Well, they weren't abiding by it anyway, so now they just acknowledge what they've been doing all along.

France must be quivering in their boots.

My understanding is that they were mostly complying with the terms until this summer.

Trump responds with another taxpayer funded golf weekend at his resort in Florida, tweeting about the impeachment witch hunt.

Maybe that's his best move. Let the rest of the world concern themselves with those maniacs.

The last time Trump responded to a threat to US interests it was not received well at home.

Golf, it is ...

Apparently Mike Pompeo has been pushing for Trump to assassinate Soleimani for months. Interesting too that the source says this never would have happened when Mattis was SecDef (Esper and Pompeo were West Point classmates).

And here's Trump to reporter as he arrived back in DC. He doubled down on cultural, civilian sites being legitimate targets for airstrikes

BTW, Pompeo claimed just this morning that Trump never said anything about targeting cultural sites
