion, of course.

#3 Bombing a diplomatic compound is a serious violation of international law.
When the #1 backer of the rules-based international order doesn't enforce the rules, that looks very bad to everyone who wants to join BRICS.

Perhaps the end of ne'er-do-wells hiding behind the thin facade of outdated international law will become routine.

#9 Destroy three of Irun’s major ports with submarine “torpedos” or other means. Destroy their nuke facilities or bomb their leaders.
