Here's a recap of Trump's remarks on Saturday night, in which he threatened to strike Iranian power plants if Tehran does not "fully open" the strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.

Writing on Truth Social, Trump said:

If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!"

Wait, what?

Did he not say recently that the Strait of Hormuz would open itself?

@#1 ... aka The Rage Posting War ...

It is beginning to look more and more as if Pres Trump is acting as if he were boxed in a corner with few options.

So,he seems to be raging, not thinking.

Looks like Pfc Bone Spurs hasn't met a war crime he won't enthusiastically embrace.
Kind of like when he mindlessly and enthusiastically dry ""(starts with an "h," rhymes with "jumps") our flag.
Or skull flucks his MAGAt minions.

Graham to Trump: Consider removing US bases from countries who won't let us fly from them
thehill.com

Lindsey (girl's name) Graham is too dumb to realize that he is proposing we give Iran exactly what they want. Leaving.

Not that I don't agree. We have troops in the Middle East to provide stability and security so we can get cheap gas. And prop up Israel. We have failed at all of that, except doing Bibi's bidding. Iran knows it, and with enough pressure from Iran, countries are going to start politely telling us to kindly fuck off. Some might not be so kindly.

Everybody except Trump and his corrupt band of dipshits knew this would be a shitshow. And here we are.
