Anyone want to mock up a Hunger Games type salute to Trump's cabinet members who keep dropping like flies? I'm guessing Patel is next to go. Maybe Hegseth after that? Especially if Iran keeps going wrong. He'll be the sacrificial lamb.
If we leave Europe to handle the strait of Hormuz fiasco, they could acquiesce to Iran and Iran will end up stronger than they are now and in control of 20% of the world's oil. Let's hope that the US and Europe are thinking about that. We have to finish or Europe has to join now.
Iran thinks it can out-wait Trump. That's correct. Unfortunately for them Trump won't simply wait for an agreement. He'll eventually get frustrated, feel backed in a corner and will bomb them repeatedly. Iran is overplaying their hand. Bad move.
Oh Lord! Trump critizes Obama for giving back Iran their own money held by the US, yet he's NOW providing Iran with tons of new money by letting them (and Russia) ship their oil. 90% of Iran's oil is sold to China. So he's helping China, Russia, and the Iranian regime. Unbelievable!
A government employee who asks for identification based on witnessing illegal activity is a government agent. A government employee who asks for identification based on skin color is a Nazi.
It is astoundingly sad that we're so in the oil companys' pockets we'd rather fight wars and kill our environment than utilize the battery and green energy that already exists. Like always, we'll wait until there's no choice and then to green.
Imagine if this war continues to destroy oil production and oil shipping and Trump inadvertently spikes the production and future use of green energy? Oh irony!
