Have just watched #CowardTrump crowing about winning his #IranWar , planning to walk away as the real loser with the #StraitsOfHormuz now closed and under the control of #Iran.

Iran is going to keep on hitting US assets, companies and bases in the region until their host countries force them to leave.

The best thing now for the American people to do would be to scoop him out and use him as a rowing boat. #USSTrump.

Very interesting explanation from Bret Devereaux, fairly long but does a good job of putting the whole thing into common-sense non-war-geek language, about

• practical dynamics of the war (like geography etc)

• why starting it was such an unwise move for the States and arguably also for Israel

• what some of the knock-on consequences might be, inc for ordinary people around the world.

"... it is not possible for two sides to both win a war. But it is absolutely possible for both sides _to lose_; mutual ruin is an option."

The need to ween ourselves off #FossilFuels just got real for many people with the unlawful US/Israeli attacks on #Iran resulting in the closure of the #StraitsOfHormuz.

These folks just waking up may have been in denial or agnostic to #ClimateChange…but when inflation hits every area of the economy particularly the petrol/gas in your car, then suddenly ‘Houston, we have a problem’.

We need to seize this opportunity. Our Environment Ministers everywhere should make the case for #Renewables.
