The Republican strategy is to create disasters, Bush jr. had 2 wars and a economic "recession". How can someone be a Republican President without bombing several countries and trashing the economy.
AND IF Trump is finally successful, he will have finally achieved -- what Obama gave him as Trump started his first term: an Iran that's not trying to build nuclear weapons. That's not winning, Trump voters. It's a double-tap of losing. It's a dumb guy doing dumb things because he's stupid. Like you.
By the way, I hope we see y'all at the No Kings protests this weekend, in 3000 locations nationwide. Check https://nokings.org BEFORE Saturday so you won't miss your chance to be part of the largest protest since the 2003 protest of the Iraq War. (Sound familiar?)
the war wasnt started in order for the unites to win, it was started to ensure the oligarchs win. they'll run the prices of everything up and be the only ppl that can afford it. they are actively trying to kill you.
Meanwhile, much of Asia is rationing fuel and natural gas, and shortening work weeks to get through this, because they got nearly all their energy through the strait. This includes Egypt, Kenya, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, Vietnam, and South Korea. We've barely started the 2nd year of this 4-year trashfire. And at this point, I don't think he & his cabinet even care about their own party anymore, just their historic grift.
Unlike Hunter Biden, who was an accomplished lawyer before he took a job in a Ukrainian energy corp, the tRump boy had no relevant experience or qualifications.
All while trying to negotiate the same terms that Obama already had them agreed to that he canceled during his first term in office all because it had Obamas signature on it.
No sanction on Russian or Iranian oil and Chinese ships are allowed to pass freely. The strait appears to only be blocked for some specific countries (i.e. the U.S. and its allies).
The US still has allies? Not too many folks in Canada consider the US to be an ally. Think about that...the storied longest open-border in the world, who has been there to help the US in dark days, we are NOT an ally any more.
In addition even once relations are repaired, the world will always be extra cautious of the US because if we could elect someone like trump twice...what's stopping us from doing something stupid again in the future?
I'm not sure that we non-Americans will EVER trust the US as a country again. The MAGA movement, Trump, the excessive bowing to Israel...not a good friend to have, really.
Iran is now letting Spanish ships through because they refused to let the U.S. use their bases but it would seem that the rest of NATO hasn't taken such an obvious stand yet.

Trump's daily briefings on Iran are two-minute videos of airstrikes from the previous 48 hours: https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/trump-gets-iran-war-briefings-through-strike-video-montages-u-s-officials-say-260043845527 He "doesn't understand" why he isn't getting a war bump, and thinks if people saw what he did, his approvals would be higher. We're being led by a toddler.

Don't forget he is also purchasing from Russia again as well

He didn't write the art of the deal. You think that man can write?

Oh, we're great SOMETHINGS, alright....
witheredspoon
Don't forget about losing the respect of every other nation on earth and simping to Israel to bomb school children.
jasondeslin
The respect bit happened when he was elected the 1st time, and Israel has been bombing children for years. Both predate the timeline in the post.
clonedeeznuts
Don't forget he made Barren rich through predictive market precisely timed bets
HerdOfPotatoes
Raised prices not only for the US, but I am not surprised that Americans don't give a f about the rest of the world.
ElvenLibrarian2
Netanyahu wanted all this, Trump is just his servant, and he will win even more as nobody seems to realize Israel controls he US
DCon101
And he eased sanctions on Russian oil allowing putin to have more money to wage war against Ukraine
dcmirepoix2350
Don’t forget Russia getting lots more money to bomb Ukraine

Sure, a great danger to world peace and stability.

“Raised prices for Americans”.
Ah America, thinking it’s the only place in the world once again. What a shock.

Strait. It’s a strait.

Trump didn't write the Art of the Deal any more than he was working as a steeplejack when they built Trump Tower.

The only kind of jack he is, is ass.

And nobody is talking about how this situation is why we should be working away from oil dependence.

If we are going to mention legal and illegal, should mention Iran illegally closed the straight of Hormuz just to be consistent.
Raventhief
You're forgetting the bit where his son became major shareholder in a company that makes military drones days before the attack.

Blatant nepotism & corruption.
borocanuck
That's the family grift? The best deals ever.
duktayp
The strait was open before he started bombing, BTW... Now he's spending 2 billion dollars a day trying to open it back up again
xj4low
All while trying to negotiate the same terms that Obama already had them agreed to that he canceled during his first term in office all because it had Obamas signature on it.
Appollon
That 2 billion has the money that I was forced to pay in taxes. I did not authorize this use of my funds.
Fishy820
*we, you and me are spending!

We’re so close to insurance and education for all, just one more war to stop all the wars

And then he'll blame it on Biden/dems/liberals/trans/etc

Those with official treaties and pacts. If other nations broke ties officially and denounced the US they'd get oil.

"Yet" being the operative word. It's probably going to be happening more.
ourari
UK did, at first, but relented.
lifeisadadjoke
Not too many Canadian ships going through there so it's hard to tell how they feel about us. We already have our oil.
haggerton
Carney openly voiced support for bombing Iran so you can take a wild guess as to their feelings about us.
lifeisadadjoke
He recanted.
