Well, howdy there, internet people, it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about the U.S. firing at and seizing an Iranian ship.

Trump made an announcement Sunday afternoon that shows yet another escalation in his ongoing spiral with Iran.

It happening during a ceasefire isn't going to help bring about a peace deal and give Trump the

People are once again pointing to madman theory as a possible explanation for Trump's erratic
