“Iran war to last into June, CBA analyst says
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s top geopolitical strategist has warned that the Middle East conflict is likely to last “at least into June”, saying Donald Trump will not be able to unilaterally extract himself from his war on Iran.
Madison Cartright said we shouldn’t hope for a repeat of the Taco trade (or “Trump Always Chickens Out”) that had been a feature of his coercive trade policies.
Tariff policy was the prerogative of the president. But he cannot unilaterally decide when to end the war with Iran.”

Wrong. They closed their eyes and ears to the truth because Truth had already shown the type of person he was in his first term. It is not like they did not know everything that came out of that man's mouth was a lie. Give me a freaking break. Nobody with an IQ over 50 knew that he could not stop a war in Ukraine and Israel on the first day of his presidency. During his first term, he actually increased our troop military presence in the Persian Gulf, not including the military strikes in Mexico. And know this is not a both-sides issue. What other POTUS ran on the BS of no new wars? Obama ran on getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan, not on not starting new wars, so before you get ready to lie on him, don't. Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and Biden certainly did not run with that slogan, only Trump. Like I originally wrote, Arizonians and others voted for this when they voted for Trump and disregarded all his lies and prior 'ef up and near bankruptcy of the federal government. This time around he just might succeed and put the federal government in the column with all the companies he previously bankrupted, but walked away, leaving others to clean up his mess.
Geez Louise,
You really need to use paragraphs if you’re going to call other people dumb in a rambling screed.
You weren’t aware that GWB won the election in part because of his criticism of Clinton’s conflicts in Serbia and Somalia? Then he gave us two forever wars. Then Obama criticized that but gave us Syria and Libya.
And it’s not even a recent thing. Jackson-Reed won reelection by keeping us out of The Great War, then promptly got us in once he won.
The American people almost always vote for peace, but we always get war. That’s a system problem not a Trump problem.
Equating Syria or Libya with what Trump is doing in Iran is just an apple to potato comparison.

Just saying the world’s economy is breaking now. The supply and trade system takes 3-4 weeks under good normal conditions to deliver oil and oil derivatives. If The Bab-el-Mandeb is closed it will be over. We will be is a world wide depression.
+1 The Suez Canal cannot handle the big oil tankers. We need to go to EVs and solar bigly.
Gee, I wonder which country benefits from such a surge in oil prices that demand for EVs and solar skyrockets?
It’s as if Trump is working on behalf of China….

I guess the plan is to inflict as much pain on the world and let Putin sit at the top of the pyramid.

And apparently if Trump's intention was to use this to create a coalition against Iran that also seems to be failing.

EVs are selling like crazy in Australia. Some showrooms are so busy that they ask customers who are not buying today to come back later. They are so busy they can only handle people buying today.

Which makes sense to me. Why should we control that?
Iran is letting some ships go through that are not associated with helping the enemy (us). Which is good!
Still not nearly enough.
