YouTube Description
as posted by the channelChuck Todd argues that the Gulf states who thought they could manipulate Trump are probably experiencing buyer's remorse because his erratic behavior makes him impossible to manage. He notes that the war is accelerating the global green energy transition with China positioned to benefit most, that both Russia and China have been strengthened while the United States has been weakened, and that Trump treated NATO allies terribly then got furious when they wouldn't bail him out — yet if he walks away he hands Iran even more leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.
