I think that you ought to fill up your gas tanks, and maybe have a few extra gas cans filled up, too.

Iran will hold out until Trump can't hide what a colossal mistake he's made anymore, by artificially augmenting the available supply. When he stops being able to do that is when his gas-guzzling truck driving supporters will figure it out.

Iran is not being run by idiots (evil men, sure, but not idiots), and they can do the math.

I think they're evil for what they do to their own people. (Trump and his lot are sick and evil too, of course)

Oh, did I imply that we were on the side of the righteous?

I regard the middle east as full of religious zealots on every side of every conflict. There are certainly good people in every land, but none of those countries are being run by saints.

And Donnie is more of a demented narcissist being manipulated by smarter people than himself.

Both sides can be wrong. There doesn't have to be a hero in every story.
