- Iran is refusing to deal with Trump because peace talks get interrupted by (((bombings and assassins))) killing their delegates.

- The straight will be closed until January 20th 2029.

- New Normal will be $30/gal for gas.

And yet the only "solution" that clowns at The_Donald can parrot is to break out the nukes.

Also, it's not his fault. Nothing is ever his fault and he actually won the war with Iran (which they simultaneously deny is a war if you bring up his "no new wars" campaign promise).

Reminder that WSJ is written for morons.

What kind of publication would print "least-bad option" as a description of the situation?

It wasn't always like this. In 1973, Saudi gave the US a good economic thrashing because of Yom Kippur. The complete subservience started after the Iraq War. Kuwait was stealing Iraqi oil and the US showed that they'd facilitate them doing whatever they want if they stood in line.

Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed

Gulf states played along before because we provided money and security. In turn, they invested most of their profits from selling us oil into our companies and industries. So, in a way, we were getting the oil for "free" and they were getting resources to build up their cities, like Dubai and Qatar. Going forward that will certainly change since America failed to protect their own bases, a huge loss of credibility.

We fought hard so they could have this.
