The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread

@bachophile Have a great trip. If I may ask, what part of Italy will you be?
@taiwan_girl Milan area. Family visit. (This time Mrs Bach's family) Saturday we drive up to the mountains above Como for some scenery and a mountain meal. Return to the holy land on Monday evening.
My father was also a Milanese. My whole father’s side are all wops. ( my mother was born in the USA already) They ran away from Poland back in WW I times (the Great War) and he was born in Turin although grew up in Milan. Long story short my father left Italy to go to pre nazi germany to Frankfurt to study but come the 1933 racial laws meant no Jews in university so he returned to Italy and then was smart enough to leave Italy when the racial laws there also took effect and ended up in London.
Anyway because my father was forced to leave nazi germany in 1933, my kids (his grandchildren) are all legally eligible for German passports. So my kids are all soon to be tri nationals. Israel American and German citizens. (I could also but I never bothered to)
Just some biographical tidbits which explains why we visit Italy often. I have lots of Italian cousins and relatives.
And can understand some Italian although I can’t speak a word.
And how all this ended up in the Iran nuclear thread is a mystery.

That lower left highlighted in red pizza icon. Not sure what that's supposed to be, there isn't a pizza place there last I've seen, but the area does change quickly. The pizza icon in the top of it is a Pizzato though.
I only looked up that lower icon as I used to order (completely sober btw) pizzas from a place near there in the late 2000's after playing FIFA soccer at 1am.

Wasn't that guy a villain in one of the early Bond movies?

Has Trump realised these Iranian terrorist mullahs are simple folk who serve mammon? Still wanting nuclear weapons. Now wanting control of the Strait waters to extract tolls.
He must be tempted to turn their western coastal areas into a radioactive wasteland.
The sooner we all import nothing from the area, the better.

All kidding aside, sometimes it’s hard to believe that in a mere 10 years we’ve become a nation where the president’s spokesman can say “he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about and should shut his stupid mouth’ as a public statement about that same president’s former Secretary of State.
