Has anyone said thank you to Trump yet?
Yes, the Iranian diaspora that has favored the end of the Carter Mistake. And Americans old enough to recall Carter’s disastrous loss of Iran.

I think that Trump has given Iran effective tactical control over 20% of the world's energy supply. It's highly likely that they will use this to get their country back on it's economic feet, definitely get the nuclear program finished, and force the end of the PetroDollar in the process.

The appetite for the "boots on the ground" among the US public is almost zero. I doubt that even a large false flag would work at this point.

The hardest part of Trump's 2 week war is going to be the first six years.

At least we know what was the topic of conversation between Trump and Putin in the presidential limousine in Alaska. "Vlad tell me more about that concept of special operation". At that point western world was still deluded it's some kind of sophisticated strategy to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
security should be built on domestic strength, specifically by securing our power grid and reducing global oil dependence. We have the technology, tools, solar, wind, advanced battery storage, nuclear power to make this happen. We have the wrong people in place to make this happen.
You sound like a Chinese. America should be doing the same, except we elected Trump who decided doubling down on oil and Middle East problems was a better way to move forward to 1950.
You could also say that US finally finished with subsidizing Europe's and other allies lavish lifestyle... (via cheap oil and open trade routes).

No more cheap vacations abroad, cheap food, cheap goods from far away..

I bet we will see $400 oil...

The Q is does this accelerate solar and wind, or just makes life more miserable for everyone and we’re back to the same next election.

US falling behind China. There’s a good possibility trillions allocated in datacenter buildout was misallocation of capital by markets.
