    Good. The sooner the US pulls out the better, the newly fascist America isn’t going to uphold NATO anyway, so the sooner the band-aid is pulled off the better

    Sucks to be US troops stationed in the Middle East during the temper tantrums. They now have longer and much more expensive logistics supply. Supply that is about to get throttled due to rising Jet fuel and strained due to lack of US Naval investment in merchant Marines.

    I grew up in a town in England where there was a USAF base nearby. On a wall under a bridge nearby there was written

    YANKS GO HOME!!!

    In big letters

    Passed it every day during childhood, the graffiti remained there for well over a decade

    There has always been resistance to the us military operating over here

        right now maybe, but I won’t believe for a second that US arms manufacturers aren’t ready to churn out more death machines

          USA’s military industrial complex has focused on high profit complex machines, with rare earth elements that came from China. The complexity doesn’t help with the churning. And China isn’t exporting the elements anymore. Who knew that starting a trade war would have consequences. Setting up replacements is going to limit production for a long time.

            His threat to nuke Iran would have started world war 3

            China is dependent on Iran for oil

            If China runs out of oil then chaos will ensue
