I'm not sure what any of these real-world concerns mean in the face of a president undermining peace talks AS THEY HAPPEN. To me, threatening bombing during peace negotiations simply indicates an unserious and unreliable man at the top. And no matter what else the United States has, our place in the world hinges on our current leadership. That's two years of certain distrust, and the Iranian negotiators will milk that for all its worth.
I expect that Trump will get nothing else done his entire term, other than scaring his opponents with criminal charges and lawsuits. You don't invade other countries when you haven't concluded the failing war yet.
Don't forget all the money he and his cronies made on the stock market with his constant lying one way or the other, causing the stock prices to rise and fall, while he was laughing all the way to the bank. THAT is his ultimate object in any deal. The grift never stops.
It does make you wonder who is behind these market capitulations to lies. It has to be people, right? I don't believe that whole economic sectors sigh in relief in the space of a few hours after a palliative lie.
This is an excellent article. Points out the worldwide ramification and possible outcomes from the current conflict. I think having more energy options and more supply chains/routes is an excellent result.
Why would any country not want that? You know, like ours? Finite resources don't give a damn about what one guy hates. And Donald Trump hates wind power because of his golf course view and because two smarter presidents favored renewables.
Trump has proven at least two things with this misguided war. First, he doesn't understand the Law of Unintended Consequences. Second, if he's good at one thing it's making China great again.
This seems like one of the better possible outcomes to Bibi and Don’s Excrement Adventure: America loses status and treasure but doesn’t sacrifice our armed forces to satisfy 47’s ego.
It’s missing one step though: take the keys from grandpa. Generations will pay for this ill planned debacle; we can’t afford to have this imbecile behind the steering wheel. 25th Amendment now.
Day by day, both our allies and our enemies must think less and less of us for electing this repellent and incompetent person to our highest office. I write here as a reminder that this war, along with the other brainless stunts he has pulled, was designed as a distraction from Epstein. I say this, because I see the Epstein files as the only way we could get people to see the truly awful thing these billionaires do when they think nobody is watching. And because I think it’s the only lever we will be able to use to get rid of this guy. Release the files!
There may actually be a hidden consequence that is not seen until ways down the road. This is a problem with someone like Trump who never gives any forethought to hidden truths.

“Give me a ‘P’!”
“P!”
“Give me an ‘O’!”
“O!”
“Give me an ‘S’!”
“S!”
“What’s that spell?”
“Trump!”
“What’s that spell?”
“Trump!”
“What’s that smell?”
“ Trump!”

Excellent summary. Much appreciated.
This was very well written. Thanks.
