Trump can’t TACO out of the Iran war’s oil price shock | CNN Business

President Donald Trump has a sales pitch for Americans worried about high oil and gas prices: Rising fuel prices are a temporary but necessary sacrifice, and they will fall quickly back to earth once the war with Iran is done.

    He’s properly fucked the US and the world as a whole.

    The US has shown itself to be a paper tiger

    He started a war without consulting regional allies and against most of their wishes, except Israel

    Iran is the far superior power in the region and they simply will not surrender to the US-Israel slaughter

    Now Iran isn’t going to back off this colossal advantage unless the US pulls out of the ME entirely, which Trump is too chicken-shit to do.

    Even then, there’s zero garuntee Iran will reopen Hormuz.

      The US paper tiger? Come on, get real. I get what you’re saying that the US can’t control everything but the military being a paper tiger is a joke. They’ve proven their potency. Irans entire air force and navy was gone in less than 24 hrs. That’s not a paper tiger.

      Their strategy and beyond may be (is) flawed. But that’s far from a paper tiger situation. The US military is anything but a paper tiger.
