Trump LOSES IT as HE CAN'T GET OUT of DISASTER WAR - Legal AF



Michael Popok reports on Trump and his inner circle being caught flat footed with Iranian's military response including blockading the Straight of Hormuz through which 20 percent of the world oil flows, and 32 Western allies, including France and countries Trump bashes, have had to come to Trump's rescue to release 400 million barrels of oil from the reserve to stabilize the US Economy.

All this while Trump's closest advisors scramble to try to come up with a limited set of goals to get the US out of Iran quickly. - 03/11/2026.

Trump had no specific goals for getting into the not-a-war, and no logic.

Therefore, he could stop the war with the same thinking.

The stumbling block for ending the conflict of course, is the deeply ingrained US thinking that Democracy is superior to autocratic Islamic governance.
Neither is perfect.

Maybe it is time for some less black & white, less good guy/bad guy thinking?
