Did Trump and his acolytes even consider the potential consequences on the wider world and the world economy of the illegal and unnegotiated attack on Iran?

The only thing they cared about was his ego and their bank balances by affecting the markets. It's been a great success for him and his investment cronies.

No its all about him his ego and looking after his rich mates plus dodging epstein files, the rest of the world can get to feck.

See today his popularity ratings in the usa today is a nice 36%. So at last many of them can see the con man has conned them

Your loss and for many others on the markets are trumps and his wealthy mates extra gains.

To him, that's what matters not you and other people. Let alone the kids and people that have died from his self serving antics.

Him and this stupid admin thought they could go in drop a few bombs and everything would be done in a few days. Thick c*** said he didn’t even think Iran would retaliate by bombing anyone back. 
 

He was talking yesterday about says he has to call it a military exercise and not a war because if he calls it a war he has to get approval but but if it’s a military operation. Not even hiding his sh** any more

He thought it'd be all done and dusted in a few hours like Venezuela

Yes, turned out he was wrong.

Said he would solve the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

Turned out also to be untrue.  Like many of his statements, are we seeing the pattern of a bullshit merchant at work?

Constantly tells us how great and clever he is, might that be false also?

I doubt he cares at all about this all he will do is say its paid actors because he doesn’t think this many people would not like him .

No, but it shows not all Americans are fooled by him.

I think the only people that still believe anything he says now are the pure maga people that believe every word he says no matter how many times it’s proven wrong it’s just a weird cult at this stage. 
hopefully enough people turn out in the mid terms that will help slow what he’s doing down , if it isn’t rigged or cancelled

Awful incident in Derby and a typically awful response on social media.

He’s probably going to end up releasing the Epstein files as a distraction…

Something like 80% of republicans still think he's doing a good job!

I really think the right to vote should be removed them. Perhaps they would like to come back under our rule for there own safety.

It's funny that you should say that even tongue-in-cheek, because the "SAVE America" Act that these people are proposing is voter suppression which will lead to that exact effect across certain demographics. 

 

They're very serious about removing that right and tipping the scales for all future elections in their favour.

They are just blinded by stupidity at this point and refuse to accept when the are wrong like the leader himself .  ask any of them what he campaigned on and what he is keeping his promises on not one can tell you anything he is doing is what he said he would. They think he cares about the but he only cares about making money dropping bombs and getting a statue of himself somewhere.

Interesting article from the much admired and very knowledgeable Jeremy Bowen on the Iran/Trump conflict:

The thing is Trump’s behaviour is achieving his goal.

 

He’s creating a new order in the world, when he goes there’s no going back to how it was. 77 million of some of the dumbest SOB’s (In my opinion) on the planet decided to ignore all of his flaws and vote for him to be leader of the free world. There’s nothing guaranteeing they won’t go down a similar path again. 
 

Whatever relationship the UK, Europe and other western democracies have with America going forward it will be very different.

Sadly the USA is the strongest force in world, politically, economically and militarily although China is a close second and will probably become greater than the USA, followed by India and Pakistan in the future.

 

Countries that we in the west have for so long now, ignorantly and stupidly considered them to be backward and undeveloped with the population being made up of people that wash themselves and their laundry in rivers.

 

We're going to be proven so wrong in the years ahead.

Looking at the news the last few days in regards to Iran and it's like the US was never there. All being reported as Israel attacking them. 

 

Interesting twist, not sure why, but assume it's to do with trump quickly retreating as soon as it got a bit messy

Seems like they’re prepping for a ground invasion unfortunately, which would be absolutely insane btw. It would be a bloodbath.

Insane mainly because once you are in it is very hard to get out.  I suspect the US could walk over Iran on the ground much like it did Iraq, but then what?  Walk out again?  Leaving utter chaos?
