Just like with everything else, his Art of the Deal leaves us with less than what we had before.

    Everything is a conspiracy when you’re dumb as rocks.

    The Iranians closed one of the most important trade routes for several months and then bombed US bases, destroyed aircraft, and deployed drones while holding position. They used a strategic advantage and decades of preparation to cow down a world empire.

    In a month we will be feeling this conflict even worse because of the delay in oil production - we’ve been drawing from established strategic supplies that we spent years filling and rotating - and having to buy in a world that’s producing less.

      Explain to me why you believe this in any way goes counter to what I wrote. Edited my previous comment, by the way.

      Let’s explore this together and see who truly hasn’t been looking at this further than a puddle’s depth, shall we?

        Thinking everything was manufactured by the US and Iran is ass backwards.

        Question: Who wants the US to go to war with Iran?

        Answer: Israel

        Israeli lobbyists ask American politicians to fight Iran for them and plenty of presidential candidates have stated that they would love to start a war with Iran, but they never do. Why?

        Once a candidate gets into office they get advised by the Joint Chiefs of Staff that Iran is in a fortified position and the military would be unable to invade.

        They get told that a war with Iran would disrupt global trade (and it has).

        They get told that Israel always asks us to go to war with Iran and that the United States wouldn’t get enough benefit from it.

        Trump is the first President to ever fall for Israel’s plot to send the US to war with Iran. That’s the conspiracy. Trump got played and he’s pissed at Israel. And the Israelis are mad that they didn’t get a ground invasion and are now trying to sabotage the peace negotiations.

          Screaming Israel over and over does not preclude coordination with Iran and Russia. These things are not mutually-exclusive. This should be abundantly obvious when all parties are lead by psychopaths, and when each and every single one benefit.

          This is what you’re missing in your obsession over Israel.

          Really quick - do you acknowledge Russia’ actions in Ukraine are illegal and morally wrong and unjustified?
