Then you will have a famine and refugee crisis that dwarfs anything else ever experienced to date, which will overwhelm any country’s capacity to handle, possibly inciting revolt in Arab countries and bringing untold and unimaginable consequences. Moreover, do you think the Iranians are going...

I would have added the next to last para about infrastructure. Our problems predate Covid.

Not sure what their issue is. Perhaps fielding the same team as last year?

That should be listed in the eBay section, not here.

Wow, I knew Ken, bought some stuff for him and used to see him at shows. He was a teacher. Real sad news.

Here’s an article in today’s NYT, which is very informative and quite a bit scary about how Iran went all out on enrichment after we withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018. Article is unlocked...

Jason, I haven’t read this but The Air War in Vietnam by Michael Weaver is supposed to be good. Some others: Clashes: Air Combat over North Vietnam, 1965-1972 by Marshall Michel. On Yankee Station: The Naval Air War over Vietnam by John Nichols and Barrett Tillman

That shows why China is a growth market. You have a large crowd who are mostly young. Contrast that with the west where the crowds are sparse and the attendees older. That is the reason Michael Wang, for example, only sells in the China market. He can sell out his production with out having to...

By air war do you mean fighters (Phantoms, etc.) or helicopters, and are you looking for an analysis of how air power was used or more anecdotal books (memoirs).

Your reply emphasizes tactics over strategy. Tactically it’s been a success but strategically a failure. Their leadership is still in charge, but now more hardline. As Israel has learned with Hamas you can kill off leaders but others develop. We are no closer to having them give up nuclear than...

Only one president took this on and in the end Trump will probably agree to something like Obama did. Trump really has no conception of what he’s doing. He forgot to take the Straits into account and that’s why we have a mess. He wanted to effect regime change and we now have a situation worse...

I have many pieces from Attica, my first being Churchill and the bulldog from Cartoon Miniatures.

See George’s comment. More seriously, they lost Nimmo and Alonso, two of the mainstays of the team and they have a lot of transitional players while players on the farm are developing. There aren’t a lot of great players there. Stearns, the GM, is not an Alonso fan and didn’t see paying him...

Impressive looking collection.

Understood. You need to satisfy your market rather than the west, which is, frankly, not a growth market. Best of luck to you. Brad

Here’s an article on the pros and cons of the 2016 nuclear deal. Article unlocked. “What Was the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal? President Trump has ridiculed President Barack Obama and the agreement, which he withdrew from during his first term. His critics say he could have avoided a war had he left...

Notwithstanding the cost of shipping, could a person outside of China order these if they are willing to pay for these costs?

I thought his statement was fine. He said he’s had some difficult conversations with his wife, team, etc. I don’t think he needs to go beyond that as it’s basically a private matter between him and his family. I’m sure he’s damaged the trust between him and his wife and hopefully they can...

Trump has indefinitely extended the cease fire. I have no issue extending it but don’t like the indefinite idea. To hold their feet to the fire you need a date certain or nothing gets done. I remember when we were doing deals to buy or sell companies. Unless there was a date fixed for closing...

Is that supposed to be Roosevelt third from right. If so, looks good.
