It's maddening that Trump and Trump only plunges the world into war and an energycrisis/recession. Also remember all those dumb Trump voters and supporters who brought him to power while it was clear what would happen...

Good to repeat, NATO has useful standards, processes and procedures which can transfer to a new alliance without the USA but including most European countries and Canada.

Rules of Engagement, adhering to international law, to your own constitution , has real advantages, that have nothing to do with idealism. Trump is throwing that all away and slowly but surely destroying US power and influence.

Nice map which explains that oilshortages will start in a few weeks, not everywhere, some parts of the world will be fine.

So Trump first creates the problem and now you can pay him for protection, in true Mafia style.

If the situation becomes dire, Putin could start with laying bombs in europe, for example at munitions factories, drone production facilities etc. If the attacks are only just a little bit deniable, Trump will not lift a finger, no art.5 NATO will be involved. I am wondering if people in Europe are mentally prepared for that.

The deranged US president who first could defeat Iran completely by himself now suddenly wants other countries to join a "team effort"...

I'm honestly worried Trump will sell out just about anyone or anything when he meets Xi, as long as it pads his pockets or lets him brag about a 'win'.

So if there is peace today, Hormuz will not be safe for the next six months. And peace is not even close. Governments have to adjust their scenarios if this estimate is correct. Flow of oil will be disrupted for a long time.

Clearing Strait of Hormuz of mines could take 6 months, Pentagon tells Congress
The Pentagon assessment, shared in a classified briefing for lawmakers, suggests gasoline and oil prices could remain elevated through the midterm elections.

The ceasefire between the USA and Iran is clearly over, so probably the next predictable step is another round of strikes by Israel and the US.

I am not sure whether blowing a hole in the engine room of a ship can be called a "ceasefire" 🤔

The cynical part is that when all possible targets in Iran are destroyed, Trump will declare victory, leave and let the rest of the world deal with the consequences and instability.

Smart move diplomatically by Iran, opening the strait of Hormuz, makes them look "in control" ,

It is terrible to see a large part of Lebanon getting "the Gaza treatment" and nobody is stopping Israel. Many innocent civilians are dying and good to remember, Lebanon is another country and not part of Israel....

With regard to Kharg Island I have no doubt the US can take this with a brilliant tactical operation with limited casualties, but holding it and achieving strategic objectives will be the hard part.

This is actually a real message from the president of the USA. I checked because it looked completely insane and criminal.

So Trump will probably make some kind of quick “peace deal” with Iran, pull back his forces and leave the Middle East and the rest of the world with the mess he has created. But also with the enormous damage to the world economy.

Good read, how Trump is setting himself up for failure.

Trump Still Doesn’t Understand Iran, Or the Mess He’s Made
His 48-hour ultimatum to Tehran reveals something deeper than bluster: a strategic failure to understand the adversary.
