Has anyone said thank you to Trump yet?

I think that Trump has given Iran effective tactical control over 20% of the world's energy supply. It's highly likely that they will use this to get their country back on it's economic feet, definitely get the nuclear program finished, and force the end of the PetroDollar in the process. The appetite for the "boots on the ground" among the US public is almost zero. I doubt that even a large false flag would work at this point. The hardest part of Trump's 2 week war is going to be the first six years.

security should be built on domestic strength, specifically by securing our power grid and reducing global oil dependence. We have the technology, tools, solar, wind, advanced battery storage, nuclear power to make this happen. We have the wrong people in place to make this happen.
