Things the Money for Trump’s Iran War Could Have Paid for That Aren’t … War

The administration has claimed it's all about cutting costs — except when it wants to start wars

Priorities, Donald, priorities 🙄

PS: midterms are coming up, in case you hadn't noticed?

I don’t care what excuse that fool uses to make it look like he won, I just want him to stop! That moron- it was bad enough when he was ruining his own country and not throwing all the rest of us under the bus. The only good thing about this war is even the Maga nutters are realising he’s bad for them. It all feels like such a bad movie script, to have such an obvious grifter and narcissist messing up the entire world and causing the downfall of the US. I’m too old for this crap.

Too bad that feeling hasn't percolated down to New Zealand's government yet.

The MAGA cult believes in two standards.

This is similar to their claims that if Democrats lost there would be riots, but Republicans would never do that. Cue 6th January 2021, and their "tourists" visiting Washington, D.C.

"These are really deranged people"

As the old saying goes Donny, it takes one to know one.

Trump might look to how Orban gets Hungary's crazy out to vote as guide for midterms.

The flailing around that Orban is doing to hold onto power in Hungary.
I gather most importantly that Orban's friends/oligarchs have control of local media?

J.D Vance as Thiels sock-puppet going to interfere with the election.
https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/vance-to-visit-hungary-ahead-of-tough-april-election-foreign-minister-says

""
The trip follows U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's trip to Budapest in February to publicly back Orban, who is grappling with a weak economy, an energy price shock and a rival seen as a viable alternative.
""
Trump endorsed Orban last month, calling him "a truly strong and powerful Leader" in a social media post and many on the American right consider him a model for Trump's tough immigration policies and support for Christian conservatism.
""

Not sure what sources would be the best to get a good view of the goings on in Hungary.

The whole fixation of the MAGA with autism is eerily similar to the nazi trying to isolate and kill people with mental problems.

God is a comedian.

The logic, insofar as there is any, goes like this: the war has crashed the global oil market so hard that the administration needs the enemy’s oil to keep gasoline prices from eating the midterms. They are unsanctioning the people they’re bombing because the bombing is working too well at the thing they didn’t want it to do. The sanctions were necessary to stop Iran funding the war, but the war made the sanctions too effective, so the sanctions had to be lifted to fund the war effort against the country that no longer needs sanctions because the oil revenues that sanctions were preventing are now required to prevent the economic damage caused by preventing those revenues, which is itself a consequence of the military campaign designed to make the sanctions unnecessary by making Iran the kind of country that doesn’t need sanctioning, which it would be, if the sanctions hadn’t been lifted to pay for making it that.

Whole thing is hilarious, sad and terrifying all at once. ... Because it's true.

SaltyNZ:

From article "God is a comedian.": "The United States is sending 5,000 Marines into the Persian Gulf to seize Kharg Island, a speck of land 15 miles off the Iranian coast that handles 90% of Iran’s oil exports. This is, on paper, a reasonable military objective in the same way that sticking your hand into a beehive is a reasonable way to acquire honey. It is technically correct. The bees would disagree."

The last U.S. Navy ship sunk by enemy action in combat was a submarine, during the final days of World War II, about 80 years ago.

I know this is obvious but ships are harder to attack when moving. Iran won't be surprised this time. I'm pretty sure a number of ships will be anchored near the Kharg Island, and drones only need to get lucky a few times.

An old Trump quote: “We are doing things that nobody thought possible… things that haven’t been done for many, many decades.”

ICE at USA Airports, truly USA does not want tourists, and tourism industry there set for more woe.
Does travel insurance cover treatment or death from gunshots from deranged ICE agents ?

I thought Trump had already done enough to reduce tourism and business travel. But, apparently not.

He's forever finding a new bottom of the barrel to scrape.

Partner going there in a fortnight to see family, I really hope those ICE thugs don't give her any grief 😠
