The "success" of Trump's Iran war in four headlines
1: Americans doing business in The Middle East are forced out of 14 countries.
2: In what appears to be a catastrophic mistargeting, American forces bomb girl's school killing 165, mostly children, while trying to hit the Assef Brigade living quarters, 150 meters from the school.
3: The oil price nearly doubles, harming the US economy and consumer prices further.
4: USA already lost 92,000 jobs in February, so the timing could not be worse.
@Enea90 @randahl I was thinking the same. There's also indications that some of the Christian nationalist types who have Trump's ear, are actively trying to bring about Armageddon because they think Jesus is about to return. The aims of the evangelical faction dovetail neatly with those of the disaster capitalists, which should terrify the rest of us.
Trump himself, of course, is just along for the ride because his family will profit from the Presidency no matter what. It's a giant clusterfuck.

They have been since Regan handed the christian right southern upper class a bigger door to federal power. The Denver based Baptist Convention (not same as main Baptist church) is a main player and the Nazi crowd like the Kochs, also pissed about the civil rights actions, threw their money behind the common creed of pure genetics. Big money started flowing to hand picked candidates in small town elections and what they could pick off elsewhere. They focused a lot on school boards and the subsequent stifling of intelligent public education followed with taxes going to local sports facilities instead. It started about a generation and a half ago. Its been relentless and few listened when some pointed out the pattern.
