US Politics Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

NATO is a defensive alliance.
Netanyahu and Trump decided to set the middle east on fire without a plan or consultation and it is up to them and them alone to work out how to put that fire out.

The only thing pissing me off is him trying to threaten and blackmail us and other nations into joining in something he started unilaterally on Netanyahus say so without apparently understanding or anticipating the wider consequences, because now he needs help. 

As for how well it’s going, who knows. I don’t believe basically a word either side says about it.

The US don't learn. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran, The " Regime change" could only be done the minority Kurds which would about as palatable with the Iranians as would be with the Brits if we had a minorities regime change , The Shah of Iran was a dictator There is no democracy in that region Kings or Emirs for a reason look at what happened when Saddam got "Regime changed" ISIS got hold of some oil and the money that goes with

Iran have motorboats and jet skis with passengers carrying RPGs firing at ships they can permanently hold up ships the straits of Hormuz until such time the bombings and missiles stop

This is Trump's fuck up and he should own it without endangering any other nation's armed forces.
It is within his power, I hope,.to stop it before it gets any worse.
This whole thing, plainly, has not been thought through at all.and USA has is being lead by the nose by Benjamin Netayahu and his radical cronies.
Agree. I think he’d just walk away today leaving a horrific mess for the whole region to clean up claiming a victory if he could, however hollow and phyrric, but he can’t do it until his master tells him he can.

Sadly for the USA the level of stupidity of its President grows day by day week by week.

The situation that presents in the Persian Gulf is the obvious example of this stupidity.

Trump is acting more like Frank Spencer than Forrest Gump in that the hapless Gump managed to make things overall better compared to the never quite clever enough Spencer leaving a trail of devastation.

Trump can end this farago in the blink of an eye but he won’t until Bibi gives him the go ahead. Instead of urging Tankers to grow some and try transiting the Straight of Hormuz Trump needs to put his big boy pants on and strike a deal, it’s what he delusionally prides himself on, but that won’t happen until Israel meets its own objectives.

As for the many countries that Trump has denigrated and disrespected they should leave Trump hoisted by his own petard.

Lets not make this personal, The UK , France, China, South Korea and Japan have not responded with any actions to the US  request to assist them to allow the free passage of merchant ships through the straights of Hormuz

In so many words Iran want a deal but the US are not ready
