WSJ ^ | 4/13.24 | Vivian Salama and Alex Leary

Former President Donald Trump took to his social-media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday as news emerged of Iranian drones headed for Israel. Trump said an attack on Israel wouldn't have occurred if he were president.

“ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK! This should never have been allowed to happen - This would NEVER have happened if I were President!” Trump wrote hours before a political rally in Schnecksville, Pa.

The media is going nuts, that Trump was correct. Iran released the hostages minutes after Reagan took the oath of office, peace through strength.

I agree with him. It was pretty peaceful during his time.

He’s right.

Iran was BROKE, under RPOTUS Trump.

They couldn’t afford it.

Under the Trump presidency, Putin was crying for global production cuts and iran was on skid row.

In 2013 oil spiked to $140 or something, Putin invaded Crimea in 2014.

On January 28th, 2021 Biden energy policy via EO resulted in doubling fuel costs. In 2022, Putin invades Ukraine and 2023 Iran attacks Israel.

This is not new. For my entire life, Dems jack up oil, enriching the malcontents to malcontent.

Very true! They would not have had the money to do what they are doing, under PDJT.

Both Hussein Oboogaloo and PedoJoe Bite-me gave the Iranians $billions, which they are using to attack their ‘great satan’ and ‘little satan’. Thanks, demonrats!

In 2019, President was Trump.
Headline:
Trump says he aborted retaliatory strike to spare Iranian lives.
He said the lives of an expected 150 Iranians would not be a proportionate response to the Iranian shooting down of a US spy drone off the Iranian coast 24 hours earlier.
Jun 21, 2019

Note: Iranians did not pat Trump on the back for sparing their lives.

A Marine who was stationed at the White House during Trump's Presidency was asked how he felt about President Trump.

He said, "My friends felt safe, and our enemies were afraid".

No, it likely would not have.

Nor would this conflict in Ukraine be occurring either.

The world is on fire.

First of all I can't try to "own a thread" because my usual hamhanded typos and memory failures would ruin it.

Jan 3 of 3020 hasn't arrived yet.

How does someone become a neocon? Does it mean wanting to go to war?

I think I'm a reactionary. "rightist. standpat. stick-in-the-mud. Tory. traditionalist." "favoring reaction, especially extreme conservatism or rightism in politics; opposing political or social change."

Not true at all. We benefited greatly from a KSA and Russia oil price war in 2020.

It is 1000% true.

The world was closed in 2020, oil closed at under $0/bbl in April 2029.

Just search Putin global oil production cuts 2017 or 2018 etc...

This was after he funded the fracking bans here previously.

They started their tit for tat before April. They massively primed production leading into April, so Covid only sped up the already dynamic of pricing. Some of Russia's attitude was the sanctions by Trump in Feb of 2020. We befitted greatly from their massive pump leading into April

2020 Russia–Saudi Arabia oil price war
