Mary Trump - The Cost of Chaos [View all]
Two months ago, before Donald launched his illegal, unconstitutional war of choice against Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Tanker traffic flowed without incident. The global economy, while fragile, was functioning.
Today, the strait is closed by Iran. Donald put an additional blockade in place. And the Trump regime has triggered what the International Energy Agency is calling the largest oil supply disruption on record.
That is not a hypothetical consequence. It is not a distant geopolitical concern. It is happening now. And the proposed exit strategy risks leaving the world worse off than it was before the conflict even began.
According to Nobel Prizewinning economist Paul Krugman, Donald has led the United States into one of the worst strategic defeats in its history. Krugman attributes that failure to what he describes as the moral, intellectual, and emotional collapse of the Republican Party. I would also add a psychological collapse.
