Trump says he bombed Iran

[CriticalStinker]

I can't quite grasp how a nation where a lot of people cannot afford basic foodstuffs, rent/mortgages, or healthcare.

Can manage to find $200,000,000,000 for a war....not war. 

Especially, when they allegedly already won on the first day...

Even more fun, this needless war is started by a man who dodged the draft from another needless war. He’s forgiven by his base because it was a bad war.

The irony is thick and rich.

Oh, and he initially ran on reducing or eliminating the national debt. Now he’ll be the record holder for debt, with 1/3-1/2 of the nations debt happening under him depending on how the war goes.

So what you are actually saying is he is acting exactly like every other politician that has held the office of President of the United States.

Congratulation, you just confirmed he isn't an existential threat on any level, that in fact he is just as good as anyone else who has or will hold the office.

The hyper scared here are borderline certifiable, Im concerned, but it feels like a coalition is building, and so is the external and internal pressure.

This is an absolute banger… love this lady

? While President Trump was building a new diplomatic space with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan & Gulf States — UK, EU & NATO were NOT at the Table

Susan Kokinda delivered a sharp, historically grounded breakdown of a seismic shift in global diplomacy. President Trump is forging direct, back channel talks with Iran through a new regional "Board of Peace" — while the traditional Western players (UK, EU, NATO) are completely sidelined and increasingly powerless.

Kokinda frames this as the end of old empire-style leverage games, the weakening of Iran's proxy network, and a harsh reality check for Europe’s self-inflicted energy woes.

- Iran’s Proxies Are Crumbling Fast and the new architecture is already delivering tangible wins: Lebanon is moving against Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority is openly condemning Iran, and Hamas is reportedly considering disarmament. Kokinda highlights how these developments strip Iran of its leverage without needing direct U.S. military action. It’s a classic Trump move — use regional players who actually have skin in the game (and shared interests in stability) to squeeze the problem.

- No Oil, No Gas, No Seat: Europe’s Self-Made Energy Collapse. Why are the UK, EU, and NATO absent? Because their Green policies and anti-Russia sanctions have left them with absolutely ZERO leverage when it comes to Energy. Kokinda points to rushed LNG imports and a delayed vote on banning Russian oil as symptoms of desperation. Europe literally can’t sit at the table — it has no oil or gas cards to play. This isn’t just about the current talks; it’s the end of Europe’s ability to dictate terms in the Middle East or globally. The old British/EU financial and energy chokeholds (think City of London influence) are being dismantled in favor of American-led manufacturing, AI, and real energy security.

- With Europe and Britain stripped of leverage, the endless proxy war in Ukraine is losing steam, and fast. Zelenskyy is scrambling for last-ditch support in London and Washington as the “sponsor” (Western backing) fades. The regional focus on Iran de-escalation redirects attention and resources away from the Ukraine conflict, leaving Zelenskyy exposed. It’s a broader signal that the old globalist forever-war model is over.

- Kokinda connects this to Trump’s broader strategy: redirecting Gulf wealth (hundreds of billions) into U.S. manufacturing instead of London banks, promoting nuclear power and critical minerals, and rejecting “Kissinger-style managed conflict.” Iran reportedly gave Trump a “very big present” (likely tied to safe Hormuz Strait passage for oil/gas tankers) as a goodwill gesture.

This is the death of the one system (British/EU/NATO-dominated globalism) and the birth of another (transactional, reality-based regional deals).

Who here is "hyper scared"?

"Day 26 of the Hormuz blockade and the cracks are already showing everywhere: -

Sri Lanka: Rationing in full effect. Forced 4-day work weeks. Schools shut.

- Pakistan: Prices jumped overnight. Long fuel lines everywhere. 4-day week now mandatory.

- India: Down to just 9 days of reserves. Desperately hunting emergency shipments. - South Korea: Only 50 days left before real trouble.

- Japan: Publicly claimed 254 days… actual usable reserves sitting at 95 days.

- UK: Shell CEO warning shortages will start hitting in April.

- Germany & France: Gas prices up over 30% in the last 8 weeks. EU now launching emergency measures.

- South Africa: Officials claim it's "stable" while people post pictures of completely empty pumps

. - Turkey: Stock markets tanking, inflation going wild, currency getting crushed."

The Philippines has declared a state of national energy emergency -- the first country in the world to do so Seoul calls on people to take shorter showers, avoid charging phones at night Vietnam Airlines plans route cuts Some factories in India close due to fuel shortagesBangkok orders govt workers to lower aircon Sri Lanka declares all Wednesdays off to save energy

"“GLOBAL RECESSION” The man who manages $11 trillion just warned the world what’s going to happen if Trump doesn’t make a DEAL, now.

A total wipeout."

It's not Trump that's holding up a peace deal.

Iran is demanding that they get the Strait.   That's open international waters they are trying to claim as their own.   That's never going to happen.    And they are demanding to be paid for their war machine that got blown up.    That's laughable.   There is no 'dealing' with that.   It isn't serious  negotiations.   However, the deal that Trump put forward was indeed a serious deal.  The problem is that Iran is full of nutters.

We all knew that Iran was full of nutters yet Trump thought he could negotiate with them.

He hasn't thought this War through.

He is still raging at NATO for not helping him although he says he doesn't need them and it's nothing to do with them as a defensive pact as no NATO member has been attacked.

You have to wonder if he listens to his military advisors.

Allegedly, there were some talks going on
or there was talk of having talks
Then Trump decided to bomb them, anyway 

that probably didn't help the situation

You don't stop bombing while talks are going on.
When you stop bombing is when the talks are successful.
THAT is when a ceasefire happens ... not before.
Hitting hard during talks actually helps push the talks along.
It makes the other side want the bombing to stop.

[FlyersFan]

Agreed.   Seems to be winging it as things come up.
A case could be made that he is being flexible in the situation.
But honestly, it looks more like he's just throwing stuff against 
the wall to see what will stick.
