A grim parallel between US escalating a trade war w/ China & realising that China has serious leverage in the form of rare earths & US launching a war vs Iran & realising Iran has serious leverage in the form of being able to blow up the world economy. Failure of statecraft.

Easier to raze Gaza to the ground than to bomb the Iranian leadership out of existence. Well played Bibi.

The US has never been invaded. The US has never been bombed. It has never experienced a direct threat, the sound of sirens, building and people being obliterated. For the US war is abstract, something it inflicts upon others, and here lies the flaw, it's sense of infallibility and immortality.

There are 3 vulnerable choke points regarding the sea transport of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, the entrance to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Baffling that this has never been addressed. Cheap oil and stable shipping created terrible incentives to do nothing.

Trump continues to threaten to cut off trade with Spain to “punish” them. But the U.S. runs a $4.8 billion trade SURPLUS with Spain. We are winning that deal. And Spain is in the EU, so you can’t just target Spain alone. This isn’t America First, it’s America Confused.
