Donald Trump entered his war of choice against Iran without consulting global allies, but as he weighs an exit from the conflict, he is making it clear that he is expecting the world to help him fix the unintended damage that it has caused.

Trump is taking an increasingly annoyed tone toward Europe’s lack of support for the U.S.-Israeli war effort. He also is giving short shrift to the fact that his decision contributed to disrupting the flow of oil to global markets through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has managed to largely choke off even as Trump insists that Iran has been “decimated.”

    Iran seem to have LOST the propaganda war…in the United States.

    The rest of the world knows what’s really going on.

    America…so far behind it thinks it’s ahead.

    World War Greed

      Iran seem to have LOST the propaganda war…in the United States.

      Say what?

      Anecdotally, go look at the YouTube comments for any video related to Iran, their 80% against it.

      Even on local news videos, where everyone generally supports the death penalty for petty theft or aggravated liberalism.

      Even if those are bots, they’re still proof positive that the propaganda war has not been won by the pro-war factions.

      And when it was actually polled, 60% of Americans opposed the war on its first week and wars don’t get more popular over time.

      MAGA and the GOP broadly support it, which is about 1/3 or the country, but that’s a lost cause.

      Lost according to who? Everyone I’ve talked to here in the US knows that America is getting its ass kicked and they’re all pointing to trumps TACO train.

        Everyone I’ve talked to This is a thing called confirmation bias. It is highly likely that you surround yourself with people who have a mindset similar to you. Of course they will agree with your standpoint.

          Oh it’s been long known that MSM is nothing more than a government mouthpiece at this time, and luckily most people I personally know, know that and know better. You’ll always get people who fall for the propaganda

            Yes, you and I know that.

            I stopped going to the local gym BECAUSE they have Fox on the TV WITH the sound up. I get these buffed out dudes stomping back and forth in front of the TV getting madder and madder. I don’t even dare trying to talk to them. Their brain is “clean”.
