No he is correct. Starting this war with Iran was never in US interests and the consequences of this war will be catastrophic for US global interests as a whole. Iran has basically kicked us out of the Gulf. The Gulf states are asking us where is the protection you promised us? Hell we couldn’t even protect our own bases in the Gulf. Trump has put Israel’s interests above the US which in my book makes him a traitor. The petrodollar is all but gone and things are not looking good for the West. So when the Dems assume power after the midterms and go after Trump I won’t be lifting a finger to defend him.

What color is the sky in the world where you live? Is there more than one sun?
“when the Dems assume power after the midterms and go after Trump I won’t be lifting a finger to defend him.”
Then who WILL you support? Or will you just wait for the democrats to destroy your life and the lives of your children?

Congress could authorize Trump to use $1 billion to buy tankers stranded in the Gulf, fill them with crude, and have US Navy sailors run them through the Strait (or send them through by remote control or autopilot). A helicopter could be on each tanker in transit in case the crew needs to come off.
Congress could authorize Trump to have another 60 days if:
1. any US vessel is attacked while passing through the the international waters of the Persian Gulf or the waters of Kuwait, Saudia Arabia, the UAE or Oman,
2. an Iranian vessel, missile or torpedo enters the waters or airspace claimed by Kuwait, Saudia Arabia, the UAE or Oman within four miles of a US vessel,
3. an Iranian vessel fails to promptly and harmlessly sail to Iranian coastal waters when signaled by US military flare.
The US tankers are unlikely to be attacked. Does anybody here think Iranian thugs want Trump to have another 60 days to whack them?
There is a way to drop oil and gas prices fast.
