Trump's New War, Day 3 - Ongoing Incoherence, Rising Oil Prices, Global Chaos, And Oops! We Are Already Sending In

Additional Troops

Hopium Chronicles By Simon Rosenberg

Greetings everyone. I think we have to grow comfortable now with the reality that Trump may not have completely thought through his attack on Iran, didn’t take the steps required to make success more likely, and/or somehow dismissed the risks, focusing only on the imagined rewards. That he just woke up last Friday, ailing and old, desperate and scared, flailing and failing, got some “encouraging” intel, checked with Jared, put on his crown, chomped on a Big Mac, called Raisin’ Caine, and told him to go for it baby!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump didn’t build an international coalition to create legitimacy. Didn’t prepare the American people for war. Didn’t consult with or get Congress’ approval - as is required by US law and the Constitution. Didn’t spend months building up stockpiles of weapons for a protracted conflict. Didn’t help his business partners in the Middle East prepare for potential Iranian retaliation. Didn’t prepare his own party for what happens if oil prices spike, inflation surges, the markets fall, our planes get shot shot down, and dead Americans keep coming home.

And here we are…….

It was clear in those heady days after kidnapping Maduro he and the regime believed that they had found a way to make this terrible man STRONG and MIGHTY again. Like a young boy telling his parents that he can fly, watch! Trump went to the NYT to announce himself a monarch, no longer bound by anything but “his own mind.” The Hand of the new Iron Throne, Stephen Miller, went on cable news to proclaim the dawn of a new era of Trumpian POWER and MIGHT. They were heady days indeed, those early days of January, and the next target came into view - Greenland.

This is a war of choice. It's been a while since the last one, so here we go again.
