I am amazed that this can be allowed to happen. America seems more like an oligarchy than a democracy. Can some of his madness not be stopped by the Senate or the House of Representatives?

It’s very sad times, this needless war has cost many so dearly, financially and other ways.

Trump is a monster, he stated very clearly he’d “stop the Ukrainian and Gaza” wars, not only has he not done this, he’s effectively started a third war.

AGAA4

Trump has caused what seems to be a never ending war. The US and Iran both saying it wasn't them who broke the ceasefire.
Oil prices have surged again.
Before the war the strait was fully open but now Iran want tolls from ships passing through.
They are annoyed that ships are taking a route that does not pass near Iran so they can't take tolls.
Trump started this and he is walking away with very abusive words for Iran. Calling them scum and cuckoo isn't going to help.
What a mess this one man has made!

I completely agree.

This tiresome man is creating such mayhem that when he finally goes it will take the USA decades to become a respected ally once more. If trump wasn’t quite so jealous of everything that Obama achieved, there would never have been a war with Iran. Obama and other leaders had signed an acceptable deal with Iran which trump tore up. I’m not sorry to say this but trump is a sex offender (confirmed by the Supreme Court), a racist, sexist, lying monster.

Those were headline in the Metro newspaper, but it just about sums up Trumps latest -

peace ends, bomb to bits, Iran responds, Straits closed, Trump now states he is going to take Greenland, Trump smashes at NATO.

This is my personal view, and I don't want it to distract from other discussions about what is happening in the Middle East and Iran areas

but for me a world without Trump who can turn his defence department into a war cabinet, and consistently talks war war not jaw jaw is forcing the world to all spend more on defence until we are bristling with armaments.

and here we are sweltering in high temperatures with news of dying species and melting ice all over the world, climate change, and cutting our spending on that - instead of stuff like cheap solar panels and even more investments in those industries and alternatives to car use.

Here's the front page I alluded to, I'm sure someone with a more active brain than me today can find more a more succinct statement on the picture as regards Trump and Iran.
