Iran should offer to open the strait in exchange for the USA handing over trump and his sons
That’s an incredible deal for shareholder value.
How to win at war:
- Start negotiating with foe
- Bomb foe during negotiations
- Declare victory, tell friends to fuck off
- ?
- Beg friends for help, because you have lost both tactical and strategic control of the situation. Threaten partners for not helping.
Threaten partners for not helping.
Threaten partners with tariffs. The same thing you’ve been slapping them with for absolutely no reason since you came into office. The same things that these partners now just expect to have to deal with when your mood changes. The same thing that courts have decided are illegal and that you can’t actually enforce.
He also threatened to invade some of us.
And that was before the Strait of Hormuz situation.
He can’t convince former allies to help out of goodwill and solidarity because he’s done everything possible to destroy that goodwill since he came into office.
He also can’t convince them to help out of fear of the consequences either, because he has already imposed those consequences.
In addition, even if he had a threat or a reward that was meaningful, the one thing that’s clear about Trump is that he never keeps his word. He doesn’t even adhere to treaties that are legally binding. So, if he promised something extremely valuable, he probably wouldn’t deliver. OTOH, if he threatened something extremely dire, he would probably chicken out.
But what if the foe is really the Epstein files?
“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all, because we don’t need it. We have a lot of oil.”
-Trump 3 weeks into the war he decided to do
More like it.
USA USA USA USA USA. Désillusion is crazy.
Québécois spotté, préparons la chasse-galerie pour envahir l’Iran!
I think it’s more NATO get yer fuckin act together. We don’t even need this oil you do.
This had to be done, so help police this straight now that the war is done, because if you can’t defend an asset you can’t own it.
This is governance 101 and if you don’t have a monopoly on power you definitionally are not a government.
