After spending billions of dollars, making us look weak and foolish to the rest of the world, fucking up supply lines and driving oil prices to historic highs. And the mid-term election is a smidgeon under 6 months away. Good luck spinning this one, MAGA.
You know? And these gas prices aren't going to disappear overnight. Inflation tends to be stubborn. And any fees Iran attaches to ships transiting the Strait will be passed on to consumers.
I think this is powerful evidence that there was no strategic objective to this war at all. This war happened only because Trump wanted it, and American miliary leadership lacked the spine to throw their commissions down as a gauntlet.
A policy disaster.
