Donald Trump has insisted Iran must “open up the Strait of Trump” and complained about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in a meandering speech at the Future Investment Initiative Institute summit in Miami, Florida.

This is so pathetic. What an embarrassment.
Trump will be remembered for his many crimes and ethical bankruptcy. Inevitably after he’s gone, there will be no incentive to cover for him, and the incentive will be to blame him for the terrible state in which he will leave the US economy and international relations.
Anyone with a pulse knows that he is a child rapist. Anyone with above-room-temperature IQ knows that he was deeply involved in Epstein’s operation, acquiring, grooming, and warehousing girls. Any genuine investigation will produce evidence of that.
He’s also single-handedly destabilised the global economy. The trillions of dollars his dumb ideas have cost everyone in productivity are just breathtaking.
Operation Epstein Fury is probably the USA’s biggest and most costly unforced strategic error in history. The consequences will resound through the coming decades.
The culmination of this context is that he has accelerated China’s rise to dominance and the USA’s collapse into irrelevance. As an Australian, just 2 years ago I was keen for us to cosy up to the US in the hope that the yanks would help us push back on China’s expansion of influence in the region. Honestly, now I feel more comfortable with China than I do with the US.
It’s further evidence that the system is broken. Not only was this war started for no reason, but the system was so fucked that it allowed a degenerate criminal like Trump to rise to power in the first place.
I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords.
It’s for sure the biggest unforced error in US history, we won’t be able to be sure until everything shakes out but attacking Iran might be the biggest mistake in the history of geopolitics
I don’t know, the history of geopolitics is pretty huge…
That’s true, but I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that there’s a chance this conflict could escalate, and precipitate a global depression, at a time when mankind faces other disasters like climate change.
Like a global financial depression lasting a decade or more, some climate change tipping points, some food chain collapse, water shortages, increasing severity of storms and droughts.
All these things weren’t caused by this conflict but this conflict was an unnecessary burden at the worst possible time.
It’s true that “worst in the history of geopolitics” is a big declaration, but I think this is in that kind of magnitude.
I think “worst [anything] in the history of the world” is a bold and contentious statement, but mostly unnecessary and missing the point. There are plenty of major historical fuck ups to choose from.
Requesting the Mongol invaders to kill your enemies for you? You done fucked up.
Requesting Western Europe to send help defending the borders of Byzantium? You done fucked up.
Attacking the Danes bathing in the river because English women find them more attractive? You done fucked up.
Yeah, attacking Iran is a major fuck up. But I believe that categorically, superlatives are unnecessary in historiology.
Amen to that!
