@#4 ... Its only going to get worse ...

Well, now with the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia, and Turkey saying that the Mecca defense agreement is in effect...

Yeah, Pres Trump's Middle East Fiasco has the distinct possibility of getting worse.

Has he found that exit ramp yet?

Please define "global pain."

Before Pres Trump's whimsical war against Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was wide open to any and all shipping.

Now there is a global energy crisis because of Pres Trump.

So, please explain how Iran has been causing global pain for over 47 years.

thx.
