The US has been working on both exo-atmospheric kill and terminal area defence, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that they managed to score a kill on a single delivery vehicle mid-flight.
I was just thinking the same thing.
"Donald Trump" and "serious" don't belong in the same sentence, unless you're including other adjectives - eg. "Donald Trump is a serious embarrassement to the USA".
There's still 44 minutes until they open at the time I post this. However, Asian markets were open and US market futures were down a few percent - and jumped a few percent after the Truth Social post.
Trump posted just before 7.30am local time, so a couple of hours before Wall St opens. He knew *exactly* what he was doing.
As far as I know, Sir Keir has never actually changed his party allegiance. Churchill is not really the best example of constancy!
Purely coincidentally, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped over 1,000 points on opening (after his Truth Social post).

Quite apart from Trump already being known as a prolific liar and being suspected of corruption, people with dementia often suffer from confusion and say stuff that is not true or remember something from the past and confuse it with the current...The Iranians have said that claims of agreement at ongoing talks is "fake news".
Trump says Iran has 'one more chance at peace' as Tehran calls reports of US talks 'fake news'
The president earlier said he'd postponed strikes on Iranian power plants after talks, which the speaker of Iran's parliament denies took place.
This raises an interesting (well, to me) question as to whether threatening a war crime without carrying it out is itself a war crime - particularly if it gains concessions from the other side.
Indeed, here is another example of a recent clear-cut undeniable demonstrable lie, which even the MAGA fanatics couldn't possibly deny is either a blatant lie, and/or a sign of severe dementia:

There is simply no other explanation other than he is a serial liar, and/or has severe dementia. I personally am convinced he is both a serial liar and has severe dementia.
Me too, but I had both my grandmother and mother with "severe" dementia/Alzhiemer's and they were way worse than Trump is now - towards the end my mother could barely talk and certainly couldn't communicate. What Trump is I've no idea, I'm like you no medical professional other than the years caring for mum; to me Trump has mental frailty in that he cannot release himself from excessive narcissism with total lack of empathy. There is a condition, NPD - Narcissistic Personality Disorder which I think covers it + losing his faculties due to old age.Indeed, here is another example of a recent clear-cut undeniable demonstrable lie, which even the MAGA fanatics couldn't possibly deny is either a blatant lie, and/or a sign of severe dementia:
No Former President Praised Trump's Iran Strike As He Claims, Aides Say
Touting his strikes on Iran as a success, Trump claimed a former president confided to him that they wished they had done what he did.
There is simply no other explanation other than he is a serial liar, and/or has severe dementia. I personally am convinced he is both a serial liar and has severe dementia.
He is no longer able to realise what he can get away with lying about, without being 'found out'.
While I'm not in any way qualified to diagnose someone as having dementia, sadly I have enough experience with family members having the condition to be able to recognise the signs.

Remember who supplied the nukes!
I'm just going to pick up on one small part of that...er...answer that gives an indication of his mental state.
I think that description is fair enough, is don't think that describing the B-21 as a "super modern version" of the B2 is unreasonable for a non-specialist talking to non-specialist journalists
I've got no idea where 22 comes from! I know that sometimes defence procurement is split up into tranches, to make it fit more easily into the budget. Perhaps only 22 have been contracted at this point, with more to come in following years to reach the planned strength?
As I said - if this was my uncle who caught something on the news trying to explain this to me a couple of days later - then it would be completely understandable that he was a bit mixed up.
I also have a relative with steadily worsening dementia. The most dangerous phase is when they appear to be functioning reasonably normally but are masking a significant impairment, or others have either not recognised it or not acknowledged it. That is the most dangerous time - my relative had (and possibly caused) a fire - and could be where Trump is now. When they progress further it's obvious they are not capable of independent existence and are hopefully admitted to suitable care.
