Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”

Fascinante ver a muchísimos políticos/comentaristas de derechas apoyar a Trump de entrada porque "Irán malo, Trump bueno" y pedir que sus países se sumaran a ello, y ahora preguntarse por qué hizo tal locura sin tener un plan ni prever las catastróficas consecuencias que ha producido.

I really think Hesgeth believed Iran would get knocked out in the first round and there was no need to plan for everything that was obviously going to happen next, Israel knew better but kept that to itself, Trump was incurious and easy to persuade, and nobody in administration dared push back.

Trump ve que todo está muy calmado y tranquilo y bien y ha dicho, ¿y si vuelvo a amenazar con aranceles?

This looks like the mirror image of Liz Truss’s approval rating.

Es que no tiene pérdida. Está hablando de Ormuz y del follón que tiene montado, y de repente salta Alandete de la nada, "¿pero cuándo va a a hacer realidad la última amenaza random que soltó contra España?".

Aún estoy esperando el arancel extraordinario del 5% que prometió el año pasado.

Una de las cosas más divertidas de seguir las ruedas de prensa de Trump es que de vez en cuando se pone a cagarse en España y sabes que Alandete es el que le acaba de preguntar que cuándo va a castigar al pérfido Sánchez de una vez.

again, Trump's mission, though he doesn't know it, is to destroy the oil economy

Rusia ha vuelto a perder 400km2 de los que había logrado avanzar pasito a pasito en el último año a base de acumular unos 300.000 muertos y heridos en ese tiempo.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

so the new objective is basically to safely open the strait of hormuz, the strait that was open before they started this war for no reason

Es que tienen más miedo de perderse el TACO que de las consecuencias de la guerra en sí.

RMG still had Trump in positive territory (+1) in December, making it one of the most pro-Trump pollsters in the US (only beaten by clownish TRUMP+30 RED LANDSLIDE joke outfits), so that -6 is actually a pretty terrible number for them.

Hart had a -7 in December, so this is also a worsening.

So, not to actually answer this, but my favourite Iain Dale moment is still him exhibiting pride that the England team sang the national anthem whilst the Spanish refused to sing theirs, a sense of pride wounded only slightly by the Spanish anthem not having any lyrics.
