Symptoms of pets ingesting toxins can be anything—includingaltered mentation, or any change in normal behavior, which can include excitability, anxiety, compulsive behavior, decreased consciousness, or apathy to their surroundings; drooling; seizures; tremors; weakness; excessive thirst; vomiting; or abnormal bleeding or bruising,” Rutter said. “Some toxins will have delayed onset of clinical signs, which means that the owner would not likely notice any changes in their petforupto10days.Insome cases, the delay is too late to prevent permanent organ damage.”

AsIamanightowlin the hospital, I was awake when the first news of the U.S. and Israeli strikes hit the headlines early on the 28th I had a growing feeling that as February progressed, that the ending timeframe of Operation DesertStorm,the1991First Gulf War, February 24th, my 25th birthday to 28th, could possibly intertwine with the launch of OperationEpicFury anditdid. I getthesepremonitions,like when the Desert Storm air warstartedinJanuary1991, and I had a strong feeling aboutthisconflict.

I know that President Trump ran for office on a policy of not sending American Troops into foreign wars, which is a noble endeavor, but situations change, and his aim for World Peace, for stopping conflicts across The World; for creating dialogues for peace. I like the Trump Big Stick attitude, which creates a righteous position for peace and the economic benefits, which have yet to becalculated,willreturnso much investment funds to Iran from the Diaspora acrossTheWorld,andquite possibly morethanlikelyin fact, will result in a reimigration of a percentageofthoseIraniancitizens driven out by the mullahs and student radicals in 1979. In2026,studentsare interestedinWesternideals, the complete opposite; a resultoftheIran-Iraqwarof 1980-1988, which eliminated many young men from their influence over the next generation, seeing as it's kinda hard to constantly radicalize the next generation if you are dead.

only invited the second excursion into Iraq and continued mideast unease. For the Iranian people it’s an 80-20 issue with only about 10% of the people supporting the old regime. As far as any insurgency is concerned, there is a possibility for it, but those whowishforafreecountry overpower those who want an oppressive regime I don’t doubt there will be incidents but as to the campaign launched by insurgentsinIraqfollowing PresidentGeorgeH.Bush’s war,therewillbeareduced amount of support for the enterprise.

Afew things that I’ve noticed in regards to Chinese and Russian made anti-air capabilities are, whereisit? Theonlylosses of American aircraft have beenfriendlyfireinstances, an issue that will be solved pretty quickly I’m getting from my contacts. It’s an issuethatisreallynotbeing talked about, primarily because American liberal networks don t want to boost Trump’s image, nor the American Service Member and of course not point out the superior trainingandequipmentthat theAmericanspossess.

President Donald Trump’s opening move, a great gift to The World when Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his team, probably over a skillet breakfast of Makhlama, a savory dish of eggs and tomatoes; met their end when their arrogance thought themselves safe fromAlliedbombsdropped inaGeneralEisenhowerDDayish move, doing the opposite of what The Iranian leaders expected The decapitation of the leaders was brilliant, and if you don’t like it, well, I don’t care. Cancers (and gallbladders) need to be cut-out, and you don’t play mister nice guy when dealing with an oppressive regime, especially one that has killed upwards of 40,000 of its own people since January Of course that is not generally reported amongst the CBS/CNN lot whose narrative is to shed a bad light over Trump’s leadership. Fortheliberalmedia, itisanothercontinuousloss to their credibility Even theAmerican Persians who areDemocrats,onceinvited on CNN, find Trump’s policies against the old regime generally positive.

Detractors of Trump will complain of the attack on the Iranian regime duringpeacetalksasafoul, but looking at how the Iranian regime’s ability to drag out talks, to continue the process yielding the samerhetoricoverandover thatIranwouldnotyieldits nuclear aspirations. Sorry, end the talks No nuke program definitely not managed amongst radicals. Trump’s political will is a major influence in putting together a coalition to countertheIranianradicals, and the promise of economic progress, by a safe passage of the Strait of Hormuz without having to cross in fear, is a big factor in a successful world economy

I soon thought of DesertStormafterTrump’s announcement, plus all the years in-between in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other

The feeling around how the war will progress, well, after a period of maybe one month or two, hopefullythehostilitieswill have ceased But that should not end the American commitment to the keeping of the peace President Bush’s dilemma after Operation Desert Storm,byallowingSaddam Husseintoremaininpower,

Then there is frustration from all Democrats and even some Republicans, those professional idiotswithmultipledegrees and not a lick of common sense, seeing they view the U S and Israel as the aggressors I find them mad, and probably constipated. Imean,whatwould you rather have, a free and Democratic Iran, or one with a radical leadership withanitchynucleartrigger finger? While I was in the hospital, the nurses would come to me wanting an understanding of what was goingonwiththewar,andit took a little while to explain,buttheygotit. I found that the ones that are not supportive of regime change in Iran also haveahatredforIsrael,and the U.S., and I’ve come to find out they are woefully uneducated in the happenings of the Middle East, whether they limit their sources of information by relying on one source who more than likely is flawed, and how the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 is relevant to Iranian borders today it’smissingthepoint that the Western powers want a free Iran, but don’t

want to carve the Mideast up like they did 110 years ago. I’mwillingtodiscuss theissuewithanyone,butif you are going to express anythingtome,thenplease have common sense about your rhetoric, and if you raiseyourvoiceatanypoint during the conservation, you’ve lost. I don’t have enough energy to raise my voice,it'sjustnotmystyle. And lastly, I want to pay homage to the American Service Members who have been killed or wounded in the Middle East. It is always a sad occasion to Remember Their Service, knowing theirfamilieswillnolonger be able to interact with them. Iknowthatmanyof us who served in Iraq or Afghanistan know exactly what is going on in the minds of The Troops currently serving in or near Persian waters, but it was timetopopthat47yearold mullahian pimple Iran s pustuled picture of Dorian Gray that needed to be destroyed The conflict will be remembered as one that gave Free and Fair Election to an oppressive peoples, as well as markets welcomed by the West and East, and a strait that is a true channel of commerce, notbeingheldhostagebyan aggressive Iran. To argue against that, boggles the mind.

Patience is gonna be neededtoallowtheprocess to play out. Following the cessation of hostilities, military positions can be relaxed to allow for the rotation of carrier battle groups, to let those sailors go home and be with their families,andinmanycases to see their newborn children with their own eyesforthefirsttime. This is a liquid situation, and things will constantly change hopefully for the better, but with President Trump’s oversight, I’m of the belief that free and fair elections can happen as soonaslatenextyear I’m praying for all American troops, and the safety of theirfamilies,aswellasthe leadership,whoseturnisup in their Defense of AmericanFreedom.
