@ianbremmer It's the same about the war, and every other issue now. Some people put partisan politics above their countries interest, even rooting for them to lose a war. Disgustingly sad state for the country.

consumer sentiment: republicans: 98. overall: 56. democrats: 38. the way people feel about the economy, not quite rationally, has everything to do with who's in the white house.

@FistedFoucault 65% are gullible. 'Large scale ground war' would fracture Trump's base who will otherwise stick with him for a couple months so long as US isn't having huge casualties. Nor would it work anyway, Iran is 4x bigger than Iraq. Special forces to hold Kharg, or man the shore - OK.

Sucks having so little visibility as to what is going on along Iran's borders I am still thinking that there will be some force on the ground showing itself soon. As to the "who?", I dunno.

@TLiaukus @VanceNate It's mainstream western media, on both sides of the ocean, brainwashing and brain rotting people, putting partisan politics even over their countries self interest and service members lives.

@VanceNate The question for me, living in East Europe. Is this all bots, or trully China's and russia's divide and conqure is working? How can a normal western humanbeing not be on Ukraine side and not hate Iran islamic republic shits?

See how gleeful many American “Patriots” were when they thought an F-35 was shot down. Turns out they were wrong like most of their retarded takes.

@vtchakarova Some people seem to think if they just repeat, "It's not our war," everything will be ok. Unfortunately for them, "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you."

As I’ve been warning, what’s coming is systemic shock. Nobody is in good place and Central Banks will quickly realize it too.

@eugyppius1 Did you even listen to him, Israel will keep going even if US did not. x.com/DrEliDavid/sta…

they’re going to try to back out and end it

@MyLordBebo How is Tucker so dense. Most of current Europe is on the payroll of the Democrat party, certainly ideologically if not literally. They carry on the work of USAID while Dems are out of power, root for Trump to fail even if it hurts their own countries & pray for Kamala or Newsom.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 "If Europe is not an ally of the USA, then China will rule the world. We should treat Europe as an ally. Europe should be an ally... There are people in the US government who really hate Europe, and I don't really understand why." — Tucker Carlson

@maria_drutska Would be worth many times that to get rid of this regime.

$200 Billion on top of the $20B already spent is a lot of money for a 4 to 5 week combat operation, especially given that almost 3 of those 4 to 5 weeks are already over Just saying

@WarMonitor3 No good reason not to do this from the start.

Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Japan have all released a joint statement signalling they are ready to support operations and actions to open the strait of Hormuz.

@ChrisO_wiki 'Persuaded Trump to back down'. 😄It was never a real thing to begin with, just his usual Art of the Deal negotiation rhetoric.

14/ Although this persuaded Trump to back down and Greenland has since faded from the headlines, the Danish government assesses that the US still poses a continuing threat to the island, according to a high-ranking source quoted by DR.

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

@EuroBriefing One of Zeihan's big bets coming true if so.

Iran's retaliatory attack on Ras Laffan not only sent oil and gas prices through the roof. It might mark the symoblic end of our era of hyper-globalisation. eurointelligence.com

@SaysSimulation This may seem counter-intuitive, but IF the US was successful removing the regime, US could actually leave the Middle East, which would be in line with the NSS and Bridge Colby's vision. Of course its a massive gamble vs instead a quagmire, militarily or just financial.

Separately, there were three major reasons why I was opposed to the US going into this war, and unfortunately, all three are playing out. 1. I was opposed to the US being militarily involved in the Middle East, the global hegemon days need to be over, and no US troops should 1/

@ianbremmer @MrFabulous43 Well Zelensky is trying to get Patriots in exchange for drones, so far no takers. Also, just make sales, which is fine. At least he's doing something.

@MrFabulous43 indeed. not only was ukraine not attacking the united states. ukraine is now helping defend the united states in the gulf.

biden total spend on ukraine: $180 billion the pentagon just asked for $200 billion for war in iran.

@FirstSquawk We are at least 3 weeks away from even the possibility of this. The best resolution is the end of the regime, Europe should get on board with that in the Strait, they don't have to actually make any offensive attacks.

EUROPEAN UNION: WE NEED AN EXIT FROM THE WAR WITH IRAN, NOT ITS ESCALATION

@FirstSquawk Fair chance they would say this even if Poland was attacked.

SPAIN TO THE EUROPEAN UNION: THIS IS NOT OUR WAR

@aimeeterese His odds on betting sites are actually going up a little, and yet no one is really following his spiraling lately. x.com/OpenSourceZone…

Remember when people were looking at Tucker Carlson as a potential candidate for POTUS just a few years ago?

@DrewPavlou Issue is 'help Ukraine' just means giving billions of aid endlessly in a war that has no military solution after 4 years. It's not remotely comparable to countries sending 1 or 2 minesweepers to the Gulf. Zelesnky tried to trade drones for Patriots in the Gulf, found no takers.

Art of the deal: The US helps Europe on Ukraine; Europe helps the US on Iran. This is a no brainer. Western civilisation must unify to defeat our shared enemies.

@SaysSimulation IDK, I think people were split on the war itself (me included) but not so far on trying to win it. Multiple polls show Trump's supporters at near 90%, NBC found 100% with MAGA! Tucker, Megyn, etc, are spiraling, but few are coming with them yet. x.com/OpenSourceZone…

die for Israel. 2. As those of you who have been following me for a while know, I generally back Trump, but think he's making a big mistake when he takes actions to split the base. Well, the attack on Iran has split the RW base more than anything preceding, 2/

@KWojczal Don't forget behind the scenes Gulf states both urged US/Israel to begin this war, and now are urging them to go all the way to finish it. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

Powszechną teza była taka, że szeroki irański odwet rozbija wiarygodność USA i torpeduje politycznie operacją wojskową, a p. Arabskie będą wywierać presję na USA i być może odmawiać Amerykanom dostępu, by chronić siebie. Ja stawiałem tezę, że Iran raczej zmobilizuje i zjednoczy region, a ewentualna trzecia operacja przeciw Iranowi będzie prowadzona już w całej, szerokiej koalicji pod przywództwem USA, włączając w to p. arabskie, a może i Turcję. Bo z terrorystą ubranym w pas szahida nie da się prowadzić sąsiedzkiej polityki. Jego trzeba zneutralizować. Zobaczymy jak to się będzie rozwijać, ale być może właśnie rodzą się pierwsze zalążki koalicji antyirańskiej.

@TallbarFIN Aside domestic wins outsiders don't care about - in the mere first 18 months of the admin, we could see the fall of 3 tyrannical regimes in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba, and freeing of millions of people - yet many cheer for the tyrants because Trump hurt their feelings with words.

Americans, how can any of you still believe that Trump is good for USA in any way?
