Trump could just detonate a few nukes underground in the right places in the UAE to make a new canal around the horn of the Musandam Peninsula and solve the problem peacefully. They could call it the Trump canal to stroke his ego. If oil prices are high, and the economy tanks, the Rats could take control of one or both Houses of Congress. Trump should have waited until after the midterms to kick over this hornets nest. Trump could get impeached a third time in January 2027.
It would be less work to make a canal through Oman on the Musandam Peninsula. They could make a mint from this.
“Rats could take control of one or both Houses of Congress.”
That was highly likely the day Trump was sworn in for the second time.
The wimpy Congressional Republicans were doomed to lose both the House and Senate before the first bomb was dropped.
“Trump should have waited until after the midterms to kick over this hornets nest.”
Yes, except we faced an “imminent threat,” so he couldn’t delay, remember? What that imminent threat was remains a secret to the American people, which undoubtedly has undermined public support for the war.
For W’s Iraq War, his administration worked hard both before and after hostilities began to rally domestic and international support. While the evidence of WMD proved to be less than 100% convincing, the effort paid off for a considerable duration.
The GOPe is doing all they can to make sure they lose.
