Trump Started a War He Can't Win
The United States is now entangled in a war with Iran that experts warned would not end quickly, and the consequences are mounting by the day. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for two weeks, cutting off 20% of the world's oil and natural gas supply and pushing the global economy toward recession. Trump has been calling on NATO allies and even China to help reopen the strait, the same allies he spent years alienating with tariffs and threats to abandon the NATO treaty.
