This coalition could be our door out of this impending quagmire. Unfortunately, it’s a doggy door that will require us to crawl out on our hands and knees, and the price for slithering through (and I insult all honest reptiles in saying that) will to kill off what is left of the petrodollar.
Honestly though, it’s probably the best deal we’re gonna find.

E3 Sentry (~$250M). $700B is about half of the entire 2026 US Defense budget.
DOH! Typo, thanks for catching it. Now the one destroyed on the ground, is it the cheaper version or the expensive version?

The sooner the west realises the power to open the strait rests with Iran, not them, the sooner real progress might start.

Iran has given the United States a “tribute” of 20 oil tankers that are expected to begin crossing Monday morning through the Strait of Hormuz
Let me guess… enroute to China carrying oil paid for in Yuan?

Pretty damn delusional, much like his earlier “Strait of Trump” comment. Really beginning to wonder about this guy – and that’s even after discounting for the usual somewhat harmless bloviating we’ve all come to expect from him.

TACO is the only POTUS who could connect the Straight of Trump with the Gulf of America.

He’s also the only POTUS who can cut a deal with someone who’s been dead for 3 years.
