* The "Vietnam quagmire" refers to the U.S. entanglement in a prolonged, unwinnable war, characterized by incremental escalations, faulty intelligence, and an inability to exit without losing credibility. { Trump's Iran War, is the Strait of Hormuz "Quagmire". } * bsky.app/profile/carl...

Trump involves America in a quagmire, Entanglement in a needless Israeli sponsored Iran War, closing off the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off 20% of the global oil supply that will in time cause a global economic recession, & now Trump whining NATO will not solve problem created by Israel & Trump.

Huh huh, so in other words the convicted orange feckless dink has nothing and why would he when this entire fiasco is nothing but a deliberate deflection from the Epstein files and god-knows what other crimes he's committing in plain sight with no accountability whatsoever, sighs.

So, Vance needs Trump in office until July 20. If they call article #25, Trump gets 6 weeks to prove he’s fit sooo. Mid June? They call #25? Vance better be real careful who he makes VP. Real careful.

It’s getting more & more like Russia here, Vance might become a bunker rat like Putin. He’s afraid of his own cabinet about now.

Just like the "pause" in Korea? Vietnam? Iraq? Afghanistan? Mission accomplished asshole. $50 billion, destruction all over the middle East, Iran in charge of the strait and self-imposed inflation.

There's something deeply disturbing (or should I say disturbed) about someone who routinely capitalizes words that aren't proper nouns. It's almost like those movie psycho terrorists who send ransom notes using words cut out and pasted together from tabloid newspaper headlines.

Thank you for flagging this. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz hit global oil supply, but for millions relying on affordable fuel and goods, this isn’t just strategy—it’s dinner on the table or not.

He is so full of it. Iran rules the strait. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Per state media, Iran has rolled out a new system requiring ships to obtain authorization before transiting the strait. Vessels will receive an email from the Persian Gulf Strait Authority outlining transit requirements. Ships that comply can then be granted a transit permit and pay fees to pass.

When is the next time he gets another 60 days? The corporations lost ground in the Middle Eash and we lost more service men and women than they're telling us.

The reason why Trump had to TACE his incompetent plan to re-open the Strait of Hormuz because Saudi Arabia suspended U.S. access to its bases and airspace. Of course, nor he or his administration will admit this failure. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

I’m thinking it was more like the other ships to be “escorted” through the strait were like: “nah we’re good staying here for a while but, we’ll call you if we change our mind”

Groundhog Day 2 opens Friday today in theaters. The story follows a reporter stationed in Oman overlooking the Strait of Hormuz, where every single morning for months he wakes up to deliver the exact same update: “The ceasefire is holding. Pakistani mediators expect a one-page peace agreement soon.

After a month of tense negotiations, Iran has finally agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz… in exchange for the full release of the Epstein files. Apparently the Iranians want to know who was on that list.

Wait, so we had started escorting ships through the straight again and now we are going to pause said movement in hopes of an agreement that probably won't happen. Do I have that right?

When will you, the US people, stop this insane fars? The only thing achieved by letting this maniac continue is, that you will be even more isolated in your selfconstructed bubble, nobody will have anything to do with you and you will be hated wherever you go in the sane part (the rest of) the world

And the Republicans in Congress are demonstrating their lack of respect for the law, for their constituents- they seem to have the belief that the American people are either stupid or blind to the truth about the long term consequences because of their actions.

Ah damn. I thought that was really going to do the trick. Well I guess I will remain troubled until just before the markets open and the newest proclamation of peace is declared to try and bring down crude prices.

Lie...make shit up...lie some more. Make more shit up...forget the story you were told to repeat (because... dementia) so...regurgitate stuff you were told to repeat but got it all wrong, lie some more, get angry and get combative. Call people names, rant then lie some more. Rinse and repeat. Got it

Trump's plan is like playing ping pong; it changes every minute. So incompetent & worst President ever. But this is what you get when you elect a seven-time bankrupt, failed businessman, and 34-count convicted felon for fraud & adjudicated sexual predator.
