Epic fury is slowly beoming Epic Fuck up

Last edited Sat Mar 14, 2026, 03:01 PM - Edit history (1)

Trump has now triggered a global problem by sticking his nose where it didn't belong with the Iran war. All these unnecessary price hikes(IE: Gas was 2.59, is now 3.29), innocent people being killed, destroying and losing billions in hardware(aviation fuel planes, tankers in the gulf, etc), nearby country's being attacked. I can go on and on.

No one asked for this, yet here we stand with a global mess caused by an extreme narcissistic con man. And his answer is I'll finish the war when I feel like it? He uses Bannon, Kushner for advice, instead of talking to the powers that be. Not to mention how much money has been spent to date. So far, this entire farce is not going well. This whole thing has become an Epic fuckup.

And people are still asking "why" and getting no answers. It's almost like a make believe video game, gone bad.

You can't accurately say that no one asked for this. TSF's every move in the Middle East benefits Putin from every perspective and Pootie and TSF have been consorting a lot lately. Clearly Putin DID ask for this.

Oil companies, commodity traders, arms dealers/manufacturers;and lots of other sectors where the super wealthy send their money have (or will) see massive profits as well. People who are Trump allies, domestic and foreign, will benefit bigly. Prices will rise across the consumer economy too, if this keeps going. Those increases won't just be proportional to increased costs, they never are. They'll gouge.

And that's before we get to Bibi Netanyahu.

People really hurt by war are those least likely to benefit from anything that happens as result.

It's never been anything BUT an epic fuckup, from the moment the idea entered Schlump's head.

Now that I think of it, I wonder where did this idea did originate. He didn't do this alone. It was a joint effort between the U.S. and Israel. Did Bibi put him up to this? Inquiring minds want to know.

Almost looks like it's rigged. You're right, why would anyone vote for this? And it seems to happen quite often with Red in the White house. I'd like to go house to house in 1 of those counties, and ask them how they voted. If red, then why? Record and compare to actual vote. It's pretty simple.

Iran war deprives US farmers of affordable fertilizer as spring planting looms, Reuters, 3/13/26

various excerpts:

Prices for any available supplies have spiked more than a third since the war in Iran paralyzed global trade.

The U.S., which in some years imports half of its urea fertilizer, is about 25% short of the usual supplies that farmers buy for spring planting, according to The Fertilizer Institute,

More than 30% of world nitrogen fertilizer exports, as well as fertilizer components like sulfur, pass through the now effectively closed Strait of Hormuz.

The length of time that the Strait of Hormuz is closed is critical. Fertilizer loaded onto ships in the Gulf can take weeks to reach markets like the U.S., and then must be transferred to river barges, trucks or trains to reach farmland. Most fertilizer needs to be applied before the crop starts growing, so any supplies arriving too late cannot be used for the 2026 crop.
