President Trump, Israel, and the Republican Party’s war on Iran continues to cripple the U.S. and world economy with no end in sight. While gas prices dipped through the weekend, I would expect them to set new highs later in the week as oil supplies continue to tighten, as we continue to increase our oil exports to other countries, and as Trump further draws down the strategic oil reserve to hide his **** up. It also appears that the president is now looking to suspend the federal gas tax to temporarily lower fuel prices. This just kicks the can further down the road. A temporary bandaid thats just adds to the national debt.
What he should do is immediately end the war, bring our troops home, and accept the new reality he unfortunately created. At this point, he’s likely going to end up with a worse deal than the JCPOA, Iran emerging as a new world power, and a catastrophic defeat for his party in the midterms. It was a massive strategic blunder to start the war without thoroughly understanding the consequences it would unleash and hopefully voters hold him and his party accountable for it in November. As has been said many times in this thread, the IRGC doesn’t care about the people of Iran. They will wait us out and collapse the world economy. They have nothing to lose and time is ticking for us.
Iran doesn’t even need a real nuclear weapon at this point. The Strait of Hormuz is an economic nuke they’ve now learned how to leverage and if you think they’re going to give that up, you’re a fool.
With such a terrible crisis unfolding, you would expect the president and his team to be laser focused on it, but they’re not. He doesn’t care about the people in this country. He never has. He cares about ballrooms. He cares about monuments. He cares about hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn for his birthday in the middle of election season. He cares about making himself and his family rich at the expense of the American people. And he won’t stop until he’s bled the people of this country dry.
