Terrorism, China, Russia, Columbian Drug Lords - all really nice countries that don't pose a risk and watch the Oscars.
All countries Donald Trump is "helping" with his reckless war in Iran.
Russia is openly floating the idea of trading concessions on Iranian intelligence ties in exchange for the US abandoning Ukraine, a geopolitical gift wrapped in American self-sabotage.
China, which has long wanted to dethrone the US dollar as the global reserve currency, now finds itself in the perfect position to accelerate that ambition. Iran signalling that oil passage through the Strait of Hormuz could be restricted to transactions in yuan isn't just posturing, it's a direct pressure point on the entire US financial system.
If this escalates, and it's clearly heading that way, you're looking at boots on the ground in Iran, draining US resources, exposing military doctrine, and handing strategic insight to both Russia and China in real time.
The political cost of which will be suicidal. The only way Trump can survive it is to somehow cancel the midterms.
Then you've got the absurd talk of targeting Cuba, which does nothing except signal to Beijing that Washington is overstretched and distracted, effectively inviting a move on Taiwan.
And when Trump turns around and asks allies for help, after spending the past year threatening them with tariffs and treating them like enemies, he gets told, quite rightly, to get stuffed. That's not diplomacy, that's the predictable consequence of burning every bridge in sight.
This entire move, whether born out of arrogance, incompetence, or something more compromising, has been catastrophically misjudged. He's now in too deep, with no clean exit, and the fallout is compounding by the day.
He's not just a domestic liability, he's a global one, and his supporters remain locked in, duty-bound to defend him no matter the cost.
At this point, the least damaging outcome is impeachment following a decisive midterm rejection, followed by accountability in the courts for the entire circus, from Pete Hegseth, to Kash Patel, to Pam Bondi, and most of all Trump himself.
But even that's cold comfort. The machinery he's set in motion doesn't just stop with him. The economic, military, and geopolitical damage will linger for years, and everyone pays, not just Americans, but allies as well.
And somehow, unbelievably, there are still people cheering this on, too spineless to admit they backed the wrong horse. You'd rather watch the world edge towards chaos, with mass suffering as the price, than concede you were taken in by one of the most transparent conmen of our time.
