Donald Trump has spent the first year of his second term. . .
. . . mocking. bullying, threatening and pissing on countries that used to be friends and allies of the United States. But what a surprise! Now that he has stupidly blundered into a war with Iran, the most powerful country in the middle east (except for our puppets in Israel) he finds himself shocked, shocked to discover that he has bitten off way more than he can chew, and Iran has compromised the entire world economic system by choking off a fifth of the world’s oil supply. Of course our Celebrity Apprentice President first made sure to shut down all the clean renewable energy possibilities in the U.S.: Solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, before poking the Persian snake by killing (as of today) 1,400 Iranians. Now he wants those former friends and allies to send their warships to the Strait of Hormuz to help him look like a victorious warlord, and he’s mad because they won’t do it.
But maybe the lesson he will learn from this — if he doesn’t get us all killed — is that we need friends and allies, and compromise and diplomacy is a better way to go than bullying and tariffing. Will he learn? All signs point to “Fat Chance.”
