People know.

no big fan of europe you know i would decouple uh on my own terms these aren't the terms uh that i would do it on and let's think about italy all right so italy nato country uh it is i think four u.s bay i want to say four major u.s bases probably 15 000 or so troops a major hub for africom operate remember benghazi and libya and all that they were scrambling the jets out of italy it's it's kind of a critical u.s node uh last time i checked

Their own prime minister, we'll get to this later on the show, their defense minister is saying like, he's like vague posting, being like, I can't sleep at night because of the things that I know that are coming.

So obviously then they're facing a crisis and it's not like their economy was doing all that well, even within the EU context.

So for them, high energy prices, it's a nightmare.

It's a total disaster, especially on top of what just happened with Russia and with Ukraine.

I guess continuing on down this line, let's just make sure that we get a couple more things

that are in here.

Oh, right, A-11, or sorry, A-12, please.

This also happened yesterday.

This was the Kuwaiti crude carrier, the al-Salmi, was directly attacked by Iranians docked at the anchorage area of the Dubai port in UAE.

So yesterday...

The UAE took more missiles and incoming drones than at any time since the first week of the war, showing, again, Iran's projected ability or Iran's ability to continue to project some force in the region and also to be able to hit whatever, you know, tanker that they want to.

There is some confusing stuff around this tanker.

Apparently, it was bound for China.

So there's a lot of reasons as for why Iran hit it.

They may have actually mistakenly targeted this carrier.

There was another one that was heading to Israel.

No, he's not.

1898?
