    Man I sometimes have dreams that everyone suddenly realizes Trump is senile, is removed from office, the US apologizes for what he’s done, pays everything back, presses undo on everything.
    Its not too late. Undo America!

    This reveals how piss poor the planning was the lack of concern for the dead and wounded. Life is cheap under the MAGA fucks.

    “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,” said Trump. “We were the number one producer anywhere in the world times two by double, at least double. Now I think it’s much higher than that. But we do it. It’s almost like we do it for habit, but we also do it for some very good allies that we have in the Middle East.”

    That does not at all sound like a “probably we shouldn’t be there” statement. It reads more like “some say we shouldn’t but we do it anyways because …”

    Like he outright states he’s doing it for Israel and because Israel asked him to and somehow convinced him. He’s not backing down. That’s not what he’s saying there.

      I also read it about being a reframing as being a helpful friend and claiming not to have any self-interest

      Though it does give him an out to move the troops to Cuba at his whims.

    Watch him claim letter on that he doesn’t know why they’re in Iran because he never gave the orders to do that. It must have been Hegseth.

      People care about 200$ oil prices more than the Epstein files. It’s an unbelievably dumb move. It’s only March but it will take time for prices to go down because they’re going to be capping wells now and some of them won’t be restarted, if they don’t end this soon. And fertilizer has to be used for spring crops.

      Bloomberg has regular interviews with analysts for giant investment firms. They had one who specializes in government debt. She said she talks to the people who work the front office for politicians. The Iran war and affordability come up regularly but the number one question they get is about the Epstein files.
