F.F.S. We went to war on the advice of two real estate developers. Apologies in being late to the daily bitch sessions .
I’m catching up on the news i been having some long days at work.
And it just keeps getting worse as the news is now saying. Iran has laid mines in the straits.
I’m very doubtful that this administration ever took the possibility of mining the straits into consideration.
