    Not to mention the fact that this gave Iran the perfect opportunity to test out their theory on whether or not they could control the strait of Hormuz. Until this year it had only been a crackpot idea in their military circles. Now it’s official policy for that country.

    So, thanks Trump.

      Also
      - less oil is traded in USA dollars,
      - the USA national debt reached highs that just beg for a rating downgrade,
      - quite a few NATO allies now see buying USA weapons as a liability,
      - the stock market atm is just AI (I mean that as a big volatility factor at an inopportune moment),
      - China publicly gave 0 fucks about USA’s shenanigans & the USA was forced to ignore it,
      - and public opinion is now finally switching against USA companies.

      Maybe the USA will have a crisis the will be the perfect moment for a coup. By the existing rulers. So not under new management.
