What do you guys think, is this hubris?

I am very concerned about the abundance of consequences coming from this. The world barely has recovered a bit from covid, although supply chains are still reeling.

It's just a matter of time before Trump sends ground troops in.

I think so too. Trump and Hegseth will escalate before they admit strategic failure.

Trump has never recieved real consequences for his actions in his entire life. He doesn't know how to deal with it, so he's going to double down.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Just like with the report on intelligence, I am sure Trump would just say that we supplied arms to Ukraine, so it doesn't matter.

Hasn't Trump already said that the war will only end by unconditional surrender? Will Congress go along with such a surrender without a full occupation of at least the continental US by Iran?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

On Fox he said he'd "feel it in his bones" if the war is done.

I do wonder if this whole mess will accelerate the move towards renewables.

We are accelerating toward global conflict.

No.
It is sheer fucking hubris.
Combined with absolute idiocy.

It probably will. Nuclear too.
The oil crises of the 70s did lead to tech that was more efficient.

That said: trees are renewable too and we might end up there as well

Tamas

Trump has asked for allied help to keep Hormuz open. I fully expect him to declare victory, pack up his forces and go home once an international force js there, leaving them to sort his mess out
